EDIT: Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge opens at Disneyland on May 31st 2019 and August 29 at Walt Disney World’s Disney Hollywood Studios
We are getting closer and closer to the opening of Star wars: Galaxy’s Edge over at Disneyland and Walt Disney World. This week, Disney released all kinds of new information on what’s going on in Batuu.
Continuing their fight against the First Order, the Resistance has set up a base on the outskirts of Black Spire Outpost. In both parks, guest will run into old friends like, Ray, Finn, Poe, BB-8, and Chewie. And may have a run-in with the First Order.
Attractions
Two all new thrilling attractions await us in the new land. Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance
Per D23: “Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run is a level of guest participation in a ride that we haven’t done,” says Robin Reardon, portfolio executive producer, Walt Disney Imagineering. “When you step into that cockpit as the only flight crew of the only Millennium Falcon for the day that’s going on that mission, that’s a pretty amazing leap in terms of storytelling from the very beginning. And the payoff and participatory nature of the experience are, so far, unparalleled.”
The second attraction, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, is one of the most advanced and immersive experiences ever undertaken by Walt Disney Imagineering. As new Resistance recruits, guests will join a climactic battle against the First Order, including a run-in with Kylo Ren. Their journey will take them inside a full-size starship and aboard a nearby Star Destroyer.

Merchendise
Of course, there will be merch! And in stores like The Droid Depo, Savi’s Workshop, Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities, Creature Stall, and the Resistance Supply. Per D23: One thing you won’t find: “evergreen” Star Wars products. Everything was created specifically for Galaxy’s Edge. Or, as Brad puts it, “We’re giving today’s consumers an experience only we can deliver.” Items reflect the stories of yore, as they’ve been told throughout Black Spire Outpost. With a vast array of innovative goods, he adds, “[There are] many levels of discovery.”
The App
There’s an app for that! Per D23: The app will provide new opportunities for guests to engage with the land, like translating a galactic language, learning what’s hidden inside crates and containers, or accomplishing certain tasks by participating in missions. Guests also can use the app to interact with a variety of elements, like antenna arrays, door panels, drinking fountains, droids, media screens, and ships.
We can’t wait to see Star Wars come to live at Disneyland and Walt Disney World! Summer is just around the corner!
