Disney World’s new land, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opened August 29, 2019. This land is a highly themed area that allows you to live your own Star Wars adventures as you explore the remote planet of Batuu.
You arrive at Batuu, an outpost along the galaxy’s Outer Rim on the frontier of Wild Space when you enter the land. The planet is home to Black Spire Outpost, an infamous port for smugglers, traders and adventurers wishing to avoid any unnecessary entanglements with the First Order. When you arrive at Black Spire Outpost, you encounter aliens, droids and other inhabitants of this planet. Along the way, you may encounter some familiar faces, such as Rey, Chewbacca, or even Supreme Leader Kylo Ren and his Stormtroopers. Soon after you arrive to the planet Batuu, you’ll be able to transform the Play Disney Parks app into your Star Wars: Datapad—designed to guide you deeper and deeper into an adventure in a galaxy far, far away.
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run is an interactive ride experience. You climb into the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon and take the controls of the ship as a pilot, an engineer or a gunner. The engines rumble as the Millennium Falcon blasts off, pushing you and your crew back into your seats when you jump into hyperspace towards adventure. Along the way you’ll face danger at every turn. The ride experience responds in real time to the actions the crew take.
A second attraction, opening Dec. 5, 2019, at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, is Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. It puts you in the middle of a climactic battle between the First Order and the Resistance. The Resistance is gathering recruits for a secret mission. Along the way, Star Wars characters—including Rey, Finn, Poe Dameron and BB-8 may join you to fight the First Order. Your journey takes you aboard a full-size transport shuttle which is captured by a First Order Star Destroyer, with Kylo Ren on board. Fortunately, a covert team of Resistance fighters is at the ready to give you a fighting chance to escape—and a chance for the Resistance to rise.
A multi-purpose transport shuttle docked on top of a large hangar beckons guests into Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo restaurant, a designated location for traveling food shuttles. You can sit inside the spacious hanger, or grab a table in the rustic outdoor seating area surrounded by the crumbling walls of the old marketplace.
The Droid Depot invites you to construct your own droid. You pick pieces off a conveyor belt stocked with parts, chips, manuals and other tech items to build one of two core models (R-series or BB-series). You can customize your droid with various parts and colors. These droids interact with elements throughout the land, enhancing your adventures.
At Savi’s Workshop, you can build and customize your very own lightsaber and bring it to life through the power of kyber crystals. You’ll choose one of 4 available hilt themes – Peace and Justice, Power and Control, Elemental Nature, or Protection and Defense. Reservations highly suggested!
In Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities, shop for mysterious and unique galactic artifacts. You will find a selection of rare and mysterious items for sale, representing different eras of the Star Wars galaxy, including holocrons, ancient Jedi and Sith artifacts, lightsabers and more.
Resistance Supply is a “makeshift” location at the Resistance’s hidden command post, selling Resistance pins, badges, hats and other accessories to help you feel like part of the cause.
First Order Cargo, meanwhile, is a temporary First Order storage dock easily identified by a never-before-seen First Order TIE echelon ship. The cargo location offers you a chance to pledge your loyalty by purchasing pins, caps, gear, model ships and more (you will be actively recruited by members of the Resistance while there).
You become part of the story as you try galactic food, beverages (Blue Milk, Green Milk, a variety of exotic drinks like the Sour Sarlacc or Tatooine Sunset), shop for items, and help control the Millennium Falcon in the Smugglers Run ride. You can interact with different areas in the park with your Play Disney Parks mobile app. With the app you can aid a smuggler, pledge loyalty to the First Order, or join the resistance.
