‘Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge’ Opens at Disneyland Park: Take a Peek Inside!

/ Entertainment, Quick Read / By

Phase One of Disneyland’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is now officially open! The attraction features the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers’ Run, a ride that invites visitors to climb into the cockpit and fly on a thrilling interactive smuggling mission, along with a plethora of Star Wars-themed restaurants and shops and full-scale droids milling about.

The next ride, Rise of the Resistance, is set to open later this year. According to Disney, “Rise of the Resistance will be one of the most advanced and immersive experiences ever undertaken by Walt Disney Imagineering, where guests can join a climactic battle against the First Order.”

Park visitors can join Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Lando Calrissian in building their own custom lightsaber at Savi’s Workshop or design and assemble a customized droid at the Droid Depot. There’s also plenty of spots to recharge, including Oga’s Cantina or Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo where guests can feast on galactic favorites.

To unveil the 14-acre themed destination, Disney held a star-studded grand opening. Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, Billy Dee Williams, George Lucas, and Disney CEO Bob Iger were on-hand at the California family-favorite theme park to welcome superfans to planet Batuu.

Florida’s Disney World has announced that it will open its own Galaxy’s Edge attraction on August 29, 2019.

Build your own droid at the Droid Depot!

Build your own droid review in caption: My kids wanted one souvenir from my visit to #GalaxysEdge – a custom built droid. But then "custom" to them meant I had to build BB-8 and nothing else. This experience was fun and totally a great value at $99. My kids have loved playing with their BB-8. The Droid Depot line can vary greatly. We had little to no wait during our 8pm to midnight reservation. I was able to build with all 3 of my friends watching. The building experience was quick since I am an adult but I can imagine it would take a bit longer for kids. You can buy personality chips and extra accessories but even without the chip, my droid beeped and booped all through out Blackspire Outpost. I would definitely suggest this to families, especially those with kids into remote control vehicles. If you want all the info on visiting Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge I created a page that links to some of the best articles to help plan your trip to Batuu.
