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.”
