The setting is the remote planet of Batuu, which sits at the very edge of the galaxy in the Star Wars™ universe. You spend your time in a town called Black Spire Outpost, its walkways teeming with Stormtroopers and spies, droids and Rebels. While there, you can construct a custom droid at the Droid Depot or build a personalized lightsaber at Savi’s Workshop. (Purchase required; reservations recommended.) Or tap your foot to cosmic music while savoring a Bespin Fizz or Fuzzy Tauntaun at Oga’s Cantina. Throughout Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, you can use your phone to decipher coded messages, translate alien languages, and see hidden secrets inside mysterious crates.

Deep-Space Adventure

Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, one of the two signature rides at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, lets you take the controls of the most famous starship in the galaxy. As Star Wars^TM fans know, the Millennium Falcon was piloted by Han Solo with help from his first mate, the wookiee Chewbacca. Entering the full-size Falcon, you find yourself part of a six-person flight crew that virtually “flies” the starship, which responds in real-time based on the actions of its crew. Two people are chosen to be pilots, two are gunners, and two are engineers. Pilots face the front windshield and fly the Millennium Falcon with steering controls; when prompted, they launch the vessel into hyperspace. Gunners sit behind the pilots and shoot virtual blasters at the bad guys. Behind the gunners sit the engineers, who fix problems on the starship by pushing buttons when prompted. Each crew member gets scored on how well he or she did during the flight.

Join the Resistance

The amazing Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance takes you aboard a transport shuttle where a Star Destroyer captures you. You end up in the middle of a climactic battle between the First Order and the Resistance. The attraction, which takes nearly 30 minutes to experience, features three different ride systems, a hangar full of Stormtroopers, and two towering AT-AT walkers.

You can visit Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Walt Disney World_® Resort, inside Disney’s Hollywood Studios_®.
