On Christmas morning, Disney shared a behind-the-scenes update on
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, the massive 14-acre new
Star Wars-themed land opening in Disney’s Hollywood Studios next year. But if you were too busy to sit through the entire show for your sneak peek, Disney has now shared the video online.
The video features brief commentary from some key figures responsible for bringing
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge to life.
“It will be jaw-dropping and incredibly emotional to walk into the land for the first time,” promises Carrie Beck, VP of Lucasfilm Story Group.
“To actually be standing there amongst the buildings, amongst the ships, and have this feeling that it is all real. That it has been brought to life. And it is right there in front of you - it’s overwhelming.”
The behind-the-scenes video also features more details and updated footage from
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run and
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, the two attractions that will be featured in
Galaxy’s Edge. While we’ve known for a while now that
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run will put guests in the cockpit of the fastest ship in the galaxy, the
Rise of the Resistance ride has been a little more mysterious. The video finally sheds light on what park guests can expect from “the most epic attraction” Disney has ever built.
Get ready to take control of the fastest ship in the galaxy on Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run. Or join in an epic battle on Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, the biggest and most immersive Disney Parks attraction ever.
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge will open in summer 2019 at Disneyland Resort and late fall 2019 at Walt Disney World Resort.
