This past week, Disney announced that
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge will be opening ahead of schedule. The massive, 14-acre
Star Wars-themed expansion will transport guests to a galaxy far, far away — to the remote planet of Batuu where visitors will explore Black Spire Outpost, the infamous stop for traders, adventurers, and smugglers around the Outer Rim.
Throughout the construction process, Disney has slowly lifted the curtain on
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge,
detailing the attractions, shops, and restaurants. And while we've seen some behind-the-scenes shots of the land, a new drone video gives us our best look yet at
Galaxy's Edge.
Courtesy of ABC 7 Los Angeles' Rob McMillan, the new video offers us an in-depth look at the land. We get a quick glimpse at some of the impressive rock work and hangar interiors, as well as some familiar ships, including Luke's old landspeeder, Poe Dameron's X-Wing, and the Millennium Falcon.
The Millennium Falcon will serve as the focal point of one of
Galaxy Edge's two planned attractions.
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run invites a group of six visitors to pilot the iconic ship in a "completely interactive experience" that involves managing every aspect of the ship's controls directly from the Falcon's cockpit.
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is slated to open on May 31, 2019, at Disneyland Park at the Disneyland Resort and August 29, 2019, at Disney's Hollywood Studios at the Walt Disney World Resort.
