Hollywood Studios Rides and Attractions

Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge




Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge Overview

Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is said to be Disney's most immersive theme park land to date. Imagineers and executives have touted detailed story elements and theming that they promise will please lifelong fans of the Star Wars franchise while welcoming and enticing newcomers to the "galaxy far far away." The new 14-acre land has already opened at Disneyland Park and is now open at Disney’s Hollywood Studios as well!

When guests enter Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, they will find themselves on the remote planet of Batuu. Rather than develop a land around any of the franchise's previously established settings, Disney has created a brand-new world that will have its own unique place in Star Wars history. This unique setting will offer a genuine Star Wars experience where even the biggest fans can discover some special “hidden gems” and familiar details.

Batuu's story line is primed for a Star Wars-style adventure. A home to smugglers, rogue traders, and adventurers, Batuu's glory days as a major spaceport ended after the creation of hyperspace travel. Now on the outskirts of civilization, the planet is perfect for those looking to get out from under the First Order's thumb. Even on Batuu, though, guests will still see the ever-encroaching presence of the oppressive First Order, as well as the Resistance who struggles to oppose them.

Carrie Beck, VP of Lucasfilm Story Group, said, "It's not Star Wars without the 'war,' so it was absolutely fundamental that the story of the land actually finds the guest between the Resistance and the First Order."

Walt Disney World's Galaxy's Edge will also lie adjacent to an accompanying Star Wars-themed deluxe resort experience "seamlessly connected" to Disney's Hollywood Studios, where guests will be able to increase their immersion even more with wall-to-wall theming and story elements.
