April 2018 aerial photos of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge construction
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is a little more than a year away before opening at Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World with many of the show buildings complete for the interior work to go into high-gear.
A large section of the exterior areas still need to be built. Below is an April 2018 look at the contruction site courtesy of @bioreconstruct. (Who is a great person to follow for updates on construction projects around Orlando.)
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge will be an immersive area. Guest go to the planet of Batuu, where Star Wars characters and their stories will come to life. The main entrance to the area is from the new Grand Avenue area of Hollywood Studios. Another entrance will be from the new Toy Story Land, scheduled to open this summer.
Two major attractions anchor the new land. On one ride you fly the Millennium Falcon on an adventure. The second attraction puts you in the middle of a battle between the First Order and the Resistance.
The land at Disney World is scheduled to open in the summer of 2019. The version at Disneyland should open sooner in 2019 since construction started sooner.
