New details released on Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge food and shops
The opening of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is just months away, a lot sooner in Disneyland than in Disney World, and we are starting to get more details about what we will find inside both 14-acre lands.
In addition to the two rides that have been highly touted – Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, where you find yourself in the middle of an epic battle between the Resistance and the First Order, and Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, where you will be part of the Falcon’s flight crew on a special mission – the land itself is designed to be fully immersive. (For those Universal fans, think Harry Potter.)
The land itself is taking place on the planet of Batuu, a place for the galaxy’s most notorious characters. Disney’s Scott
