More details released on Star Wars Datapad in Play Disney Parks app

Disney is hoping to expand guests experience when they visit Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge with the use of the Play Disney Parks app and the interactive elements that can be activated throughout the new 14-acre land.

The first phase of the new land opens May 31 at Disneyland and Aug. 29 at Walt Disney World.

Here’s what more you will be able to do with the Datapad:

• The “hacking” feature will allow you to not only to interact with certain door panels but to see the memories of droids.
• The “scanning” tool will allow you to peek inside of cargo crates you may spot while walking around.
• The“translation” tool will help you understand Aurebesh (the written language of the Star Wars galaxy) signs throughout Black Spire Outpost.
• The “tuning” feature will allow you to ap into and decrypt signals from antennas or communications devices and listen to secret messages. 

The First Order is trying to install surveillance devices in door panels to spy on the Resistance throughout the Black Spire Post. You will be able to use your datapad to join in a land-wide game. You will be able to join either side and winners may find they received galactic credits.

When online to board the Millennium Falcom you can take a job from Hondo Ohnaka, the pirate turned “legitimate” businessman operating Ohnaka Transport Solutions out of Black Spire Outpost. Reroute misplaced cargo, learn how to keep your cover under pressure and prep the Falcon for your flight in this in-queue game.
