Star Wars: Datapad additional jobs coming as Rise of Resistance opens

In addition to the rides and shopping available at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, one of the fun ways to pass the time is with the Star Wars: Datapad in the Play Disney Parks App.

Now that Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is opening on Dec. 5 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the datapad is being updated and you will be able choose to support either the First Order or the Resistance.

First, look for the new Star Destroyer icon in your Datapad.

Distress Signal Received: If you choose to help the Resistance you’ll receive a distress signal from Finn, who is undercover on a Star Destroyer near Batuu. Connect and help him navigate the ship by selecting his path – and you may even free Resistance prisoners, reprogram droids and gather information on what the First Order is up to on the way. Depending on the route you share with Finn, you’ll uncover items and schematics exclusive to this assignment.

Infiltrate Resistance Recruitment: First Order loyalists entering the Resistance recruit line will be tasked with surveilling and reporting back on the status of Resistance supplies. You will be able to communicate with a First Order officer as you make your way through, and with her instruction you may choose to scan crates, intercept transmissions or even plant tracking devices from your Datapad.

You will also be able to continue using the other functions of the datapad -hacking tuning and translation.
