All ‘Star Wars’ Eras Soon to Feature in Galaxy’s Edge
Disneyland’s Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge is set to undergo significant changes, allowing fans to experience multiple eras of the Star Wars saga. On April 29, iconic characters like Luke Skywalker and Han Solo will make their appearances in their younger forms, alongside Darth Vader.
Upcoming Changes at Galaxy’s Edge
The updates aim to broaden the park’s narrative scope beyond the original timeframe established during its 2019 opening. Previously confined to the timeline between *Star Wars: The Last Jedi* and *Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker*, the attraction will now embrace a more diverse storytelling approach. This shift will enhance guest immersion in the Star Wars universe.
New Character Appearances
With the expansion of storylines on Batuu, visitors can expect the following:
- Younger versions of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Princess Leia
- Darth Vader in a familiar form
- Iconic characters from the new series, such as the Mandalorian and Grogu
- Familiar faces like Rey and Ahsoka Tano
Enhanced Experiences
Along with new characters, Disney plans to introduce additional elements to enhance the guest experience:
- Updated attractions such as the Droid Depot and Savi’s Workshop, featuring a new droid family
- Improved background music that includes John Williams’ themes
- The Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run will receive a new overlay featuring the Mandalorian and Grogu, launching on May 22
Geographical Exclusivity
Currently, these changes are limited to Disneyland in California, with no official word on similar updates for Galaxy’s Edge at Walt Disney World in Florida. This decision allows both parks to offer unique experiences within the same franchise.
In summary, the upcoming alterations at Galaxy’s Edge promise to enrich the Star Wars experience, bringing beloved characters and new stories to life. For those eager to immerse themselves in all Star Wars eras, Disneyland will become the premier destination for fans.
