The Star Wars-themed lands at Disneyland and Walt Disney World have a new name: Galaxy’s Edge.
And this expansion into the galaxy far, far away will come with some additional rides, attractions, and (in Florida) even a Star Wars hotel, where guests will get a costume to wear and can interact with aliens and fellow Jedi and Sith in an immersive story.
The news came at the D23 Expo, where Bob Chapek, Chairman of Walt Disney parks and resorts, pulled back the curtain of specific parts of the project, which is slated to open in 2019.
At the D23 Expo two years ago, fans learned that one ride would involve piloting the Millennium Falcon in a dogfight with the forces of the First Order. Now, we have concept art showing what it will look like inside the cockpit.
