Discover the new Star Wars amusement park in California

After literally gaping at the trailer for the latest Star Wars installment, (The Rise of Skywalker), we were able to find out more about the brand’s latest commercial move. It is a massive expansion dedicated to the popular saga that will take place both at Disneyland Resort (Anaheim, California) and at Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World Resort (Orlando, Florida). Under the name of Galaxy’s Edge, the Star Wars amusement park , or rather, the parks, will be the great sensation of this summer. It should be noted that the project constitutes the most outstanding expansion of the last 70 years. Almost nothing.

The presentation took place at the Star Wars Celebration in Chicago , and it sat very well with travelers from around the world who are already rubbing their hands with the idea of immersing themselves fully in the Star Wars universe. And they will, because the attractions that their designers have prepared are designed to interact with them, as we will see in the next sections.

Throughout more than 54,000 square meters, lovers of the saga will be able to embody their favorite Star Wars characters while they travel the most remote places of the galaxy . It is, in a way, “unpublished material” that we can all enjoy, and that constitutes one of the great attractions of the visit. The thematic zones are so detailed and rich in references that they will surprise the most geeks.

Interactivity is a fundamental quality of the attractions, so that we will be forced to assume the role in epic situations that confront the two sides of the current narrative line: the First Order and the Resistance. Which one do you prefer?

Millennium Falcon deserves special mention : Smugglers Run , an experience that turns the lucky occupants of the Falcon into true smugglers. In groups of six (two gunners, two pilots and two engineers), the team members must place themselves under the command of Hondo Ohnaka to complete a black market mission. The gunners will have to eliminate the numerous enemies who are after the Falcon; The engineers will have to solve problems in the ship caused by the lack of success of their companions, and the pilots will have to deal with the obstacles scattered in their trajectory. Once the “game” is over, the results will become part of the annals of Galaxy’s Edge, and will be available on the attraction’s official application .

During the wait, it will be possible to enjoy a life-size replica of the Millennium Falcon, which will make the queues more bearable. Also, we can take photos with the ship in the background and discover more details about the story with the help of the aforementioned app. Also, if you buy a soda it will come customized with different designs from, guess what, Star Wars.

As if all the above were not enough, in both areas it will be possible to get a fully customized lightsaber from the different elements at our disposal. As most of us have never assembled our own lightsaber in life, these spaces are staffed by “cool” Jedi masters who will assist us in the task. A detail that will allow you to enjoy this collector’s item and add your touch to its design.
