Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge - NEW land opening 2019
The force is growing at Disney’s Hollywood Studios! In 2019, guests will be transported to a never-before seen planet where Star Wars characters and stories come to life. Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge will include two signature rides, featuring the Millennium Falcon and a Star Destroyer!
At 14 acres in size, this new land will be the largest single-themed expansion ever added to a Disney theme park!
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge will be set on the Planet Batuu, a remote settlement on the galaxy’s edge. It is home to those who prefer to stay out of the mainstream, and is a thriving place for smugglers, rogue traders, and adventurers travelling between the frontier and uncharted space.
Whilst here, guests will be able to meet a few familiar faces, including BB-8, Chewbacca, members of the First Order and many more of your favourite characters. You’ll also be able to relax and enjoy a refreshing glass of blue milk at the Cantina.
View a model of the new land! Inside the Walt Disney Presents exhibit at Disney’s Hollywood Studios the Star Wars: A Galaxy’s Edge model is currently on display for all to see.

There’s some great Star Wars merchandise to take home from your Disney trip too. Inside the Tatooine Traders store at Hollywood Studios, you’ll find an awesome **Build Your Own Lightsaber kiosk** and **Droid Factory**, allowing guests to create their own Star Wars merchandise.
Merchandise can also be bought from the Once Upon a Toy Store at Disney Springs, which has a whole room filled with Star Wars goodies.
