The happiest place on Earth is about to make Star Wars fans downright ecstatic. On Friday, 31 May, Disneyland opens the gate to Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, an immersive world where followers of the Resistance or First Order can experience their own galactic adventures. Both locations of the park (Disney World's counterpart opens 29 August) will boast two major new attractions, Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. Unfortunately for early guests, only the first ride is ready for the grand opening. (Rise of the Resistance should be available later this year.) Then again, visitors will be so busy piloting the Falcon, getting up close with an X-Wing, meeting Kylo Ren and gawking at the marketplace that they may not miss it. Here are some new images of the streets of Galaxy's Edge, including its star attraction.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge will be accessible at Disneyland Resort on May 31.
