ORLANDO, Fla. — Our own galaxy far, far away is getting even closer to opening, and Disney just dropped more details about the long-awaited Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge land.
The Star Wars-themed land opens at Disneyland in California this summer and at Walt Disney World in Orlando in the fall. The immersive world is called Black Spire Outpost on the planet of Batuu.
We already know the land will be one of the largest in Disney parks history and will have at least two rides: Rise of the Resistance and Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run. We also already know the lands will have places to grab a bite and cantinas to catch up on galactic gossip.
Entertainment Weekly and the Associated Press got a tour of the nearly-complete 14-acre land, including inside the area's centerpiece: Han Solo's Millennium Falcon.
The ride will let guests pilot the spacecraft that, "just like the movies, will get a little bumpy." The trip will include an encounter with First Order fights and the exhilarating experience of traveling at light speed.
But before taking off, you'll be able to walk the halls and corridors of the Falcon and hang out in the area where many have played rounds of chess-like game Dejarik.
