We Finally Know What You Can Do At Disney’s Hyped Star Wars Land
It seems like it was a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away that Disney announced it would be bringing Star Wars experiences to its parks in the United States. We’ve been waiting for more details of the Star Wars land, jumping at any little bit of info, like drone footage of the park under construction. The wait for info is over!
We finally have some more details to share after Disney revealed on the weekend some tidbits about what galactic experiences you can expect at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge the official name of the Star Wars land).

The first replicates the familiar experience of piloting the Millennium Falcon just like old buddies Han, Luke and Leia from the Original Trilogy, or Rey and Chewbacca from the new films. Aspiring scoundrels will be able to take control of the Falcon in “one of three unique and critical roles” during the Millenium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run attraction.

As an added bonus, Disney also revealed that John Williams himself – the Oscar-winning composer of the score for all main-series ‘Star Wars’ episodes – will record new themes especially for the ‘Star Wars’ land attractions. You can catch a preview of the new ‘Star Wars’ tunes below.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is due to open in 2019 at Disneyland Resort California in the US summer, and at Walt Disney World Resort Florida during the US autumn.
