In a galaxy far, far away… Star Wars Galaxy's Edge. In fact, it's not that far: the new Star Wars area at Disney is in Florida (and also in disneyland, california).
Construction on both parks began in April 2016 and the grand opening took place in 2019 (first at Disneyland and later at Disney World). In Florida, the attraction will be attached to Hollywood Studios.
In addition to being a Star Wars themed area, the attraction is also a new form of Disney storytelling. Basically, the place is part of the Star Wars Universe and will be intertwined with the mythology of the franchise.
As Bob Iger, former Disney CEO, explains: “the area will be occupied by many inhabitants: humanoids, aliens and androids. Everything will be part of our storytelling. There will be nothing out of character or mythology“.
Therefore, the area will be a spectacle for Star Wars fans. Starting with the setting, as Galaxy's Edge will be based on a planet called Batuu.
