Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge In Florida Is As Amazing As It Sounds

Rejoice, young Jedi...your wildest Star Wars dreams can come true right here at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge in Florida.

Following the overwhelming success of the latest Star Wars movie trilogy, an entire theme park has been opened that is dedicated to the amazing world(s) first introduced to us back in 1977 when Episode IV: A New Hope first appeared on the silver screen.

Although 20th Century Fox released the original trilogy and the prequel trilogy, Disney acquired LucasFilms and production rights in 2012 and have continued the saga with Episode VII: The Force Awakens, as well as creating a new parallel anthology with Rogue One.

If there is one thing that Disney loves more than princesses…it’s theme parks.

The planet portrayed in Galaxy's Edge is Batuu, which first appeared in the 2018 novel Star Wars: Thrawn: Alliances. The village is named Black Spire Outpost.

One of the most popular rides at Galaxy's Edge is Star Wars: Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run.

The ride allows visitors to pilot the Millennium Falcon!

Each guest is given a different job to perform on the Falcon, so some riders will be pilots, some gunners, and some engineers.

The ride is interactive and the characters that you speak with afterwards will give you different comments based on your performance.

Make sure to check out Oga's Cantina, one of several eateries within Galaxy's Edge! There's even another restaurant that serves blue and green milk.

The park also features Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, a ride in which guests are thrown directly into the middle of a Resistance vs First Order battle.

Incredibly, the ride has 65 Animatronic characters, including many Stormtroopers.

Of course, no Star Wars story would be complete without droids, and there are plenty in Black Spire Outpost!

In Savi's Workshop, guests can create their own custom lightsaber!

One really beloved area of the park is Mubo's Droid Depot, where guests can create their own custom droid to bring home with them.
