There has been a ton of new information and details about Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, from all sorts of different sources. The Disney Parks blog, Star Wars Celebration, things that have popped up in various facebook groups, and through my travel agent email. It seems like a lot to keep track of, and with my own visit approaching soon I wanted to get it all into one place. I thought it might be helpful to other people who are visiting or just curious as well!
If you want to know the basic details about how visiting Galaxy’s Edge will work and planning your trip, you’ll want to check out this blog post for helpful information.
Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run
The queue will be part of the attraction. Here you will be assigned jobs within your group of 6. You will hang out here for 2-3 minutes, take pictures, check everything out, before being called down the hallway to the cockpit. The CMs will help you get seated and strapped in for the mission. Once the crew is ready, Hondo will be your guide.
Besides the flashing buttons that you need to push, you will hear Hondo helping you through the mission – “Let’s go to Lightspeed” and maybe he’ll encourage you to shoot some TIE Fighters. Once your mission has been completed, you will return to Hondo’s base and land inside where you started.
the exit hallway (while you’re still “onboard” the Falcon) will change depending on how well you performed. If you bumped a lot of stuff or took some blaster hits, it will look damaged…
Must be 38″ or taller to ride.
Rise of the Resistance
Rise of the Resistance is a trackless dark ride which lasts about 25 minutes long. It has a 40″ height requirement. Disney currently uses a virtual queue to ride this attraction – there is no standby line.
When you reach the point where all of the queues meet inside the mountain, everyone will see BB-8 there. He will project a holographic message from Rey, explaining that the Resistance needs YOUR help. After her message, 2 large doors will open in front of you and you will see the ITS shuttle (see image attached) – 48-50 people at a time will be ushered into the ITS shuttle for transport.
Head here for everything you need to know about Rise of the Resistance!

Food and Drink
Oga’s Cantina – “Welcome to the local cantina, where bounty hunters, smugglers, rogue traders and weary travelers of all ages come together to refuel, enjoy music and conduct meetings—no questions asked. ” Because the Cantina is so small, drink buyers will be under a one-hour time limit. When your time is up, you’ll be asked to leave so another guest can experience the location.
There will be a variety of alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages served, including Moogan Tea, Blue Bantha, Bloody Rancor, and the Black Spire Brew.
Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo – “Chef Strono “Cookie” Tuggs has docked a food freighter loaded with fresh supplies and he’s ready to satisfy the appetites of visitors and locals alike with an array of exotic offerings.”
Food served will include Braised Shaak Roast, Felucian Garden Spread, Fried Endorian Tip-Yip or Oven-roasted Tip Yip (chicken), Ithorian Garden Loaf (plant based “meatloaf”), Oven-roasted Burra Fish, Smoked Kaadu Ribs, and a Yobshrimp Noodle Salad
Ronto Roasters – a stand serving a Ronto Wrap (filled with spiced grilled sausage and roasted pork). You’ll also find turkey jerky here and a few non-alcoholic specialty drinks.
Milk stand – serves blue milk and green milk, but they don’t actually have milk – it will be plant based and frozen, similar in consistency to a smoothie or milkshake. Blue Milk: Berry and melon flavors. Green Milk: Tropical and citrus flavors.
Kat Saka’s Kettle – Serving Outpost mix, a popcorn mix that will be spicy, sweet, and salty.
Coca-Cola beverages in unique bottles printed in Aurebesh will be available for purchase.

“Till the Spire” – just so you are prepared when you arrive at Galaxy’s Edge, they have a saying you should be familiar with. When you finish talking to someone on Batuu, instead of saying “goodbye” or “See you later” – the locals like to say “Till the Spire” – kind of a “Until I see you at Black Spire again”
So if you finish a conversation with a local, be sure to say “Till the Spire” as you leave!
