This week, all eyes turned to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, where thousands of guests and cast members celebrated the opening of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is the largest and most technologically advanced single-themed land expansion ever in a Disney park. The 14-acre land transports guests to the remote planet of Batuu, full of unique sights, sounds, smells and tastes.
Here, guests can become part of their own Star Wars stories as they experience galactic food and beverages, craft their own lightsabers, build their own droids and much more.
