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.

The ride allows visitors to pilot the Millennium Falcon!
Walt Disney World
Each guest is given a different job to perform on the Falcon, so some riders will be pilots, some gunners, and some engineers.
Walt Disney World 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.
Walt Disney World 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!

Best Theme Parks In Florida May 03, 2021 Lisa Sammons What are some of the best theme parks in Florida? Well, of course Florida is well-known for its many theme parks. Check out this list four eight parks you won’t want to miss! If your kids (or you) love dinosaurs, Dinosaur World is fantastic. And how about Renniger’s, a massive antique theme park? It’s a bargain hunter’s dream! What are some attractions in Florida? Besides theme parks, Florida’s got plenty to offer tourists. Bok Tower is so unusual that it looks like something straight out of Middle Earth. Obviously, we have plenty of beaches! We’ve even got Butterfly World, the planet’s largest butterfly garden. If you’re a fan of horses, you don’t have to go all the way to Kentucky - take a trail ride in Ocala! What are some unusual attractions in Florida? Let’s face it, we can be a little wacky here in the Sunshine State. Some of our attractions show that. Here’s a list of weird places you’ll want to check out, and don’t even think about missing Whimzeyland! No mention of strange oddities in Florida would be complete without recommending Ripley’s Believe It Or Not. The original museum is located in St. Augustine!
