Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge
What is Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge?
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is a 14-acre immersive land located inside Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California. When you enter, you step directly into Black Spire Outpost on the remote Outer Rim planet of Batuu. This planet is an infamous haven for smugglers, rogue traders, First Order stormtroopers, and Resistance fighters.
Unlike traditional theme park lands, Galaxy’s Edge is completely in-story. From the themed dining to the authentic interactions with village residents, every detail is crafted to place you inside the Star Wars universe.

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Rides & Attractions
Galaxy’s Edge features two revolutionary attractions that put you right in the middle of the action.

Step right inside the cockpit of the most famous starship in the galaxy. Groups of six take on real-time flight controls with assigned roles: Pilots (front row), Gunners (middle row), and Engineers (back row). Your performance directly affects the ride experience!
- Single Rider: Available! A great way to skip long wait times, though your party will be split up and assigned open seats (usually Gunner or Engineer). Read my full Millennium Falcon Ride Guide for seating and line strategy.
- Lightning Lane: Included with Lightning Lane Multi Pass.
2. Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance
This massive, multi-system attraction places you in a daring battle between the Resistance and Kylo Ren’s First Order. It features trackless vehicles, drop towers, audio-animatronics, and live actors.

Rider Switch & Accessibility Options
