Star Wars Galaxy's Edge: 59 Photos From Disney's New Theme Park Expansion
In a corner of Disneyland far, far away.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge has officially opened at California's Disneyland and Florida's Walt Disney Work. As such, it's an exciting time to be a Star Wars fan. It’s also tough, though, because there’s so much to see and, leading up to the opening, little had been shown from what's truly a dream world for fans.
GameSpot has visited the planet Batuu, and we'd love to tell you the tale of our visit. We were able to attend a preview of Disneyland's Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and learn so much about what to expect, mere days before it opened to the public at the end of May. We also took many photos to document what is truly a massive and impressive addition to the Disneyland experience. There are ships, the cantina, droids--even the bathrooms are unique.
Take a look at the sights that Batuu’s Black Spire Outpost has to offer and then check out our in-depth look at everything Galaxy's Edge has to offer. That includes a look at the Star Wars-themed food and drinks available for sale (yes, of course there's blue milk) and the super-expensive droid you can buy if you've got a whopping $25,000 to drop in between checking out the various attractions. Fortunately, there's plenty of other cool Star Wars merchandise to buy if your budget is a bit more modest.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is now open at Disneyland and Walt Disney World. All of this comes ahead of the conclusion of the current movie trilogy and the Skywalker saga; Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker releases in theaters this December.
Disneyland's Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is surprisingly massive.
