MAJOR Changes Are Coming to Disneyland's Galaxy's Edge in ONE Month

While we often talk about how much is going on in Disney World, that’s not to say that there aren’t tons of changes and construction going on over at Disneyland Resort as well!

Disneyland’s Galaxy’s Edge

Downtown Disney is getting multiple new spots, Disney is currently working on the Avengers Campus expansion and Avatar Land coming to Disney California Adventure, but there are also some changes coming sooner than those large new additions. Starting on April 29th, just one month away, one of Disneyland Park’s most popular lands will be changing MAJORLY!

Beginning April 29th, Disney has said that Galaxy’s Edge will usher in a “new point in the Star Wars saga like never before.” The biggest change? The timeline is shifting, which will mean that guests can experience characters and storylines from Star Wars films and TV shows from the past few DECADES, all in one place.

Characters and storylines from The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, The Mandalorian, and Ahsoka, among many others, will be included in the land, which also means guests will be able to enjoy and experience the Galactic Civil War, the New Republic, the Age of the Resistance, and the First Order in just one day.

We already know that Darth Vader is coming to the land full-time, and you’ll see him walking around with Stormtroopers in an attempt to hunt down the remaining Jedi, which means you’ll also get to see Princess Leia Organa (near the Millennium Falcon), Han Solo (also near the Millennium Falcon), Luke Skywalker (roaming the outpost), and Chewbacca throughout the land.

Don’t worry, though, because you’ll still be able to see Ahsoka Tano, the Mandalorian, and Grogu over near the Marketplace. R2-D2 will also continue to roll around near the Droid Depot and the garage, while Rey will be able to be found at the Resistance Camp.

There are also big audio changes coming to the land that we’re looking forward to — starting on April 29th, you’ll also be able to hear John Williams’ iconic Star Wars scores as you travel throughout the land. You may hear “Main Title” and/or “Force Theme” as you enter, and “Han Solo and the Princess,” “The Desert and the Robot Auction,” or perhaps “The Emperor” as you walk around. Of course, you’ll hear “Cantina Band” inside Oga’s Cantina!

Additionally, the First Order Cargo shop will transform into Black Spire Surplus, which will be a military salvage operation with artifacts from across the history of the galaxy. This will be where you can find “relics” themed after both the Empire and the Rebel Alliance from the Galactic Civil War.

Dok Ondar’s Den of Antiquities will also get some adjustments, beginning to display a different array of one-of-a-kind items from its past, and an earlier generation of the Mubo family will begin operating the Droid Depot on April 29th as well.

Currently, these changes are only slated for Disneyland, not Disney World, so it’ll make the two lands VERY different from each other — you’ll be able to have a whole different experience depending on which one you visit! We’ll be in the parks on the day of the changes to bring you all the details, so be sure to stay tuned to DFB.
