Some HUGE changes are coming to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland, and it’s going to change your entire experience in that part of the park.
The timeline for Batuu is shifting to include ALL timelines in the Star Wars universe, including the timeline in the original trilogy of movies. That means you’ll soon be able to see characters like Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Darth Vader in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Princess Leia will also be coming to the land, too, and now we have a first look at her!
Disneyland just dropped a first look at Princess Leia as she’ll be appearing in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Now, her outfit might seem unfamiliar, but Disney decided to change things up and give her an outfit based on what she wore in the 2015 comic book series Star Wars Battlefront. And, honestly, we think this outfit is perfect for wandering around dusty Batuu.
You’ll be able to spot Princess Leia near the Millennium Falcon, where she’ll be recruiting Rebels to help with the Rebellion and to keep Luke Skywalker safe. Here’s a full look at Leia in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge:
We previously got a first look at Han Solo, who will also be hanging around the Millennium Falcon. Other characters include Luke Skywalker, who will be roaming Batuu, Chewbacca, and Darth Vader, who will be walking around the outpost with Stormtroopers to hunt down any remaining Jedi.
These changes will be coming to Disneyland’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge on April 29th, so if you’re interested in seeing these characters, mark your calendars! Also, remember that the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run ride will also be changing on May 22nd with a new mission and new scenes, plus a new role for the Engineer! This change will be coming to both Disneyland and Disney World.
We’ll keep an eye out for these characters once they appear and keep you updated, so stay tuned to DFB for more.
