Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opened at Hollywood Studios on August 29th 2019. It’s a totally unique and immersive experience like no other. It’s the largest and most technologically advanced single-themed land expansion ever in a Disney park.
Welcome to the Edge of Wild Space: Black Spire Outpost on Batuu.
Batuu is a far-flung destination along the galaxy’s Outer Rim, located between Unknown Regions and the Frontier of Wild Space. This remote outpost on the galaxy’s edge was once a busy crossroads along the old sub-lightspeed trade routes. Its prominence was bypassed by the rise of hyperspace travel.
Today, Batuu is home to Black Spire Outpost, an infamous port for smugglers, traders and adventurers traveling between the frontier and uncharted space. It’s a convenient safe haven for those intent on avoiding the ever expanding reach of the First Order.
The modern village was built on the remains of crumbling structures by a long-extinct civilization. The landscape is dominated by the petrified remains of towering ancient black spire trees.
As you stroll through this thriving port, you might encounter some familiar faces, from Rey, Finn and Poe to BB-8 and Chewie.
Two Attractions Bring Star Wars Adventures to Life

You could be a pilot, a gunner or flight engineer. There will be multiple ways to experience this attraction.

Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance places you right in the middle of the Rebellion. You’ll play an active role in the fight against the First Order.
