Over at Collider, Christina Radish treats us to 125 plus images from Galaxy’s Edge, giving us a pictorial tour of Disney’s huge new park expansion.
Batuu spans more than 14 acres and has been in development since 2014, with nine retail locations that contain 700 unique items and five food locations with 50 distinct items. You can spend your time just walking around and taking it all in, you can interact with some of the residents there and even grab a photo with Chewbacca or come face-to-face with Stormtroopers, you can pick up a drink at Oga’s Cantina where DJ R3X spins tunes, you can grab something to eat at Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo or Ronto Roasters where Droid 8D-J8 is turning the meat spit, you can build your own custom lightsaber or an R2-series or BB-series droid with personality chip, and you can find any number of smaller goods throughout the Marketplace Shops.
And it doesn’t end there. You can also queue up to fly the Millennium Falcon on the new ride Smugglers Run (as long as you’re 38 inches or taller, that is), which combines immersive storytelling with interactive gameplay, as you enter the cockpit in groups of six and become either a pilot who helps steer the ship, a gunner who defends the ship and its precious cargo, or a flight engineer who keeps the ship together during the mission.
Collider got the opportunity to preview this incredible new land, and took tons of photos of every nook and cranny, where there are many hidden gems from throughout the franchise.
It looks like she had an amazing time, bringing back some first class coverage of the park.
Exploring the galaxy since 1978, Mark wrote his first fan fiction in 1981 and been a presence online since his first webpage Fanta War in 1996. He's contributed to Star Wars Insider (since '06) and Starburst Magazine (since '16) as well as ILM.com, SkywalkerSound.com, StarWars.com, Star Wars Encyclopedia, Build The Millennium Falcon, Geeky Monkey, TV Film Memorabilia, Model and Collectors Mart, Star Trek magazine and StarTrek.com. He is a four-time Star Wars Celebration Stage host, the only podcaster to have appeared on every Celebration podcast stage since the stage began in 2015, the Daily Content Manager of Fantha Tracks and the co-host of Making Tracks, Canon Fodder and Start Your Engines on Fantha Tracks Radio.
