From groundbreaking technology to meticulous details in every corner, this behind-the-scenes exploration will reveal the engineering marvels and creative genius that power this must-do ride at Walt Disney World and Disneyland.

Whether you’re a die-hard Star Wars fan or simply crave immersive adventures, this journey will deepen your appreciation for the artistry and innovation that define the magic of Disney’s Imagineers. Get ready to discover the untold story behind Rise of the Resistance (ROTR)!

Unveiling the Inspiration Behind Humble Design

Imagine stepping into a Star Wars adventure unlike any other. That’s the magic of Batuu, a new planet crafted by Disney Imagineers specifically for YOU to explore. Forget following pre-determined storylines – Batuu is your blank canvas, a place where you and your crew can forge your own galactic destiny.

To bring this vision to life, Imagineers embarked on a global quest for inspiration. Vibrant locations like Turkey and Morocco offered a treasure trove of ideas. Their bustling street markets, intricate stonework, and weathered textures became the foundation for Black Spire Outpost, the heart of Batuu.

The aesthetic leans heavily on a pre-1980s feel, mirroring the timeless technology of the Star Wars universe. Exposed wiring and a palette of earthy tones further immerse you in this lived-in, authentic world.

Fun Fact: Batuu’s Galaxy’s Edge holds the title of largest single-themed land expansion in the history of both Walt Disney World and Disneyland!

Exploring the Setting of Rise of the Resistance

Strap in, Resistance recruit! The thrilling adventure of Rise of the Resistance isn’t just a ride – it’s a bridge between the blockbuster films Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

This immersive experience throws you right into the heart of the conflict, set during a pivotal moment in the galactic struggle. The seamless collaboration between Lucasfilm and Walt Disney Imagineering design teams ensures the story you experience fits perfectly within the Star Wars saga. Get ready to join the fight against the First Order in a way that feels ripped straight from the silver screen!

Star Wars Actors Reprised their Roles

Disney collaborated with the iconic actors from the sequel trilogy to reprise their roles for this groundbreaking attraction. Rey, Kylo Ren, Finn, Poe Dameron, and General Hux are all brought back to life by the very actors who made them legends: Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, and Domhnall Gleeson. These thrilling new scenes were filmed specifically for Rise of the Resistance, creating a truly immersive experience.

But the magic goes even deeper. These scenes were filmed concurrently with the production of The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker! Since the ride takes place between those two movies, this brilliant foresight ensures the experience seamlessly blends with the cinematic timeline. The result? An unparalleled opportunity to step into the Star Wars universe and fight alongside (or against) the iconic characters you know and love.

How does it work?

Ever wonder how Rise of the Resistance whisks you from ship to Star Destroyer? It’s a secret weapon: a high-tech turntable disguised as a spaceship launch! This “Lazy Susan” rotates 3 ITS vehicles: loading new recruits, thrilling riders in “hyperspace,” and unloading at the Star Destroyer. Brilliant!

18 Seamless Scenes: A Captivating Ride Through Rise of the Resistance

Prepare to be amazed! Rise of the Resistance isn’t just a ride, it’s a captivating story with a whopping 18 unique scenes! But the true marvel is how seamlessly these scenes flow together. You’ll feel like you’ve truly been transported into the heart of a Star Destroyer.

The secret lies in meticulous design. No matter where you look, the immersive experience surrounds you in 360 degrees. You won’t find any distracting backstage areas – just the awe-inspiring presence of the Star Destroyer itself. Get ready to be fully immersed in this galactic adventure!

A Thrilling Finale

Hold on tight! The finale of Rise of the Resistance throws you into a heart-pounding escape sequence that blends three ride systems into one unforgettable experience.

Imagine a trackless vehicle – think cars without tracks – seamlessly merging with a motion simulator like the Star Tours pods. Now, picture that whole contraption plummeting down a drop shaft, similar to the Tower of Terror’s freefall.

This ingenious combination doesn’t just launch you into an escape pod; it simulates a gravity-defying plunge through space before a (hopefully) smooth crash landing back on Batuu. Get ready for a finale that will leave you breathless!
