Marking a momentous occasion, the iconic Jedi Master, Luke Skywalker, debuted within Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. We met up with him on the first day of Season of the Force.
“Shadows of Memory: A Skywalker Saga,” a new nightly projection show, launches with Season of the Force and will continue thereafter. The spires of Batuu, adjacent to the Millennium Falcon, become a canvas for projection effects, narrating the Skywalker saga with accompanying, unforgettable musical themes.
On select evenings, the breathtaking “Fire of the Rising Moons” returns, celebrating galactic heroes with a spectacular fireworks display over Batuu. Accompanied by John Williams’ iconic Star Wars scores, the show can be enjoyed from prime viewing locations like the Black Spire Spaceport, the TIE Echelon docking platform, and the speeder garage.
For a thrilling Star Wars experience, Space Mountain undergoes its annual transformation into Hyperspace Mountain, immersing riders in a high-velocity dogfight between Rebel X-wings and Imperial TIE fighters.
Star Tours – The Adventures Continue expands its universe, offering over 250 unique storyline possibilities, now including a journey to Seatos from “Ahsoka.” Expect dynamic transmissions from iconic characters like Ahsoka Tano, Cassian Andor, Din Djarin, and Grogu, adding unexpected twists to your adventure.
To fully embrace the Season of the Force, take control of the Millennium Falcon in Smugglers Run or join the Resistance’s fight against the First Order in the epic Rise of the Resistance.
