Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opened on August 29th, 2019 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
So today marks the first year anniversary since we traveled to the planet of Batuu in a galaxy far far away. And just a few months after the big opening, guests had to opportunity to enjoy the super popular attraction Rise of the Resistance which debuted on December 5, 2019.
