Disneyland Sets April 29 Galaxy’s Edge Timeline Expansion to Add Han, Leia, Luke and Vader

The park is shifting to a cross‑era setting to better match what longtime fans want.

Overview

  • Disney Parks detailed on Friday that the roster and placements will debut at Disneyland on April 29, with original‑trilogy encounters centered on the Millennium Falcon and sequel‑era activity near Rise of the Resistance.
  • The Falcon area will run in the classic‑film era, bringing Han Solo, Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca, R2‑D2 and Darth Vader with Imperial stormtroopers into Black Spire Outpost.
  • A first‑look video on Thursday showed Leia in a new white jumpsuit and brown vest inspired by Hoth designs, with appearances planned near the Falcon alongside R2‑D2.
  • The Han Solo reveal clip on Wednesday drew mixed reactions online, with some fans excited for the addition and others criticizing the likeness and wig in the costume.
  • The update adds John Williams’ movie music throughout the land at Disneyland’s version of Galaxy’s Edge, not the Florida park at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
