Disneyland Sets April Launch for Multi‑Era Star Wars Overhaul as Key Galaxy’s Edge Sites Close

The park pivots from a single‑era experiment to a character‑first format rooted in the original films’ icons.

Overview

  • Beginning April 29, Disneyland will expand Galaxy’s Edge to host multiple Star Wars eras, with Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia, and Darth Vader joining the lineup as Kylo Ren patrols exit the streets.
  • Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance closed January 20 for an extended refurbishment with no reopening date announced by Disneyland.
  • Oga’s Cantina also shut on January 20 for at least six weeks to add updates tied to the new timeline, including the original film’s Cantina Band track and a revised backstory.
  • Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run will debut a new mission on May 22 featuring The Mandalorian and Grogu, placing the land’s two attractions in different time frames.
  • Galaxy’s Edge will add John Williams’ classic scores to its soundscape, rebrand First Order Cargo as Black Spire Surplus, and tie the update to the Echoes of the Empire comic on April 22, with Walt Disney World set to adopt similar changes later.
