food IS a theme park
Disneyland just got a massive upgrade! In case you missed it, the West Coast Galaxy’s Edge is shaking up its timeline to include characters and music from the original trilogy!
It’s Darth Vader!
This comes with a lot of fun changes, but we’re most excited for the characters. We met so many never-before-seen characters from A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, and the rest of the Star Wars universe today!
In these trying times, we all need something to give us some joy. And this little guy just restored my faith in humanity.

In a recent interview to promote the upcoming The Mandalorian and Grogu film, movie stars Pedro Pascal and Grogu sat down with Star Wars to take a friendship test. Let’s just say their friendship was definitely tested!
Disneyland’s Star Wars area is getting a massive upgrade! Galaxy’s Edge is a Star Wars-themed land on both the East and West Coasts, and they’ve been very similar. You’ll explore Black Spire Outpost on the planet of Batuu that the First Order has overtaken. You can meet Kylo Ren and his Stormtroopers, ride the Millennium Falcon with Chewbacca, and help Finn, Rey, and the Rebel Alliance take down the First Order. Both lands have been set during the sequel trilogy – until now!
Disneyland’s Galaxy’s Edge
While Galaxy’s Edge in Disney World will stay the same, the West Coast’s Disneyland area will be completely rethemed to be set during the original trilogy. This means new characters from “A New Hope,” “The Empire Strikes Back,” and “Return of the Jedi” will be roaming around the park. But how will these changes impact the characters currently in Galaxy’s Edge?
