has opened its gates, and we’ve explored the planet of Batuu and its pock-marked village, Black Spire Outpost, to bring you the Ultimate Guide to this brand new land.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge

In the image we see hundreds of cast members in costumes designed to help them set the stage as Citizens of Batuu. (Click here to see Galaxy’s Edge costumes up close!)

Yeah, we want to go to there. 😉
