A long time ago in a galaxy far,
far away …
It is a dark time for the RESISTANCE. Following the devastating
Battle of Crait, the freedom fighters have fled with General Leia
Organa to an undisclosed location.
Meanwhile, hunted by the FIRST ORDER and Supreme Leader Kylo Ren, a
band of Resistance supporters has established a temporary outpost on
the remote planet of Batuu, thanks to scouting by Resistance spy Vi
Moradi.
Here on the Outer Rim, the Resistance is rebuilding and searching
for recruits to join the cause and help save the galaxy from tyranny

Open at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida and
opening Jan. 17, 2020, at Disneyland Park in California, Star Wars:
Rise of the Resistance sets a new standard for what a Disney theme
park experience can be, as guests become heroes of the Resistance in
a climactic battle with the First Order. In one of the most
immersive, ambitious and technologically advanced attractions ever
created for a Disney park, guests launch into space aboard a
transport shuttle, only to be captured by a Star Destroyer and
pursued by Supreme Leader Kylo Ren as they frantically search for a
way to escape the clutches of the First Order.
This new attraction inside Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge draws guests
into a sprawling Star Wars narrative that blurs the lines between
fantasy and reality, as jaw-dropping sights brimming with vivid
detail create surprises around every turn. In one of the longest
Disney attraction experiences ever, Star Wars: Rise of the
Resistance delivers thrilling action driven by cutting-edge
technology and innovative design that gives guests the feeling of
stepping inside a Star Wars film.
Join the
Resistance |
- Guests exploring Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
find the Resistance’s temporary encampment in the forested area
along the outskirts of Black Spire Outpost on Batuu.
- The gateway to the encampment is marked by a
large turret. From there, a pathway leads deeper into the forest
toward towering cliffs and the crumbling remains of an ancient
civilization. Guests weave through low stone walls, timeworn
pillars and tight corridors as they progress farther into the
base, hearing military communications chatter along the way.
- In a makeshift briefing room, Rey – a hero of
the cause – appears via holo-transmission alongside dutiful
droid BB-8 to welcome the new Resistance recruits. She shares a
plan to reunite with General Leia Organa at an off-planet
location that must be kept secret from the First Order.
- Guests then board a nearby Intersystem
Transport Ship (I-TS) and have to make their rendezvous quickly
to avoid a First Order Star Destroyer on its way to Batuu. They
should have a bad feeling about this …

An All-Encompassing Attraction
Experience |
- Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance throws out
the rulebook for traditional attraction design, eschewing and/or
blending industry notions such as “queue,” “preshow” and “ride”
to create a seamless, holistic experience full of rich details
and breathtaking excitement on a cinematic scale.
- When guests board the I-TS, they’ll feel as
if they’re lifting off the surface of Batuu and blasting into
space alongside Poe Dameron in his signature black-painted
X-wing starfighter, Black One.
- Before the I-TS can make the jump to
lightspeed, it’s caught in the tractor beam of a Star Destroyer
and pulled into a massive hangar bay.
- Guests make their escape from the Star
Destroyer aboard eight-passenger First Order Fleet Transports
piloted by reprogrammed R5-series astromech droids.
- The attraction features grand set pieces –
including the hangar bay that is filled with 50 menacing
stormtroopers and a docked TIE fighter. At various points,
guests dodge blaster bolts from stormtroopers and AT-AT walkers,
scurry past huge turbolaser cannons, and stumble into the Star
Destroyer’s bridge.
- Throughout their journey, guests are hunted
by Kylo Ren, who uses the Force in an attempt to pry from their
minds the location of General Organa’s secret base. Guests feel
Ren’s tremendous malevolent power as they narrowly avoid his
attacks.
