Disney4me Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Just last week, the opening seasons were officially confirmed for Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland (Summer 2019) and Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World (late Fall 2019). Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge And tonight in Hollywood Studios, guests at the Star Wars: Galactic Nights event were treated to a panel discussion featuring Walt Disney Imagineers who are working hard behind the scenes (down to visiting film sets for inspiration) to make the planet of Batuu a reality for all of us traveling to Disney World’s Star Wars Land — Galaxy’s Edge — starting next year! Entrance to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge (and a busy construction scene behind) The excitement poured out over Twitter and over on Disney Parks Blog, with attendees sharing a few details about what we can expect in the new Land on both coasts. For instance, life-sized AT-ATs (along with life sized ships) will be found on Black Spire Outpost. AT-AT What, exactly is Black Spire Outpost? THAT’S the village that we will all be able to set foot on in Batuu! “This is the location where your adventure will begin…” Black Spire Outpost on Batuu ©Disney/Lucasfilm Disney has also shared that Black Spire Outpost is the largest settlement on Batuu, and is an “infamous stop for traders, adventurers, and smugglers traveling around the Outer Rim and Wild Space.” What were once towering trees now stand as spires comprised of the petrified remains… hence, the Black Spire Outpost.

And if YOU have a certain favorite creature from the Star Wars universe, you might be able to purchase one to take home with you from the Creature Stall… where Star Wars creatures come to life! This will be in addition to the Toydarian we learned about previously, who will sell handcrafted toys made by local artisans in the village.

And even though we won’t be able to set foot on this new planet in the Star Wars universe until next year, I’m pretty pumped by all the fun things we’re learning along the way! And if you are, too, you’ll want to stick with us to hear all the details as we get closer and closer to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge!
