Disneyland Star Wars Land Updates Beginning April 29, 2026
New storylines will be brought to life on Batuu, spanning multiple eras of the planet’s rich history. These updates will enable you to experience the Galactic Civil War and New Republic, as well as the Age of the Resistance and First Order.
Black Spire Outpost will roll back in time several decades, thoughtfully introducing beloved characters from across the Star Wars timeline, new props and graphics in some areas, musical selections from Star Wars film scores throughout the land and more. Each era will be brought to life with the same care and attention to detail that the land was originally designed with, masterfully weaving together stories from across time and space in one location.
Let’s take a look at what’s coming to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland!
Where You’ll Find Iconic Star Wars Saga Characters
Cue “The Imperial March.” Darth Vader’s search for Luke Skywalker will bring him to Batuu. This Sith Lord will be joined by Imperial Stormtroopers, and as they seek the elusive Jedi, they may find hints of the Force around the outpost.
Leia Organa and Han Solo will be reunited with Luke Skywalker and Chewbacca amid the rocky spires.
Luke Skywalker will roam the outpost seeking knowledge of the Force and artifacts related to lightsaber building, kyber crystals, and more.
Leia Organa may be spotted near the Millennium Falcon, where she’ll recruit travelers and locals to help keep Luke safe.
Han Solo also will linger around his prized ship, tempted by the local cantina.
These iconic heroes and villains of the Star Wars saga will join familiar faces you may see now in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
Encounter Ahsoka Tano and The Mandalorian and Grogu near the marketplace.
The beloved starship mechanic and fighter pilot’s assistant, R2-D2, will also continue to roll through the land.
The forested area on the outskirts of Black Spire Outpost will continue to represent a time inspired by the Age of the Resistance. You may find Rey around this Resistance camp, and if you’re bold enough, become a hero yourself in a climactic battle with the First Order aboard Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance.
Hear John Williams Music Throughout the Land
As you take in the towering remains of petrified trees that create the skyline of Batuu, you’ll be further transported into the world of Star Wars with the addition of beloved scores from legendary composer John Williams, pulling themes from the first six films.
Passing through the tunnels of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, the iconic “Main Title” and Force Theme will beckon you to a galaxy far, far away. As you wander through the land, you’ll hear motifs from other classic tracks including “Han Solo and the Princess,” “The Desert and the Robot Auction,” “The Emperor” and more.
And of course, the lively tune “Cantina Band” will be heard from within Oga’s Cantina. In the era of the Galactic Civil War, proprietor Oga Garra only recently opened this watering hole, which is already becoming a popular spot for intergalactic travelers.
Enhancements to Local Establishments and Shops
As Batuu’s history is represented with new storylines, you may notice some updates to buildings and shops throughout the land.
First Order Cargo will transform into Black Spire Surplus, a military salvage operation offering artifacts from across the history of the galaxy, including Imperial and Rebel items from the Galactic Civil War.
As antiquities shops often do, Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities will display a different array of one-of-a-kind items from its past. The curiosities and artifacts in his shop certainly change with the times.
An earlier generation of the Mubo family will operate Droid Depot, where they will be prototyping the BB style of droid. You’ll still have the opportunity to purchase and create your own droid companion at this shop.
In his search for information on lightsabers and the Force, Luke Skywalker will be interested in meeting with Savi. You may continue to have the opportunity to purchase and build your own lightsaber under the guidance of Savi’s Gatherers.
Plus, Favorite Star Wars Attractions, Entertainment, and Food
As the storyline of Batuu expands to encompass a broader selection of stories reflecting the planet’s rich history, you will still be able to enjoy some of your favorite galactic pastimes. From the cockpit of Han’s trusted ship, fly aboard Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run or sample favorite flavors from across the galaxy like blue milk and ronto wraps.
Watch as the spires of Batuu become a one-of-a-kind backdrop each night for the legendary story of the Skywalkers in the projection show “Shadows of Memory: A Skywalker Saga.” On select evenings, “Fire of the Rising Moons” showcases a unique view of the Disneyland park fireworks accompanied by iconic music and tales from across the galaxy.
Whether you’re walking the path of the light or dark side — or even just a traveler passing through this rich story — you won’t want to miss these updates that celebrate even more of the stories and characters Star Wars fans know and love. You may begin to see some of these enhancements appear in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland over the next couple months, before they officially debut on April 29, 2026.
