Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge — Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is a 14-acre land in Walt Disney World’s Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The land, which is comprised of the village of Black Spire Outpost on the planet Batuu, opened on August 29, 2019.

The land features five eating/drinking establishments serving up intergalactic-inspired dishes and drinks. It also offers several merchandise locations themed to the land and to the stories of the Star Wars franchise. The land also features two popular, inspired attractions and spontaneous character meet-and-greets.
Galaxy’s Edge was described by Disney as the most immersive and ambitious project to date, and that immersion has come to fruition. Here we take you through the logistics of a visit to Black Spire Outpost.

Attractions and Character Experiences

Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run

Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run opened with the land in August 2019 as the only attraction in the land’s first phase. Smugglers Run is an interactive simulator in which six riders work in tandem as Pilots, Flight Engineers, and Gunners.

The outcome of the ride experience becomes attached to your presence in the land, with “citizens of Batuu” being able to interact with guests based on how they performed on the ride.

Queues for Smugglers Run

Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run regularly posts wait times over an hour. It began utilizing the FastPass+ system in February 2019, and a Single Rider line is also available.

Rise of the Resistance

Rise of the Resistance, Disney’s most ambitious attraction ever, opened in the land’s second phase on December 5, 2019. Rise of the Resistance calls on riders to join the Resistance, taking them to a rebel base from which they will serve the cause.

Rise of the Resistance Hangar Bay

The journey to the rebel base goes awry, and soon the newest members of the Resistance are captured by the First Order. After encounters with Stormtroopers, General Hux, At-At walkers, and Kylo Ren, the ride comes to a dramatic conclusion.

When Rise of the Resistance opened, it used a Boarding Pass/Virtual Queue system to manage crowds. Read more about it here.

Character Opportunities

Black Spire Outpost is a working village in the Star Wars galaxy, and as such, there are no set character meet-and-greets. Rather, guests will stumble upon characters living their lives in the land. Characters guests may encounter include Rey, Chewbacca, R2-D2, Stormtroopers, and Kylo Ren.

Chewbacca

Kylo Ren and a group of Stormtroopers do have a small show (really just a reveal) when they emerge from a TIE Echelon in the First Order area of the land. Rey, Chewie, and resistance members can be seen in the Market or Resistance areas of the land.

Dining

Docking Bay 7 Food & Cargo

Docking Bay is the land’s only true Quick Service restaurant. Complete with seating in cargo containers and on cargo vessels, the menu here features familiar foods with intergalactically-inspired names.

Our favorites include the Fried Endorian Tip-Yip and the Bright Suns Breakfast Platter featuring pork sausage and a sweet Mustafarian Lava Roll.

Ronto Roasters

Ronto Roasters serves up roasted ronto meat — seen on turning on the spit beneath a podracer engine, of all things. The Ronto Wrap is one of the best things to eat in Black Spire Outpost.

This walk-up Quick Service restaurant does not have a dedicated seating area, so the hand-helds are good to grab-and-go. Some outdoor seating is available nearby but is not reserved for Ronto Roasters guests.

Kat Saka’s Kettle

Kat Saka’s Kettle sells popcorn in a couple different flavors. You’ll always find the Outpost Mix, a sweet/spicy mix of colorful popped corn. You may also find other varieties. This is a good spot to pick up your Galaxy’s Edge-themed thermal detonator Coke bottles.

Milk Stand

For fans looking to try the infamous Blue Milk and the more recently famous Green Milk, Milk Stand is a must. The non-dairy milk concoctions are soft-frozen (like a smooth slush) and feature fruity flavors. Though not universally beloved, they’re still fun to try! At Disney World’s Milk Stand, older guests can get their Milks spiked, too!

Spiked Blue and Green Milk

Oga’s Cantina

This fun, must-see cantina is packed with franchise references — and tasty, mostly-fruity drinks! Try the Fuzzy Tauntaun that turns your lips numb, or opt for a Black Spire Outpost-exclusive beer!
