Classic Star Wars Characters Added to Disneyland's Galaxy’s Edge

On April 29, 2026, Disneyland Resort transformed its popular Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge into a multi-era experience.

Previously limited to the sequel trilogy timeline, the land now invites iconic characters like Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia, and Darth Vader to roam Black Spire Outpost.

This shift moves away from a singular moment in time, allowing fans to enjoy a broader celebration of the Star Wars legacy.

The immersive atmosphere is enhanced by a new soundscape featuring John Williams’ legendary scores from the original films.

Additionally, shops have been rebranded to offer merchandise from across the entire saga.

By listening to fan feedback, Disney has evolved the park from a strict, in-continuity environment into a more flexible space.

This update marks a significant step toward a more inclusive, multi-generational storytelling approach for visitors.
