Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge - our preview opinion

[Hypnobabe]

So we did our annual pass preview on Tuesday. The new land is pretty amazing and the theming very realistic - it was great to have that WOW feeling walking around from the first time. Seemed very much based on newer Star Wars but then I’m not an expert.

Firstly - the Millennium Falcon ride. It’s kind of in the Spider-Man style from universal but very interactive - you work as a team of six 2 pilots, 2 gunners and 2 engineers and it reacts to the mistakes you make and kind of scores you by how much money you make at the end of it. Personally thought the pilot position was the most fun - especially when you hit light speed. - but children seemed to enjoy being a gunner the most as they get to almost continually shoot things. The engineer was my least favourite position - just a note- that seemed to be the position you were most likely to get as a single rider. The walk in for the first time is not a waste of time as it’s all new stuff to look at. The ride is bumpier if you have bad pilots - no less fun tho

Lots of choice for shops - mostly there are small ones in the market and one big one where you can make your own droid for $99.99! I think you can also build your own light saber but we didn’t see that. Loads of photo opps for the memory maker (I can upload if you like but didn’t want to spoil it for you).

We tried the nearly $9 slushy blue milk - we didn’t like it - none of us! It may be better with the alcohol in it - still not sure that would improve it tbh.

My girls liked the animated toys you could buy but it was our last day and we’d spent up.

We enjoyed being immersed in the theme - the CMs outfits were pretty great too.
