First Look Inside Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

[Stu]

the highly anticipated attraction Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge will open on 5 December at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Florida.

When it opens, this harrowing adventure will blur the lines between fantasy and reality and will put you in the middle of a climactic battle between the First Order and the Resistance.

You will join the Resistance and depart from Batuu in a transport ship to meet General Leia Organa at a secret rendezvous point. Along the way, however, you will be captured by a First Order Star Destroyer.

The action then ramps up as you seek to escape the clutches of Kylo Ren and the First Order – with the help of some heroes of the Resistance.

Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance will be one of the most ambitious, advanced and immersive experiences ever undertaken by Walt Disney Imagineering. The attraction is also one of the largest Disney has ever created. Its massive show building is a world unto itself, housing two full-size AT-AT walkers and a Star Destroyer hangar bay – complete with a TIE fighter and a garrison of Stormtroopers – plus more thrills and surprises.

Can't wait, bit bummed it's not going to be open when we go in November although I'm hoping against hope for a soft opening!

I've said all along this will be amazing using some of the Shanghai Pirates' tech and a new trackless system. The queue (picture above is effectively the pre shows as I understand it) will also be on another level.
There's also a video doing the rounds showing some of the ride, I think its a realistic portrayal.
This is what will save Galaxys Edge from being a flop.
Just hope I can secure access at Christmas.
