Star Wars Galaxy's Edge attractions get their official names and new ride footage revealed

By WDWMAGIC Staff · Saturday November 17, 2018 9:57am ET · "Star Wars Galaxy's Edge"

Disney Parks, Experiences and Consumer Products Chairman Bob Chapek just revealed the names of the two signature attractions set for Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge when it opens at the Disneyland Resort next summer and at the Walt Disney World Resort in fall 2019.

Guests can take the controls in one of three unique and critical roles aboard Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run. And on Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, guests can join an epic battle between the First Order and the Resistance – including a face-off with Kylo Ren himself.

And here is a new video showing footage from Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run Coming to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.

And this footage below of Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance was shot inside the actual attraction.

Oscar-winning composer John Williams is creating new and original Star Wars themes exclusively for the land. This video gives a preview of the all-new music, recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios

It really does look awesome.

It looks like everything that's highlighted green will be what each seat interacts with. You can see each side has a screen highlighted green that matches up with the screen featuring credits/score from the Solo special features.

And here's a new pic of the Falcon model. Looks like this is staging area construction, not on site at a park yet.

I don’t post much in this thread but have lurked since probably page 1. That photo of Chapek in the cockpit gave me goosebumps

Because he is a cold, unfeeling corporate executive? ;)
The Falcon attraction will be called Millennium Falcon Smugglers Run
The large Dark Ride will be called Rise of the Resistance
And Battle Escape will be called Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance.
Hear John William's theme for Galaxy's Edge + Construction video here!
Do we really need the name of the IP in these attraction names? "Star Wars" Rise of the Resistance...we know its a star wars attraction. Its in a land called "Star Wars" Galaxy Edge....Avatar: Flight of Passage. Pandora the World of Avatar.

It is tacky and unoriginal

So fall 2019 for WDW.

The flashing lights around the controls is interesting. Looks like that is how they will prompt the guest to hit a control.

Smuggler’s run is quite a good name. Rise of the Resistance is... not. It’s not particularly dynamic. You’d think they’d go with a verb like escape or pursuit or battle. Heck, Star Wars: Battle Escape is probably better.

Would you rather have "Star Wars Ride #1" and "Star Wars Ride #2"?...

Yeah how original... :rolleyes:
Attraction logos from the EW videos.
Will these rides have some variability to them? I’m getting massive Mission Space vibes from these attractions.
