Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, Themed land in Lake Buena Vista, United States
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is a sprawling themed land in Lake Buena Vista, built around a remote outpost on the planet Batuu. The area mixes tall, jagged rock spires with low, flat-roofed buildings in grey and tan, while a large spacecraft rests near a fence between the structures and the rocky wall.
This land replaced a section of the park in the late 2010s, after years of planning to build a new story tied to the films. It opened in 2019 as the largest single themed expansion in the resort's history.
The land functions like a working village where visitors can watch mechanics repairing droids and pilots haggling over supplies. In the marketplace, the sound of alien languages and the smell of grilled food make the setting feel lived-in rather than like a stage.
The land has two entrances, one near the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run attraction and one near the Rise of the Resistance ride. The ground is mostly paved, but the outpost's design includes uneven surfaces and slopes. Restrooms are located near the market and the docking bay area.
The land's name, Batuu, is spoken by residents as their homeworld, and the outpost is called Black Spire Outpost after the petrified spires above it. The spacecraft parked behind the low brown fence is the Millennium Falcon, its round cockpit on the left and long rectangular body stretching right.
