Now you can say “We have Star Wars land at home” as a new walkthrough has dropped on Disney+ of Galaxy’s Edge complete with one ride POV experience for Star Wars fans. All that’s missing are stops at the shops like Dok Ondar’s Den of Antiquities, where we have lately been short credits to buy some legacy lightsabers.
Exploring the Black Spire Outpost without it being packed with tourists is so different than most of the videos online. What makes it so delightfully zen is that the video of the Batuu POV goes on with its soundscapes and evening lighting. And there’s of course some encounters with characters along the way. You’ll find Rey and Chewie by the Millennium Falcon encouraging you to to stand against Kylo Ren and the First Order which sets up the video’s final note of evil Ben Solo encouraging you to “turn against the light.” Also featured in the video are the Mandalorian and Grogu, driving the point that there is no longer a fixed timeline at Galaxy’s Edge and you never know who you’ll meet along the way.
Also added onto Disney Plus is a full POV of Rise of the Resistance, the E-ticket attraction at Galaxy’s Edge. And yes Oscar Issac’s Poe Dameron makes an appearance to call you a “fine looking” recruit, and since you’re the only one in the room you know he means it. The details of the queue are passed over a little quickly but you get to see more of the resistance base details here than you do on the ride.
It’s fun and once you hop onto the ride vehicle it’s great to be in the action and ride along. Pull up a rolling office chair and you can add some 4D thrills at home. Check out the preview of it below and watch the full versions on Disney+ this Revenge of the Fifth (of May).
