We visited Disney World at the end of January (before this Virus Pandemic hit the USA) and spent one day at Star Wars Galaxy's Edge at Disney World's Hollywood Studios. The setting is the Black Spire Outpost village on the frontier planet Batuu. I finally got around to uploading a bunch of pictures from the land.
The land opened up to the public August 2019 and contains several shops, a couple of really cool attractions, restaurants, and some nice entertainment. The time period is set between Episode 8: The Last Jedi and Episode 9: Rise of Skywalker, so both the First Order and the Resistance has presence in the Batuu.
I took a bunch of pictures of Galaxy's Edge as well as a few of Rise of the Resistance - so if you don't want to spoil yourself as to what is in this new addition to Disney World, or in my opinion, the best non-roller coaster attraction ever created, I would hesitate to look at these pictures. But, hey, amidst this Pandemic, who knows when Disney World/Land will open again, so look at the pictures!
Anyways, here they are...
