The attractions will transport guests to a never-before-seen planet, a remote trading port and one of the last stops before wild space where Star Wars characters and their stories come to life. These authentic lands will have two signature attractions including the ability to take the controls of one of the most recognizable ships in the galaxy, the Millennium Falcon, on a customized secret mission and an epic Star Wars adventure that puts guests in the middle of a climactic battle.

But that doesn't mean that it stints on glimpses of cool battles, Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew) shooting first and asking questions later, and Guatemalan-American actor Oscar Isaac telling his fellow rebel pilots, “All teams, give it everything you got!”
The movie stars newbies to the franchise including Isaac, Daisy Ridley and John Boyega, as well as veterans Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker and Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia.
