The Bearded Trio

I was able to wander through Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge for the first time on August 28 and September 3. In my last post I wrote about my general impressions of the land. Here, I will go into detail about my experiences on Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run and Rise of the Resistance. Rise has gained quite a reputation in its short life as a vexing attraction. The ride experiences frequent breakdowns, and infamously, was recently and literally struck by lightning . RISE OF THE RESISTANCE First off, here's how you get your spot in the virtual queue: Get into Disney's Hollywood Studios by 10 a.m., or "rope drop."

Take A Ride With The Resistance At Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge Strap yourself in and take a ride on the awesome  Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance ride from Galaxy's Edge.  You ride with a re-programmed R5 astromech droid and be prepared to see Kylo Ren, a Probe Droid and even an At-At that fires at you.  Bek narrates throughout who is voiced by James Arnold Taylor.  The video has some rather interesting behind-the-scenes facts on the ride.  Unfortunately someone decided these would be best right in the middle of the screen obscuring some of the action going on.  Fear not, for although this is an official video we have also included an 18-minute video that a helpful fan recorded on their camera and it's POV too complete with the crowd ambience.  Enjoy!
