"Disneyland is rejecting modernity and embracing tradition, at least as far as Star Wars is concerned. According to the Los Angeles Times, characters from the original trilogy will start wandering Galaxy's Edge, and John Williams' score will replace the ambient spaceport noises piped throughout the land. So it's 'til the spires to immersive worldbuilding, bright suns to getting selfies with your favorite guys from childhood."
"Previously, the company was very invested in setting Galaxy's Edge in a particular time and place - Black Spire Outpost on the planet Batuu, between Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi and Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker. Now, to borrow a phrase from a different sci-fi franchise, Imagineering is getting timey-wimey with the chronology. Han will be posted up by the Milennium Falcon"
Disneyland is retooling Galaxy's Edge to favor classic Star Wars elements over strict chronology. Original-trilogy characters will appear in the land and John Williams' score will replace ambient spaceport audio. Galaxy's Edge was previously anchored to Black Spire Outpost on Batuu between The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker, but Imagineering is loosening timeline constraints. Han is slated near the Milennium Falcon, Luke will appear in the marketplace, and Darth Vader will make appearances. The broader Star Wars franchise faces uneven reception and canceled projects, including a shelved standalone Kylo Ren film, prompting a shift toward nostalgia-driven, broadly appealing experiences.
