"In a shift from its original ambitions, the land will no longer be primarily set in the time period of the recent "Star Wars" sequels. That means modern villain Kylo Ren will be out, at least as a walk-around character, while so-called "classic" characters such as Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia Organa will make their way into the fictional galactic town of Black Spire Outpost."
"It was to be a place of living theater, where events unfolded in real time. That tone will now shift, as while the in-land radio station won't go away, Disneyland will soon broadcast composer John Williams' "Star Wars" orchestrations throughout the area. The changes are set to fully take effect April 29, although Disney has stated some tweaks may roll out earlier."
"They also mark a significant tweak from the intent of the land, which was designed as an active, play-focused area that broke free from traditional theme park trappings - character meet and greets, passive rides and Mickey-shaped balloons. Instead of music, guests heard radio broadcasts and chatter, as the goal was to make Black Spire Outpost feel rugged and lived-in."
Disneyland's Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge will shift its timeline focus away from the recent sequel era and introduce classic characters such as Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia. Kylo Ren will no longer appear as a walk-around character. The changes are currently specific to Disneyland and are not planned for Walt Disney World. The land's original design emphasized living theater, interactive play, and ambient radio chatter rather than orchestral music and traditional character meet-and-greets. Disneyland will begin broadcasting John Williams' Star Wars orchestrations throughout Black Spire Outpost, and some adjustments will take full effect on April 29.
