As of today at Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland, Star Wars Fans can meet Master Luke Skywalker in Batuu. His arrival is the last evolution in the canon of the theme park, which had once been limited to the period of time between Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Star Wars: Skywalker’s emergence.
The change in that original timeline came gradually in recent years, since the figures of Disney+ Lucasfilm have appeared in Batuu, incuding Ahsoka, Boba Fett, Fennec Shand, Sabine Wren and Hera. And, of course, Mandalorian and Grogu have had a great presence in the parks due to the demand for fans of characters outside the sequel trilogy.
IO9 attended the opening of the strength season 2025: Disneyland’s annual Star Wars Celebration, which now extends until May 11, and spoke with Matt Martin de Lucasfilm and Michael Serna by Disney Live Entertainment to discuss how the history of the advanced post of the black needle will evolve from here.
“We observe all our lands and experience as an evolution,” Serna shared. “Some things come and go, they are open, the attractions come and go. So, of course, Galaxy’s advantage is going through the same trip; [it] It evolves, and when we build Galaxy’s advantage, we didn’t even know that some of these stories would be told. So, as time has grown, we realized, who does not love Mandalorian history, who does not love several different stories? So this is an opportunity for us to bow in those stories that we know that our fans love and admire, without getting away from anything we have done before. Sometimes you’ll see something you love and sometimes. Our goal is to reach as many fans as possible and deliver all those incredible characters and experiences that people expect from our parks. “
That change will be defined more this year, and everything begins with the Lore Weaver Tohan Lege, a character created for the fireworks show of the edge of the galaxy last year. Originally, an incorporeal voice that narrated the stories of the heroes and villains that are real inside the earth, this year joins its reliable R1 series Astromech Droid Bard by illuminating the needles with projections of their history in “Shadows of Memory: a Skywalker Saga”, a show that explores the tragedy and triandas of the family that all connect them. All of them.
Lucasfilm created it in collaboration with the parks to appear as a type of revealing figure of the stories. “Now we have it as the center of ‘Shadows of Memory’. And so it is so perfect to have someone to tell the mythical saga of Skywalker’s story, because Star Wars It’s a kind of modern myth, “Martin said.” Having a character in the universe to make that narrative is a kind of perfect bridge for both programs that we have here. And I hope we can continue using that character as a narrator in the coming years both in the park and in others Star Wars stories “.
This is key to opening the stories told inside the earth and the characters that may appear in the future of the whole Star Wars Canon, confirmed Serna. “Star Wars He has so many stories to tell. Matt and I had many discussions about how we introduced things, such as Fire of Memory [in] The fireworks show. We had the idea that a narrator is the universal that has happened at the beginning of [humankind]. It is our lifestyle. We met around a fire and tell a story. This is how we have transmitted stories and mythologies. So why the galaxy of Star Wars be different? There would be people who would like to collect these stories and tell them to future generations. “
We cannot wait to see what other stories are heading to the parks, in addition to the teacher Luke Skywalker, whom we had to witness making their first great entry this afternoon.
As for any change that reaches Millennium Falcon: the smugglers run travel to coincide with the launch of the big screen next year of The Mandalorian and Grogu“Eas, Disney still keeps him a secret.” “I mean, we can’t talk too much about that,” Serna joked. “We still don’t have much to tell. Because apart from what you learned in South by Southwest, we can’t really talk about that.”
Martin added: “What I will say is that it will be another authentic mandal story, and obviously we will be in the Millenary hawk. So let’s learn how we end up in the Millenary hawk At a time when Han Solo possesses that ship. So that should be quite fun. But otherwise, I think you will have to wait and see. “
We also ask if any of the highlights is based on the now eliminated from Florida Star Wars: Starcruiser Galactic It could be arriving in Batuu, such as Light Saber experiences or our beloved Gaya Dinner show.
Sernna said: “I would say we always continue to grow and do new things. You never know.”
We asked if we should be optimistic, and Martin added: “We learned a lot about that, you know, from a point of view of stories narration. So I think the lessons we have learned will always inform the future.”
