 Star War's Galaxy's Edge is a land in [[Disney's Hollywood Studios]]
 ==History==
 Early on in the develop of a Star Wars Land, Imagineers began working on a concept for [[Disney's Hollywood Studios]] that would have set the land in Tatooine during the time of the original Star Wars trilogy <ref name="wdwmagic"> WDW Radio #585- Untold Stories of Walt Disney World with Former VP Dan Cockerell, WDW Radio, 27 Apr. 2020. </ref>. This incarnation of the land would have incorporated [[Star Tours]], and would have also housed Mos Eisley's Cantina<ref name="wdwmagic"/>. In addition to a different setting, this early version of Star Wars Land would also have been built in a different location. Instead of being built over The Streets of America and the [[Studio Backlot]] attraction, the Tatooine version of Star Wars Land was originally going to be constructed on the location that currently houses Echo Lake, with the [[Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular]] lot being the heart of the new land<ref name="wdwmagic"/>.
 Although development on the Tatooine Star Wars Land was moving ahead, President of Lucasfilms Kathleen Kennedy sat down with Disney CEO Bob Iger to discuss the project. Kennedy felt that the land would be better served by being set during the current Star Wars trilogy, thus allowing Disney to update the land as the Star Wars story continued <ref name="wdwmagic"/>. Following Kennedy's intervention, plans for Tatooine were scrapped.

 While no time table for the construction of the new Star Wars Land was initially given, on April 14, 2016, the Disney Parks Blog posted a video which featured the land's official groundbreaking <ref> https://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/star-wars-land/news/14apr2016-disney-celebrates-official-groundbreaking-on-star-wars-lands-in-both-disneyland-and-disneys-hollywood-studios.htm </ref>. By this time, it was also confirmed that the land would be built on the former site of Disney's Hollywood Studio's [[Backlot Tour]] attraction. As construction progressed throughout 2016 and early 2017, Disney had still not given a timeline for when Star Wars Land would officially open. This changed on February 7, 2017, when Iger announced that the land would be opening in 2019 <ref> https://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/star-wars-land/news/07feb2017-star-wars-land-to-open-in-2019.htm </ref>.

-As progress on the land continued throughout 2018 and 2019, Disney slowly began to release more details about the immersive elements of Star War's Galaxy's Edge. In February 2019, Disney showcased the Audio Animatronic technology that would help bring the characters of Galaxy's Edge to life. Showcased at this time were the Hondo Ohnaka animatronic from [[Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run]], Nien Nunb from [[Rise of the Resistance]], and illusions to Rex (located in Oga's canteen) and Dok, who mans the desk in her Den of Antiquities <ref> https://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/star-wars-land/news/28feb2019-new-a-1000-audio-animatronics-to-bring-the-characters-of-star-wars-galaxys-edge-to-life.htm </ref>.

 Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is set on the planet Batuu, and is broken up into two distinct sections, Resistance Forest and the Black Spire Outpost Marketplace.
-The first area that guests enter when arriving at Star War's Galaxy Edge, is the Resistance Forest. Here, the Resistance has created a makeshift base in the "Old Outpost" section of Batuu, outside of the Black Spire Outpost. In the forest, guests can see an A-Wing fighter, and even Poe's X-Wing fighter. Also found this section of the land, is the Resistance Supply shop and the  Rise of the Resistance attraction. Resistance heroes such as Ray and Chewbacca also interact with guests within the Resistance Forest

 Continuing forward, guests enter the Black Spire Outpost Marketplace. In this bustling commerce area, guests can find Droid Depot, Savi's Workshop, Dok-Ondar's Den of Antiquities, and First Order Cargo, as well as smaller stalls such as The Creature Stall, Toydarian Toymaker, and Black Spire Outfitters. The Black Spire Outpost Marketplace is also home to Ronto Roasters, where guests can get a quick service meal.
 The main dining offering in Galaxy's Edge is found at Docking Bay 7. This counter service restaurant is housed within a multi-purpose transport shuttle that's docked on top of a large hanger. Inside, guess can find the restaurant, run by Chef Strono "Cookie" Tuggs, who describes it as a “traveling diner for diners traveling”.
-Another point of interest in the Black Spire Outpost Markeplace, is the infamous Oga's Cantina. This canitina is described as a place, "where bounty hunters, smugglers, rogue traders, and weary travelers of all ages come together to refuel, enjoy music, and conduct meetings—no questions asked." The bar features both alcoholic and non-alcoholic concoctions, as well as the musical stylings of DJ R-3X (also known as REX), the Starspeeder 30000 pilot droid who first appeared in [[Star Tours]].

-The final locale in Galaxy's Edge is the Millennium Falcon. Parked near Docking Bay 5, the Falcon is home to the land's (currently) only operating attraction Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run. According to Galaxy Edge's backstory, "following the events of “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” Chewbacca brought the Falcon to Black Spire Outpost for repairs at this spaceport on the edge of the galaxy. In exchange for some much-needed replacement parts, Chewie is loaning the Falcon to Hondo Ohnaka, a smuggler who is now making good use of the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs." On Smugglers Run, guests are given the opportunity to board the Falcon, where they are charged by Hondo Ohnaka with a mission to "collect", and return with, precious cargo. In order to complete their job, guests are broken up into six member teams, and each guests is given a role to play. On the attraction, there are two pilots, two gunners, and two engineers, all of whom must complete their tasks in order for the heist to be successful.
