New Resistance recruits will be in between a firefight between the Resistance and the First Order, including Kylo Ren. The attraction is called “Rise of the Resistance” and guests will undergo a journey through a full-sized starship and aboard a Star Destroyer. Rey (Daisy Ridley), Poe Dameron (Oscar Issac), Finn (John Boyega), and Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), have used footage of themselves to be placed within the attraction.

Rumors were floating around the Internet and saying this attraction will be “28 minutes long” and Disney Chairman of Parks, Experiences, and Products Bob Chapek shot down those rumors according towards Nerdist. He did say however, “it’s “the longest attraction we’ve ever developed with a ride vehicle.”
The ride vehicles will be trackless and will be ant-size up against fully-practical AT-ATs and being right in the middle of the action, between the Resistance and the First Order.

“Calling it “one of the most complex things we have ever done,” Reardon promises Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is replete with “experiential, jaw-dropping, how-did-they-do-that? moments.”
“Rise of the Resistance” will take over most of the 14-acre expansion because of how massive the attraction will be and if you read the story details up above, then well…be prepared for a Star Wars life changing experience that Disney has ever created for an attraction.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opens up at Disneyland in June 2019 and Late Fall 2019 at Walt Disney World.
