Leia’s Battlefront II “Adventure” Look Is Coming to Galaxy’s Edge on April 29

Galaxy’s Edge is already getting a major identity shift on April 29 — and Lucasfilm is clearly not treating Leia Organa like a simple “meet-and-greet checkbox.”

Instead, Disneyland’s version of Galaxy’s Edge will introduce Leia in a brand-new (but very familiar) outfit: her Star Wars Battlefront II “Adventure” appearance, complete with the crown braid.

And yes: this is the first time this look has been brought to life in live-action form.

Why this matters now

The April 29 change isn’t just about swapping Kylo Ren for Darth Vader.

This is Lucasfilm quietly rewriting how Galaxy’s Edge works as an experience: less “locked timeline,” more “Star Wars museum you can walk through”—but still with storytelling rules.

Leia’s new costume is one of the clearest signs that this isn’t random nostalgia. It’s intentional, curated nostalgia.

The kind that actually respects canon and what fans want to see.

What Lucasfilm actually said

In Lucasfilm’s own write-up on the update, Lucasfilm Senior Creative Executive Matt Martin explained what this specific outfit is:

It’s Leia’s “adventure look”
It’s inspired by comic appearances
And explicitly tied to Star Wars Battlefront II (the video game)
It’s also “the first time we get to see it physically created on a person”

That quote matters because it confirms something fans love hearing: this isn’t a vague “inspired by.” Lucasfilm is owning the Battlefront II connection publicly.

What the look is (for gamers who immediately recognized it)

If you played Star Wars Battlefront II even casually, you’ve probably seen it.

The “Adventure” appearance is essentially Leia in a practical, ready-for-trouble white outfit, with her hair styled into a crown braid — a visual that sits nicely in the Original Trilogy era without screaming “ceremonial gown.”

It’s a smart pick for Galaxy’s Edge because it fits Batuu perfectly:

It looks like she could be recruiting spies
It looks like she could be mid-mission
It looks like she belongs in the same world as smugglers, rebels, and informants

In other words: it looks like Andor’s corner of Star Wars, not a stage show.

The Andor connection (and why this outfit choice is a big deal)

No, Leia’s Galaxy’s Edge appearance isn’t literally from Andor.

But aesthetically? Spiritually? This is the same philosophy.

Andor made Star Wars feel real by making everything functional:

coats had weight
uniforms looked used
buildings felt industrial
rebellion felt expensive and messy

Leia showing up in a grounded “adventure” design signals that Galaxy’s Edge isn’t moving toward cartoonish fanservice — it’s moving toward tactile, believable Star Wars.

That’s the Andor effect on the franchise: even when Star Wars goes nostalgic, it now tends to go textured, not glossy.

Why this matters to Star Wars fans (and Disneyland fans)

For years, Galaxy’s Edge has been stunning… but oddly narrow.

There’s always been something slightly strange about visiting Star Wars land and not seeing iconic Original Trilogy characters on a normal day.

Starting April 29, that changes — and Leia isn’t just returning.

She’s returning with a look pulled from one of the most modern Star Wars cross-media pipelines:

Games → comics → live action theme park canon.

It’s Lucasfilm saying the quiet part out loud: Star Wars isn’t only built in movies anymore. It’s built everywhere.

What Comes Next

If Lucasfilm is comfortable bringing a video game outfit to life in Galaxy’s Edge, that opens the door to something bigger than just Disneyland costumes.

It’s a test of what Star Wars can be when it treats gaming visuals as canon-adjacent design language — not just “bonus content.”

And honestly?

That’s where Star Wars should be in 2026: one connected galaxy where the best ideas can come from Andor, or Battlefront II, or a comic panel — and still feel like the same universe when you see it in person.
