After a temporary closure for refurbishments, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at Disneyland is reportedly set to reopen tomorrow. And yes — that means boarding groups, First Order interrogations, and that massive Star Destroyer hangar moment are back on the table. The attraction, located inside Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland Resort, has been closed for scheduled updates and technical work. While Disney hasn’t publicly detailed every change, refurbishments typically focus on ride system reliability, animatronic maintenance, and show element upgrades. For a ride as ambitious as this one, that’s a big deal. Why This Matters Rise of the Resistance isn’t just another theme park ride. It’s one of the most technologically complex attractions ever built by Disney Imagineering. The experience blends: When it works at full capacity, it’s arguably the most immersive Star Wars attraction ever created. What Could Be Updated? Disney rarely publishes detailed patch notes (imagine if they…

Disneyland Parks Hit by Global Tourism Boycott — Galaxy’s Edge Sees Impact
Disney theme parks, long a symbol of global family travel and entertainment, are currently facing a notable decline in international visitors, and a key driver appears to be political backlash tied to U.S. policies and cultural debates. While Disney has not used the word “boycott” formally, declining attendance from overseas markets — particularly Asia and Europe — is widely being attributed to overseas travelers choosing to avoid U.S. parks for political reasons. This shift is affecting even some of the parks’ biggest draws, including Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, which was once seen as a near-guaranteed crowd-puller for international tourists. Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge — Still a Showcase, But Facing Changing Crowds When Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opened at Disneyland in California and Walt Disney World in Florida, it was one of the most ambitious and immersive themed lands Disney had ever produced. Guests could interact with the Millennium Falcon, test…
Oga’s Cantina at Disneyland Is Closing Temporarily for an Original Trilogy-Themed Refurb
If you’re planning a trip to Disneyland’s Galaxy’s Edge anytime soon, here’s a heads-up Star Wars fans actually need to know: Oga’s Cantina is set to temporarily close for a refurbishment — and the theme is reportedly shifting toward the Original Trilogy era. So yes… your favorite place to sip a weird green drink while DJ R-3X does his thing is about to get a little makeover. And if the rumors are true, it’s going to lean more into the classic Star Wars vibe. Oga’s Cantina: Still One of Galaxy’s Edge’s Best Experiences Oga’s Cantina is one of the most “Star Wars” places you can visit without stepping onto a movie set. It’s loud, chaotic, packed, and borderline illegal-feeling — which is exactly what a real cantina should be. For years, the setting has been locked into the sequel trilogy era, consistent with the original Galaxy’s Edge concept: But lately,…
Leia Is Bringing Her Battlefront II “Adventure” Look to Galaxy’s Edge — Starting 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…
