"A highly immersive, film-backed land that incorporates faithful physical details and archival accuracy—prop-building techniques included dragging droid wheels to dusty walkways for authenticity, and some retail items were produced by digitally scanning Lucasfilm archives so fans can buy highly accurate reproductions of familiar screen props and costumes." - Carlye Wisel Carlye Wisel Carlye Wisel is one of the nation's leading theme park journalists.

"A 14-acre expansion dedicated to the Star Wars franchise. Live out your Star Wars fantasies here by stepping into the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon, sipping on blue milk, or bellying up to the bar at Oga’s Cantina."
"Eager fans have been lining up since the beginning of the year to get a taste of all the new food at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland..." - Farley Elliott
"The newly opened Star Wars-themed section sold Coca-Cola and Sprite in souvenir bottles modeled after the franchise’s “thermal detonator.” The TSA initially barred the spherical bottles from both checked and carry-on baggage because they resembled explosives, sparking wide public ridicule. On August 28 the agency reversed course, instructing officers to treat the items as oversized liquids: because they contain more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) they must be placed in checked baggage or emptied before being carried on, although officers retain discretion to prohibit anything they deem a security threat. The controversy highlighted perceived inconsistencies in TSA policy and how quickly a major entertainment brand’s prominence can influence enforcement decisions." - Jenny G. Zhang
"The galaxy far, far away is finally within reach—and you’re going to want to visit. Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is set to open at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, on Friday, May 31. This brand new 14-acre section of the park (the largest pegged to any franchise at a Disney theme park) finally gives super-fans of the Star Wars universe the chance to visit Batuu, create their own custom droid, and even ride the Millennium Falcon."
