Walk the ancient streets, meet the colorful characters, and uncover the secret history of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, the upcoming expansion to the Disney Parks experience!
After devastating losses at the hands of
the First Order, General Leia Organa has dispatched her agents across
the galaxy in search of allies, sanctuary, and firepower—and her top
spy, Vi Moradi, may have just found all three, on a secluded world at
the galaxy’s edge.
A planet of lush forests, precarious
mountains, and towering, petrified trees, Batuu is on the furthest
possible frontier of the galactic map, the last settled world before the
mysterious expanse of Wild Space. The rogues, smugglers, and
adventurers who eke out a living on the largest settlement on the
planet, Black Spire Outpost, are here to avoid prying eyes and
unnecessary complications. Vi, a Resistance spy on the run from the
First Order, is hardly a welcome guest. And when a shuttle full of
stormtroopers lands in her wake, determined to root her out, she has no
idea where to find help.
To survive, Vi will have to seek out the
good-hearted heroes hiding in a world that redefines scum and villainy.
With the help of a traitorous trooper and her acerbic droid, she begins
to gather a colorful band of outcasts and misfits, and embarks on a
mission to spark the fire of resistance on Batuu—before the First Order
snuffs it out entirely.
Vi Moradi previously appeared in the novel Phasma, Baatu was previously seen in the novels Pirate's Price and Thrawn: Alliances, and the outpost of Black Spire was first mentioned in Solo: A Star Wars Story. Galaxy's Edge will open at Disneyland first, with May 31st being opening day
in California, while the park will open a little later at Disney World,
with August 29th being the big day in Florida.
