Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is a Star Wars-themed area being developed at Disneyland, Disney's Hollywood Studios and upcoming at Walt Disney Studios Park. The Star Wars-themed area, or "land," at each park will encompass 14 acres. The lands are scheduled to open at all three locations in 2019, with the Disneyland version opening first. Walt Disney Imagineering executive Scott Trowbridge is supervising the development of the new land at both parks. Disney CEO Bob Iger announced on March 3, 2016, at the Disney shareholders meeting, that construction on both versions of the land would begin in April 2016.

Differences[]
While sharing the same attractions and overall layout, the Disneyland version of Galaxy's Edge differs from its Disney's Hollywood Studios version in several ways, often subtle.
- Disneyland's Galaxy's Edge is accessible from three different entrances: A path from Critter Country leading into the Resistance's forest, a tunnel across from Big Thunder Mountain leading into the middle of Black Spire Outpost towards Droid Depot, and a path closer to the Fantasyland/Frontierland border leading to the First Order's headquarters.
- The statue at the end of the marketplace street at Disneyland is larger and dome-shaped. By contrast, the equivalent at Hollywood Studios is smaller and is square-shaped.
- The paint schemes throughout the Disneyland version are much more tan and neutrally colored in contrast to a more saturated color scheme employed at Hollywood Studios.
- For a viewpoint from the Smugglers Run queue, one of the spires is painted a bright orange to compliment a view of the spire peak of Big Thunder Mountain.
- The Resistance's forest base path is narrower than Florida, with the X-Wing and A-Wings being placed next to each other while Hollywood Studios has them parked on different sides of the path.
