PHOTOS: Preparations and Promotional Filming Underway for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Media Event at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Bright suns from Batuu! The highly anticipated attraction Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance attraction will be opening in Galaxy’s Edge on December 5th. If you were planning on stopping by Batuu the evening of December 4th, you may be disappointed. The land will be closed to the general public from 4PM onward for a special media event to celebrate the opening of the attraction. The attraction will be dedicated during this event, and the ceremony will be live-streamed on YouTube for all to see. Even though the media event is a few days away, preparations were already underway at Hollywood Studios.

Once in Galaxy’s Edge, the entire area surrounding Rise of the Resistance was off limits to guests for filming purposes. Cast Members made a barricade around the area, blocking any curious guests from getting in.

  1. I looked this morning and I don’t see where FastPasses are available for this (or for anything in Batuu, for that matter). Has Disney not opened up FPs yet for Galaxy’s Edge yet?
