We now know all the Star Wars characters you can encounter around Batuu West after part of the land officially shifts to the original trilogy’s timeline on April 29.
Original Trilogy Character Meet and Greets
Disney has been steadily revealing the characters coming to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge with the upcoming timeline shift, finally revealing the Rebels together in a group shot and providing a roundup of all the classic characters soon to be seen around the Millennium Falcon in Batuu.
Luke Skywalker & R2-D2
Luke Skywalker will appear in his black Return of the Jedi outfit alongside R2-D2. Luke previously appeared at Disneyland last year as part of Season of the Force.
Leia Organa
The leader of the Rebel Alliance, Princess Leia Organa can be seen in her The Empire Strikes Back-inspired outfit from the Hoth base.
Han Solo & Chewbacca
Finally, never tell us the odds of running into Han Solo and his trusted partner Chewie around the Falcon.
Darth Vader & Imperial Stormtroopers
Of course, Darth Vader, flanked by Imperial Stormtroopers, will also be canvassing the area searching for Rebels and spies.
New Timeline Characters
Because the area around Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance will remain themed to the new trilogy’s timeline, familiar faces from the later films and series will continue to roam around that area.
The Mandalorian and Grogu, Rey, and Ahsoka Tano can all be encountered in the area past the Marketplace.
The Force will be with you, always.💫 Join your favorite Rebels or pledge allegiance to the Empire starting April 29, 2026 at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at @Disneyland.
Batuu West Timeline Shift
So far, the changes we’ve noticed around Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland leading up to the original trilogy timeline shift later this month have been minimal. Oga’s Cantina recently reopened after a months-long refurbishment, but the work mostly involved general maintenance with only minor references changed, and after a short closure to “acquire more treasures,” Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities reopened with some new props around his shop.
Which character are you most excited to meet when Galaxy’s Edge goes back a long time ago in a couple of weeks? Let us know on social media.
