At D23 Expo 2017, we spoke with Imagineer Chris Beatty about what we can expect from Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge when it finally opens in 2019 at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World.
Chris is the Executive Creative Director at Walt Disney Imagineering and he explained that Imagineers work hand-in-hand with the Lucasfilm design team headed by Doug Chiang to create Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. His excitement about this new land is contagious! Click on the video to hear his interview and see footage and images of the half-inch scale model of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. We also reveal concept art and a NEW droid named Jake that’s a total mix between Star Tours’ Captain Rex, R2-D2, MST3K’s Tom Servo and a Roomba.
