Rise of the Resistance Star Wars Galaxy's Edge

 

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge has been open for a few months now, and while flying the Millennium Falcon is pretty amazing, a second ride is opening — Rise of the Resistance. Honestly, this is the ride I have been most excited for. So when Disney World invited to fly me down to check it out before opening, you know I had to say yes!

I am so excited to share these Rise of the Resistance pictures with you because personally, my jaw dropped when I saw them. Later today I will be riding it, so stay tuned for more!
