Photos: Galaxy’s Edge Characters Expanding with Leia, Han, and Darth Vader

Disney has shared new photos showcasing the updated character lineup coming to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland. Starting April 29, the land’s rigid timeline will officially be history, allowing characters from across the Star Wars saga to coexist on Batuu. That means the arrival of original trilogy heavy-hitters like Leia Organa, Han Solo, Darth Vader, and Imperial-era Stormtroopers.

We’ve already written about what the timeline shift means for the land (and guest enjoyment), so we won’t rehash that here other than to say, finally. We’re finally getting full-on Star Wars in Galaxy’s Edge.

Just not at Hollywood Studios. Still waiting on that one.
