Luke Skywalker Coming to STAR WARS Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland at Last

Luke Skywalker Coming to STAR WARS Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland at Last_1

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland and Walt Disney World is a Star Wars fan’s dream come true in many ways. But one thing about it that no one is happy with is the fixed timeline to the sequel trilogy. Now, we’re not sequel haters here. We love seeing Rey and Kylo Ren in the land. But what about characters from the other two trilogies?? Park guests really want to see them too. Well, according to the Disney Parks X account, it looks like Luke Skywalker is officially coming to Galaxy’s Edge. The official account teased Luke’s arrival in a post on social media. The follow-up post mentions Season of the Force, a Disneyland-only promotion. So maybe Luke won’t come to Orlando, just Anaheim.

This very much looks just like Luke Skywalker in his Return of the Jedi robes, with his trusted Astromech R2-D2 by his side. R2 does occasionally stroll through Galaxy’s Edge, although to be fair, he is a character who covers the entire Skywalker Saga. This Luke appears to be the one we meet in season two of The Mandalorian, when he answers Grogu’s Force call. True, we’ve seen other non-sequel trilogy characters in Galaxy’s Edge over the last few years, like Ahsoka, Sabine, Boba Fett, and Mando and Grogu. But they’re usually tie-ins to promote a Disney+ series. Characters from the other Star Wars trilogies have been famously absent.

This looks to all change with Luke’s arrival. Does this mean we’ll finally see Han, Leia, and Darth Vader himself? What about Obi-Wan and Queen Amidala? Disney does have the costumes on hand. They tend to bring them out on special event nights, like Star Wars Disneyland After Dark Nite. But shouldn’t they always be in Galaxy’s Edge? As long as a Phantom Menace-era Anakin isn’t standing around next to Darth Vader, we think it’s high time the entire film saga was represented. Hopefully, Master Skywalker’s arrival in Galaxy’s Edge means those old rules are finally loosening up.
