    Princess Leia, Han Solo Coming to Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland

    FINALLY!!

    We are very excited to share the news that Princess Leia and Han Solo will be making their way to Black Spire Outpost on Batuu, aka Galaxy’s Edge, aka “Star Wars” Land at Disneyland! Also revealed was the return of Darth Vader, who has appeared in the parks before, but this will be his first time in the dedicated galaxy far, far away area. (Han and Leia have also appeared, but it was decades ago, and before the LucasFilm / Disney merger.)

    Beginning April 29th, 2026, Black Spire Outpost is entering a new timeline, moving closer to the events of the original film trilogy. As a result, visitors to Batuu, the planet inside Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.

    The main announcement centered around Vader and his classic Stormtroopers, but further reading revealed the REAL news.

    Okay yes, this is me during a Halloween event at Disneyland, but you get the idea

    From the “Star Wars” website:

    Fortunately for the rebels, some powerful allies are headed to Black Spire Outpost, too. Luke Skywalker will be making an appearance, joined by Han Solo and Leia Organa. The princess and the scoundrel will be making their first appearance in Galaxy’s Edge. The Disney Parks team worked closely with Lucasfilm to craft all-new looks for Han and Leia, making sure they’re ready for adventure on Batuu. Han wears his iconic vest, while Leia rocks a battle-ready white outfit. Her hair is up in a practical crown braid, similar to how she wore it on Hoth in “Empire Strikes Back.”

    “This is Leia’s adventure look,” Lucasfilm senior creative executive Matt Martin explained. “It’s inspired by some comic book appearances from this era, as well as the look that she had in Star Wars Battlefront II, the video game. But this is really the first time we get to see it physically created on a person.”

    There were no photos released of Han and Leia yet, but, there were a few of Vader.

    And, perhaps the most exciting part of the announcement, news that the Maestro of Movies John Williams‘ classic “Star Wars” scores will be used in the park.
