Take a Closer Look at Disney’s Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance with Our Photo Gallery

Disney has outdone itself with Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. The centerpiece attraction of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opened last week, and drops guests into a sprawling battle between the Resistance and the First Order. It’s full of twists and surprises, and is one of the most technologically advanced rides ever found at any theme park. You can currently experience it at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida, and it opens at Disneyland in California on Jan. 17, 2020. You don’t have to wait for a trip to either place to get an inside look at the ride today, though. Here are two dozen photos from inside and outside Rise of the Resistance, as provided by Disney. If you don’t mind spoilers, and need to see what it looks like right now, take a look through the gallery below.
