Galaxy’s Edge Draws Huge Crowds Day After Original Trilogy Debut

One day after the April 29 debut of Original Trilogy characters in Disneyland's Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, crowds remained massive. Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, Han Solo, and Stormtroopers continued to draw visitors, especially around the Millennium Falcon.

Following the April 29 launch of permanent Original Trilogy character appearances in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge—which melded timelines on Batuu with figures like Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Han Solo, Princess Leia, and Imperial Stormtroopers—crowds persisted strongly into Wednesday, April 30. Observers reported throngs at the Millennium Falcon base awaiting Luke, Leia, and Han, while most areas felt busy due to the characters' appeal. Some spots remained navigable, but the novelty shows no signs of fading soon.

Visitors should use the Disneyland app for approximate character times, treating them as guidelines; lingering often leads to sightings. This sustained popularity underscores the iconic draw of these characters in enhancing the Batuu experience.
