Key Information
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is a dark ride experience, and uses some amazing technology to bring the world of the First Order to life
This attraction has a huge number of animatronic figures and droids, almost a third of which are Stormtroopers, plus holograms of key Star Wars characters. In addition, this attraction has 18 different show scenes that involve 5 different ride systems, making it one of the most (if not the most) technically advanced rides at a Disney park ever.
The entire Star Wars: Ride of the Resistance experience is about half an hour long, with three pre-show segments happening before the ride itself, which is less than ten minutes long.
The ride is set in the new land - Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge - where visitors enter the village of Black Spire Outpost on Batuu, a remote trading planet. Here, there are cantinas and restaurants with curious concoctions and galactic foods, shops selling ancient Star Wars antiquities, a hidden Resistance rendezvous area and even a First Order base.
