3.  Star Wars characters wandering around 

And speaking of wandering characters, it looks like this concept may be coming back to Disney's theme parks in a small way inside Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. Characters like Chewie and Rey wander around this land, talking to guests, fixing up the Millennium Falcon and more, all while staying hidden from the Stormtoopers who patrol this area. Though these characters might stop and take a photo with you, they aren't really there to pose with guests, and instead feel like a way to make this land feel more "lived in" and help sell the "story" of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge.

4.  Darth Vader returns to Star Wars Launch Bay

On August 29, the same day next month that Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge opens Disney will be closing the Kylo Ren character meet and greet at the Star Wars Launch Bay, presumably due to Kylo Ren's presence inside this new land. Kylo Ren will then be replaced at the Star Wars Launch Bay by original trilogy villain Darth Vader.
