Though we'll have to wait until December 20th to visit this new planet via Star Tours, just a few weeks before that Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is set to open at Disney's Hollywood Studios on December 5, 2019. This new attraction will be a more traditional dark ride experience that will be using some amazing technology to bring the world of the First Order to life, and will finally "complete" Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge when it opens, which will also hopefully help boost interest in this land during the holiday season. You can check out the latest sneak peek of this new ride here.
