- Construction sign at Disney's Hollywood Studios

Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is a themed land currently in development by The Walt Disney Company, slated to open in 2019 at Disneyland and Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World.

History
Disney CEO Robert Iger first announced at the D23 Expo on August 15, 2015 that the company would be building a Star Wars-themed land in Disneyland Park at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California and in Disney's Hollywood Studios at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida. The announcement stated that these lands would be fourteen acres in size, making them the largest single land expansions in company history. The two attractions announced for the land included a ride that puts guests behind the controls of the Millennium Falcon and a ride that throws guests into the middle of a battle between the First Order and the Resistance. It was also announced that the lands' setting would be an outpost on a yet-to-be-seen planet on the edge of the Outer Rim Territories, just before Wild Space. During the Q1 FY17 Earnings call for The Walt Disney Company on February 7, 2017, Iger announced that the new lands would open in the year 2019. During the "Star Wars and Disney Parks: A Galaxy in the Making" panel at Celebration Orlando, Asa Kalama of Walt Disney Imagineering stated that what they were building would be canonical.

In the lead up to the annual D23 Expo, the Disney Parks Blog unveiled a logo for the event "Walt Disney Parks and Resorts: A Galaxy of Stories", which would debut on July 14-16. The event would allow for guests to catch a glimpse of the locations, starships, creatures, and droids that would populate the village that will act as a setting for the park, as well as the unveiling of a detailed model for the 14 acre theme park that would debut in 2019, alongside plenty of artwork and media showcasing its development.
