Publisher's summary[]
At the Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge themed lands at Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort, guests are more than spectators. They're active participants in the world of Star Wars, starring in their own galactic stories. Ingeniously imagined, designed, and planned by Walt Disney Imagineering and the Lucasfilm creative team, these themed lands encourage guests to explore Black Spire Outpost, located on the remote Outer Rim planet Batuu—a spaceport bustling with First Order and Resistance activity and teeming with droids, creatures, and fan-favorite characters like Chewbacca and pirate Hondo Ohnaka.
In The Art of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, hundreds of full-color concept artworks, sketches, blueprints, and photographs provide fans with a rare glimpse inside Disney Imagineering's creative process and tell the behind-the-scenes story of the challenges the team overcame to create something that could be constructed in our own real world and yet still transport fans to a galaxy far, far away….
Alongside commentary from the key creative minds who shaped the parks' design, author Amy Ratcliffe documents what it's like to dream and then build a life-size Star Wars adventure, one outfitted with a fully functioning cantina, a vibrant marketplace, lively characters, and two groundbreaking attractions: Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run, which allows guests to commandeer the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy; and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, in which guests find themselves in the crossfire of a ferocious battle between the Resistance and the First Order.
Plus, The Art of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge offers an inside look at the upcoming Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser experience, a first-of-its-kind immersive two-night adventure.
