The D23 Expo 2017 is finally here and during a special early preview Thursday evening, we got the chance to check out the A GALAXY OF STORIES pavilion by Walt Disney Parks and Resorts.
The massive space includes a gigantic model of the yet-unnamed upcoming Star Wars themed land expansion that will be coming to both Disneyland Park in Anaheim, CA and Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Orlando. Aside from the nerdgasm-inducing diorama which is painfully action-figure ready–STEP AWAY FROM MY MINT 1979 BOBA FETT ACTION FIGURE–the exhibit also features tons of models, artwork, and media previewing what guests can expect to encounter starting in 2019. From new locations and starships to creatures and droids, there’s a lot to take in here!
We invite you now to join us in this sneak peek of a galaxy far, far away coming to a Disney Park near you. Follow us on Twitter and Facebook to stay up-to-date all D23 Expo 2017 weekend!
We’ll have a more in depth look soon but for now enjoy this selection of highlights from the must-see new space exclusively at the D23 Expo!
