Disney has released some gorgeous concept art for Galaxy’s Edge, its upcoming Star Wars park to open soon at both Disneyland and Disney World. Let’s take a look at what Star Wars fans are in for.
To start, visitors will be able to visit the Milk Stand, where they can “ip on the blue or green milk that Luke Skywalker famously drank in the Star Wars movies.”
The popular Batuu beverage is served frozen (slushy?), perfect for those boiling hot afternoons when your band of smugglers needs refreshment after a day of avoiding agents of the First Order.
Above is the concept art for a restaurant called Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo, where “hungry travelers can head inside a working hangar bay to feast on galactic favorites.” A working hangar bay? Sounds interesting.
The menu includes “American and Vegetarian cuisine.” Does that include Bantha porterhouse steaks?
Perhaps one of the most anticipated experiences waiting us in Galaxy’s Edge will be Oga’s Cantina, where visitors “can sample local beverages and curious concoctions.” This “notorious local watering hole” reminds us very much of the Mos Eisley Cantina from the original Star Wars movie, a dangerous smuggler tavern described by Obi-Wan Kenobi as a “wretched hive of scum and villainy.” Is the Bith alien band Figrin Da’n and the Modal Nodes headlining there?
Moving from eateries to a Black Spire Outpost shop, here’s the concept for the Toydarian Toymaker’s store:
Disney describes this place as “a whimsical workshop filled with handcrafted toys made by local artisans.” The merchandise includes toys, plush, art and collectibles. Anybody else think these will be pricey?
Other illustrations spotlight Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities and the Creature Stall, where you can adopt all kinds of baby space beasts, including porgs, tauntauns, wampas, worrts and a galactic menagerie of others. You can view all of the concept art at Disney’s official Galaxy’s Edge website.

I’ve made a few trips to Disneyland lately, and we can offer up a few iPhone snaps of the bits and pieces of Galaxy’s Edge you can see on a visit. Looking from the top of the parking structure, you can glimpse the under-construction domes and spires of the remote Batuu Outpost:
On the steamboat circling Tom Sawyer’s Island you get a closer view of the work cranes and outpost high points rising beyond the river cliff:
And you can’t escape the increasing Star Wars elements around Tomorrowland, such as nosy-but-photo-friendly Stormtroopers patrolling outside the Launch Bay exhibit center. That doesn’t appear to be the droid they’re looking for.
Inside the Launch Bay is pretty cool, with lots of Star Wars costumes and models to investigate, along with characters like Darth Vader, Princess Leia and Boba Fett ready to join you for a photograph. Below is a scale mock-up of the Batuu Outpost:
There’s also a full-scale TIE Fighter uniform. There’s tons of this stuff in the Launch Bay.
In other news, Mark Hamill tweeted out a tongue-in-cheek first-look image of the upcoming Star Wars: Episode IX trailer, probably dropping April 12 at the Star Wars Celebration in Chicago:
People keep asking me over & over & over again- "When will they release the #EpisodeIX trailer?"

A) I don't know.
B) Until they do, just be satisfied with this exclusive look at my own personal #StarWars trailer.#PatiencePadawans #IXWillBeFineAllInGoodTime pic.twitter.com/aBeXdF57X9
Good one, Luke.
