The Star Wars lands will become the largest single-themed land expansion for both parks and will feature two signature attractions, including a Millennium Falcon simulator and a battle between the First Order and the Resistance.

The original plan for the Star Wars themed lands was announced in 2015, and the properties are expected to open to the public in 2019.
