Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Media Event

Walt Disney Company Chairman and CEO Bob Iger, George Lucas, and other Star Wars legends officially unveil the new land at Disneyland Resort.

In a moment that capped off a reunion of some of the biggest names from the Star Wars saga, including creator George Lucas, Walt Disney Company Chairman and CEO Bob Iger officially welcomed the world to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge inside Disneyland Resort. The opening ceremony for the new themed land in the Anaheim, California, park, which officially opens to the public today, included humble thanks to the thousands of Walt Disney Imagineers, artists, construction workers, designers, and others who had a hand in bringing the ambitious and sprawling 14-acre immersive experience to reality.

While Lucas shared his gratitude to Imagineers (“This thing is amazing,” he said), Billy Dee Williams took the stage to talk about what the role of Lando means to him, and how excited he is for fans to finally pilot the Millennium Falcon. “This land is for you,” he said. Mark Hamill greeted the crowd with a charming story about the opening of Star Tours, and reflected on how grateful he is to be part of the saga.
