History Ride / StarWarsGalaxysEdge

* PaletteSwappedAlienFood: Some of the various food items are oddly-colored to make them look more alien, including the blue and green milk and the blue "Felucian shrimp" served aboard the ''Halcyon''.

** The Saja lightsaber trainers on the ''Halcyon'' rally their students to the cry of "Together, as one!"

* FictionalGreetingsAndFarewells: The local greetings on Batuu are "Bright suns" in the morning, "Rising moons" in the evening, and "'Til the spire" as farewell. ''Halcyon'' crewmembers greet passengers with "Good journey" and say "May the stars light your way" as farewell. It's also traditional aboard the ''Halcyon'' to toast special occasions with ''Ta'bu e tay'', which means "Cherish the moment" in Anzellan (the native language of Shug Drabor, the founder of the cruise line, who is of the same species as [[Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker Babu Frik]]).

* RagsToRiches: In the "Rom-Com" plotline, Sandro is a [[StarvingArtist struggling Togruta musician]] who books passage on the ''Halcyon'' because he's a fan of Gaya. [[spoiler:Over the course of the voyage, he [[InterspeciesRomance falls in love with Ouanni]], Gaya's Rodian keyboardist, and with encouragement from some of the other passengers, Sandro and Ouanni deliver a performance that impresses Gaya's manager Raithe so much that he's going to promote them as a new act.]]

* WeNeedADistraction: Several of the impromptu activities that passengers can be involved in include distracting the stormtroopers while other passengers help Chewbacca or Rey move to other parts of the ship.

** The MacGuffin of the "heist" plotline on ''Galactic Starcruiser'' is the Ryloth Stone, which Raithe wants a passenger to steal for him so that Gaya can return it to Ryloth.

* DressingAsTheEnemy: At the end of the ''Galactic Starcruiser'' storyline, [[spoiler:Sammie the mechanic turns the tables on Lieutenant Croy by disguising himself as a stormtrooper and taking Croy hostage.]]

* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Characters on Batuu will refer to Earth items this way to make them sound more "spacey", such as calling smart phones "data pads" or taking a picture "scans" or "image capture".

* LegitimateBusinessmensSocialClub: Ohnaka Transport Solutions is a cover for Hondo's smuggling operation that also delivers supplies to the Resistance, and Savi & Son Salvage secretly collects lightsaber components. On the ''Galactic Starcruiser'', the First Order boards the ship because they suspect the ''Halcyon'' might be cover for a Resistance cell.

** The canon characters who can be met wandering around on Batuu include Rey, Finn, Vi Moradi, Kylo Ren, Chewbacca and R2-D2. [[FakeCrossover Even though they don't belong in the sequels' time period,]] Din Djarin, Grogu, Boba Fett, Fennec Shand, Ahsoka Tano, Hera and Chopper appear separately from the sequel characters.

** People who have only seen the movies may find the "Elemental Nature" style of lightsabers from Savi's Workshop to be unusual, but there are precedents for it. The Wookiee padawan Gungi used a Brylark wood grip when building his lightsaber in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'', and Tenel Ka's lightsabers had rancor tooth pommels in the [[Franchise/StarWarsLegends original saga]] .

** On the screens behind Hondo when he gives his briefing in ''Smuggler's Run'', guests can see the ''Millennium Falcon'' take off from the landing pad outside the building and relocate to a hangar inside the building where the guests will board her. This conceals the fact that no visitors are actually allowed inside the life-size ''Falcon'' in front of the ''Smuggler's Run'' ride building, although Rey and Chewbacca occasionally go into the life-size ''Falcon'' so that they're visible in the cockpit.

''Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge'' is a themed land in Ride/DisneyThemeParks (Ride/{{Disneyland}} and [[Ride/WaltDisneyWorld Disney's Hollywood Studios]]) that is based on the popular SpaceOpera franchise ''Franchise/StarWars''. Disneyland's version debuted first on May 31, 2019, and the Walt Disney World version opened later on August 29. A version was planned for Euro Disneyland in Paris, but its status is uncertain. Unlike its older predecessor ''Ride/StarTours'', which plays fast and loose with continuity, the land is intended to fit within the current series canon.

* ''Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser: Halcyon Legacy'' - A comic miniseries published by Creator/MarvelComics featuring events in the history of the ship.

* ShortRunners: ''Galactic Starcruiser'' will be shut down after only 18 months of operation, March 2022 to September 2023.

* {{Battlecry}}: The Resistance's battlecry is "Ignite the spark, light the fire!" (which is also used as a TrustPassword), calling back to Poe's line in ''Film/TheLastJedi'': "We are the spark that'll light the fire that'll burn the First Order down."

* {{Retraux}}: Video monitors around Galaxy's Edge are modern 16x9 flatscreens, with a frame overlaid on them that makes them look like 4x3 [=CRTs=] with a couple of smaller screens on the side.

* TheBusCameBack: As the basic story of Smuggler's Run (Hondo cuts a deal with Chewie to borrow the ''Falcon'' for smuggling missions to support the Resistance) is considered fully canon, this marks the first canonical appearance of Hondo Ohnaka in the sequel trilogy era.
* ButThouMust: If the passengers aboard ''Smuggler's Run'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbikEDS7Mjs don't interact with any of the controls]] throughout the entire ride, the ''Millennium Falcon'' will still jump to hyperspace, fire missiles, and capture one coaxium container. This probably counts as an AntiFrustrationFeature, especially if the passengers are small children.

* EasterEgg: With a full six crewmembers' cooperation, riders on ''Smuggler's Run'' can activate [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74PURh7dI3g "Chewie mode"]], in which only Chewie's voice is heard in voice-over throughout the entire ride, not Hondo.
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Inverted. On ''Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run'', you just get less points if you fail to follow Hondo's instructions rather than crashing the ship if that's what you expected. The worst that happens [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTGp4D4dtjg if you do extremely poorly]] is that the return trip includes an asteroid field and the Falcon's electronics spark as you leave the cockpit.

* CoversAlwaysLie: Promo art for ''Rise of The Resistance'' shows the heads of the [=AT-ATs=] in the ride targeting the riders as they pass through. In the ride proper, [[spoiler:the only moving part of the [=AT-ATs=] is the cannons of the first one, which turn to fire at the riders once they've been noticed after the lift (mistakenly) raises them.]]

* {{Expy}}: Lieutenant Bek from ''Rise of the Resistance'' is one to [[Film/RogueOne Admiral Raddus]], being a grey-skinned Mon Calamari male with a pronounced British accent.
* GoneHorriblyWrong: On ''Rise of the Resistance'', you initially set off aboard the Intersystem Transport Ship on a mission to the Pacara system to warn General Leia of the incoming First Order ships. But, as this is ''Star Wars'', things don't go exactly to plan and you are captured by the First Order.
* HallOfMirrors: Hidden mirrors are used in ''Rise of the Resistance'' to make some rooms look bigger than they really are, such in the briefing room to hide the mechanics of Rey's hologram, or in the AT-AT hangar to make it look like there's more than two.

* ObscuredSpecialEffects: Presumably to avoid any potential UnintentionalUncannyValley effect, the only unmasked human animatronics on ''Rise of the Resistance'' (Finn and Hux) appear at a distance from the ride vehicles and either from behind or in low lighting. %%invoked
* OnceAnEpisode: In ''Rise of the Resistance'', Lt. Bek says "I've got a bad feeling about this" when your transport is captured by the Star Destroyer's tractor beam.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: In ''Rise of the Resistance'', Rey and Bek unintentionally made the situation more desperate by briefly mentioning Pacara as the planet the recruits are being taken to. As a result, when the recruits are captured the Resistance has to deploy an immediate rescue with a full scale fleet before Kylo Ren can extract the location of the base from their minds. Maybe [[Film/TheLastJedi Holdo]] had the right idea about keeping things close to the chest...
* WilhelmScream: A Stormtrooper that gets gunned down by Finn in the AT-AT hangar in ''Rise of The Resistance'' lets out one of these. This marks the second time it's used in the sequel trilogy era, as it was only used in ''The Force Awakens''.

* {{Battlecry}}:
** The Saja lightsaber trainers on the ''Halcyon'' rally their students to the cry of "Together, as one!"
** Lieutenant Croy, the First Order officer in charge of uncovering the Resistance cell on the ''Halcyon'', leads First Order sympathizers among the passengers in a cry of "For the Order!"
* ChekhovsGun: When ''Halcyon'' passengers are given their first tour of the ship, the crew point out the antique hyperspace compass displayed in the Atrium, which became the basis of Chandrila Star Lines' logo. During Gaya's dinner performance, she speaks of the Ryloth Stone (also known as the Hayananeya) that was stolen from her people and her intention to return it to her homeworld. In a subversion of the way Chekhov's Guns usually pay off, [[spoiler:most passengers don't learn that the stone is part of the compass unless Raithe recruits them to steal it.]]
* DinnerTheatre: ''Galactic Starcruiser'' continues the setting's two-day storyline while the guests are enjoying their meals, and in-universe, intergalactic superstar Gaya is on board the ''Halcyon'' and eager to perform her songs.

* MindOverMatter: The Saja crewmembers on the ''Halcyon'' can guide selected children through a Force training exercise in the Climate Simulator where they move pebbles with telekinesis.

* {{Railroading}}: The ''Galactic Starcruiser'' has numerous sub-plots which passengers can take an active role in, which culminate in elaborate interactive games towards the afternoon of day 2. However, there's a hard limit on how many guests can participate in one plotline simultaneously, and the cast usually prioritizes letting younger children have as much agency as possible. If you're of legal age, you can potentially be lumped in with whatever plotlines have had the least amount of audience participation regardless of your previous choices, even being recruited to join the First Order's [[spoiler:sabotage efforts]] when you've previously been nothing but unhelpful to them.

** The ''Halcyon'' has a dedicated astromech droid, SK-620, who roams the ship and works as a [=MagicBand=] interactable for the passengers. [[spoiler:It proves instrumental in breaking Chewbacca out of the ship's brig, but gets captured by the First Order as a result.]]
** Every passenger's cabin provides a video terminal which connects to D3-09, a logistics droid who speaks to guests about their experiences during the trip and also has some miniature storylines of her own.
* SecretPath: On the ''Halcyon'', [[spoiler: there's an escape tunnel from the Brig that leads into the Engineering Room.]]

* WeNeedADistraction: Several of the impromptu activities that ''Halcyon'' passengers can be involved in include distracting the stormtroopers while other passengers help Chewbacca or Rey move to other parts of the ship.

The Florida version of the land also included ''Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser'' from March 2022 to September 2023. While billed as a hotel, it was more accurately a two-night {{LARP}}[=/=]DinnerTheater event. The ''Halcyon'' is a luxury cruise ship planning a stop at Batuu when it gets caught up in the Resistance/First Order conflict, with the various factions aboard the ship recruiting passengers to aid them.

** The canon characters who can be met wandering around on Batuu include Rey, Finn, Vi Moradi, Kylo Ren, Chewbacca, and R2-D2. Also Din Djarin, Grogu, Boba Fett, Fennec Shand, Ahsoka Tano, Hera, and Chopper; [[FakeCrossover even though they don't belong in the sequels' time period]].

* FakeCrossover: Starting in 2022, the California version of ''Galaxy's Edge'' introduced characters from ''Series/TheMandalorian'' and its various spinoffs (Boba Fett, Fennec Shand, Din Djarin carrying Grogu, and Ahsoka Tano) as walk-around characters, with Din and Grogu also appearing in Florida in 2023. However, those shows take place 30 years before the rest of the land's setting. Disney admits that they're out of place in that regard and their appearances shouldn't be taken as canon, and they ensure that the Mando-era and Sequel-era characters don't interact with one another so as not to ''really'' break continuity. At best, it's a CrossThrough where the characters probably did pass through Batuu in their own era.

* ''VideoGame/StarWarsTalesFromTheGalaxysEdge'' - A VirtualReality game set on Batuu; released in 2020.

** If you put a white kyber crystal in a Jedi Holocron, [[https://twitter.com/phatseejay/status/1137015840513986560 it might play one of the recordings from Ahsoka]], who explains that her white kyber crystals were originally from the Dark Side, referencing the events of ''[[Literature/StarWarsAhsoka Ahsoka]]''. In a few other voice recordings, she'll also mention [[spoiler:[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars her departure from the Jedi Order]]]], and how she later became [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Fulcrum]].

* FakeCrossover: The California version of ''Galaxy's Edge'' introduced Boba Fett, Fennec Shand, and Din Djarin carrying Grogu as walk-around characters in 2022, and Din and Grogu started appearing in Florida in 2023. However, ''Series/TheMandalorian'' and ''Series/TheBookOfBobaFett'' take place 30 years before the rest of the land's setting.

* WelcomeToCorneria: The stormtroopers, Kylo Ren, Boba Fett and Din Djarin only speak in prerecorded voice lines, controlled through hand gestures and hidden triggers in their suits.

** The Intersystem Transport Ship parked at the base has doors on both sides of its hull, and guests enter the vehicle through the right-side doors, before a preshow plays on the interior. Savvy guests will quickly guess that the "vehicle" doesn't actually move and is basically just a hallway between the right-side doors (leading to the outside) and the left-side doors (deeper into the ride building), especially given that Disney has used this exact same "fake elevator" trick multiple times before to ''simulate'' motion with a static room interior. [[spoiler:So it comes as a huge shock to first-time guests when they exit through the ''right''-side doors, the same ones they just entered through, which open to reveal not the outside of the ride building but ''the interior of a First Order Star Destroyer'' guarded by a huge legion of stormtroopers. This is accomplished by having the transport ship interior actually be placed on a turntable. The room turns slowly, synced up to the pre-show flight video in a way that helps to mask the motion. Once it's mad the turn, the door can reopen into the ride building while a second ship interior on the same turntable has moved in place to accept the next group of riders.]]

Unlike its sister attraction ''Ride/StarTours'', which plays fast and loose with continuity, the land is intended to fit within the current series canon.

** The starliner ''Halcyon'' has been in operation for nearly 300 years and contains 13 decks' worth of amenities, including a "climate simulator", a nightclub with a full bar, a fairly big lounge to eat meals, and a personal assistance droid who can be contacted from your cabin at any time.

The Florida version of the land also includes ''Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser'', which opened in March 2022.
