When Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opened in May and August of 2019, Star Wars fans were thrilled at the chance to pilot the Millennium Falcon, escape from the First Order, and interact with Stormtroopers on Batuu. Five years later, both lands are still popular and draw big lines for the two attractions. There’s a lot to like from every visit to the Black Spire Outpost. Even so, it’s fun to think about ways that Disney can make it even better. That’s the goal of this podcast.

This episode of the Tomorrow Society Podcast is all about updating Galaxy’s Edge. My goal isn’t to criticize; instead, I want to celebrate what works now and the potential for this area. I’ve recruited some former podcast guests to offer their ideas. Your submissions are also a big part of this show. There’s so much to cover and different ways to change all aspects of the lands.

A lot of the comments about updating Galaxy's Edge focused on Smuggler's Run.

I received many replies on ways to update Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run. It provides a fun experience, particularly if you’re the pilots, but there are ways to make it stronger. I didn’t hear as much about Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance; however, I still spend time on that headliner. There’s also possibilities with dining given the size and scale. There’s plenty to cover! I hope that you enjoy this different type of podcast and all the creative ways to update Galaxy’s Edge.

Rise of the Resistance is amazing, but Galaxy's Edge could use some updating.
