Standing before an imposing Star Wars themed building, the narrator finds themselves drawn to the Dark Side of the Galactic Force. Disney Hollywood Studios in Florida is home to Galaxy's Edge, a place that is guaranteed to "Impress" any Star Wars fan. All-inclusive, it keeps young recruits young, yet with an allure that is ‘Excellent’. You are not alone if the Force beckons you to join a “dog guy” wearing a Stormtrooper costume.
A Force Wishing
A themed world alone sets Galaxy’s Edge apart. The creator’s place of choice stands in the Disney Hollywood Studios complex in Florida. Although this could describe Disneyland, the tagging confirms the locale. Orange County seems irrelevant. The sheer immersive qualities of the Galaxy’s Edge are its unique draw. Disney fans know that their options have spread across Disney World. Disneyland Park and Disney’s California Adventure Park are other choices in California. The Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Pandora, and others are other options in Florida. Galaxy’s Edge is a separate reality within Disney World, imbued with the same reverence treated to the Hogwarts Manor in Universal Studios. Each of the two parks operates distinctly from the other. But like Hogwart’s, Galaxy’s Edge seeks out your soul.
The Everlasting Charm of Galaxy’s Edge
Disney Hollywood Studios’ Galaxy’s Edge is a place to escape. It exists in the line of the everlasting charm of Star Wars. Disney is no longer a children’s cartoon, either. Even if you 'love' Star Wars, would you 'love' Disney too? Star Wars Galaxy's Edge is its own world. The door that separates Galaxy’s Edge from the rest of the Disney amusement park is a portal to a realm where the rules of the universe do not apply. There is also a different angle to consider: the power of the audience and the importance of the force within the galaxy.
