Introduction to the World of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge

A long time ago, in a galaxy far away, the Galactic Republic maintained peace and order in the galaxy with Jedi knights and elected senators.

*During the prequel trilogy (Episodes I – III), the Sith ( the “dark side”) gain control of the Republic and form the Galactic Empire.

*In the original trilogy (Episodes IV-VI), the Rebellion fights against the empire and forms the New Republic.

*In the final trilogy (Episodes VII-IX), remnants of the Galactic Empire return as the First Order and attempt to gain back control of the galaxy. The Resistance rises up for a final battle.

Backstory

The Galaxy’s Edge storyline takes place between the events of Episodes VIII and IX.

Batuu is located on the Outer Rim of the galaxy. The Black Spire Outpost is a hideaway for smugglers. Just outside the village is rumored to be the hidden base of the Resistance fighters.

I was born and raised in Los Angeles to parents who enjoyed traveling - exploring sites, tasting local flavors, and experiencing traditions from other cultures. They introduced us to the world at a young age. That love to explore has continued, and the journey has led me to become a professional travel planner. I now get to share the world with not only my own family but also all the families who entrust their special vacations with me. #dreamjob
