Attention Star Wars fans! The moment we’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived—Luke Skywalker has officially made his debut at Galaxy’s Edge in both Disneyland and Walt Disney World! Whether you’re a lifelong fan or a newcomer to the saga, this is a huge deal for anyone who’s ever dreamed of meeting the legendary Jedi Master in person. Let’s break down what this means for your next trip to Batuu!
A New Hope for Galaxy’s Edge Fans
For years, fans have been hoping to see Luke wandering the Black Spire Outpost, and now that dream has come true! Sporting his iconic Jedi robes and wielding his legendary green lightsaber, Luke’s presence is nothing short of epic.
Luke appears alongside Grogu (a.k.a. Baby Yoda) in select encounters, and the pair is truly a sight to behold. Guests lucky enough to spot them have reported feeling like they just walked into a scene straight out of The Mandalorian or The Book of Boba Fett. It’s the kind of Disney magic that makes Galaxy’s Edge even more immersive and unforgettable.

What to Expect from Your Encounter with Luke
Luke’s character interactions are designed to feel authentic to his story arc, and his calm, wise demeanor instantly transports you to a galaxy far, far away. Whether he’s giving advice on mastering the Force or sharing stories from his Jedi journey, every encounter feels like a special moment.
The addition of Grogu makes the interaction even more heartwarming. The little guy’s ears perk up as Luke speaks, and he even reacts to guests who try to connect with him. Disney has really knocked it out of the park with the attention to detail and storytelling here.
Where to Find Luke and Grogu
While Luke and Grogu don’t have a fixed meet-and-greet location (gotta keep those Jedi on the move!), you can typically spot them wandering around the Resistance Encampment and occasionally near the Millennium Falcon. Keep your eyes peeled, as they don’t stick around for long—Luke is, after all, a wanted man in the galaxy!
Pro tip: Make sure to have your camera ready at all times, as you never know when they’ll show up! Fans have been sharing their interactions online, and every single video just radiates pure Star Wars joy.
Why This Is a Big Deal
This is the first time a “classic” Star Wars character has made a major appearance at Galaxy’s Edge, which has mostly focused on characters from the sequel trilogy and The Mandalorian. Fans have been vocal about wanting to see more legendary characters, and Disney has finally delivered.
The response has been overwhelmingly positive, with social media buzzing about how perfectly Luke fits into the atmosphere of Batuu. It’s safe to say that Galaxy’s Edge just got even more legendary!
May the Force Be with You!
If you’re planning a trip to Disneyland or Walt Disney World soon, be on the lookout for Luke and Grogu! This dynamic duo brings a whole new layer of magic to Galaxy’s Edge, and you won’t want to miss it.
