The concept

After a series of mishaps, your ship departs too early. The droid C-3PO takes the controls. Then the ship is intercepted by the Empire or the First Order, searching for a Rebel spy. To escape, you fly to the farthest corners of the galaxy.

The Experience

A motion simulator, 3D images, Audio-Animatronics and effects in the cockpit make it feel real. You might encounter Kylo Ren, Boba Fett, Poe Dameron, Princess Leia or Yoda. Ahsoka Tano, Cassian Andor, the Mandalorian and Grogu can also make an appearance.

Ride again

The scenes are chosen at random. With more than 250 variations, every flight is different.

Sensitive to motion?

The simulator shakes quite a bit. If you get motion sickness easily, give it a miss.

Lightning Lane

This attraction is part of Lightning Lane Multi Pass, which lets you choose a time slot in advance and skip the regular queue. You buy passes in the My Disney Experience app; according to Disney, visitors from Europe can only do this after arriving in the US.
