Your next visit to Black Spire Outpost may feel different. New updates are coming to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland. Beginning on April 29, the Star Wars-themed land will expand its storytelling timeline to incorporate elements of the original film trilogy including characters like Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker as well as new food and merchandise offerings. Marvel Comics will reveal the official story of the Empire and Rebels’ encounter on Batuu in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge – Echoes of the Empire, a tie-in comic series launching in April. The five-issue saga will be written by Ethan Sacks, who penned the Galaxy’s Edge tie-in comic series back when the land first opened in 2019, and drawn by artists Jethro Morales and Roi Mercado.
