What it's like
Editorial description, not a review — facts are in the table above
Disney calls Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance a massive attraction with multiple ride systems, set in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland Park. The story recruits riders for a secret Resistance mission from a hideout in the forest outside Black Spire Outpost.
Disney's page describes the transport being captured by a First Order Star Destroyer filled with stormtroopers and Kylo Ren, and a covert Resistance team, including Rey and BB-8, giving riders a chance to escape.
