Disneyland’s Galaxy’s Edge Loosens Star Wars Timeline with Luke Skywalker Addition

The iconic Jedi Master will appear during the Season of the Force event, signaling a major shift in the park's approach to Star Wars storytelling.

Disneyland's Galaxy's Edge will feature a young Luke Skywalker meet-and-greet during the Season of the Force event from March 28 to May 11, 2025.
This marks a departure from the park's strict adherence to the Star Wars timeline set between 'The Last Jedi' and 'The Rise of Skywalker.'
The move follows earlier additions of characters like The Mandalorian and Grogu, which began to blur the canonical boundaries of the park's storytelling.
The inclusion of Luke Skywalker opens the door for more characters from the original trilogy, such as Darth Vader and Han Solo, to potentially appear in the future.
Disney has yet to clarify whether this change represents a permanent shift or is limited to the seasonal event, raising questions about the park's long-term narrative approach.
