Disney’s ‘Rise of the Resistance’ Keeps Drawing Crowds Despite Sequel-Era Backlash

Many fans object to its sequel‑trilogy setting tied to The Rise of Skywalker’s 51% critics’ score.

Overview

  • Recent coverage says the flagship Galaxy’s Edge attraction remains in place with some of the park’s longest wait times, often rivaling newer rides.
  • Criticism centers on the ride’s reliance on the sequel trilogy, which many fans view as the franchise’s weakest era.
  • The attraction is widely praised for its engineering, including trackless vehicles, a full-scale Star Destroyer hangar set, and lifelike animatronics.
  • Reports note no plans from Disney to retheme or replace the ride, reflecting its sustained popularity with guests.
  • Galaxy’s Edge continues to offer a broader ecosystem of experiences, including Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, Star Tours, Savi’s Workshop, Droid Depot, and Oga’s Cantina.
