Disney has unveiled a group of new characters who guests will interact with during the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hotel experience at Walt Disney World Resort.
Visitors will meet familiar characters from the world of Star Wars, including Rey, Kylo Ren and Chewbacca. They will also get to know a host of new characters created for the attraction.
“There could be a galactic superstar who entertains you on the first night but then also tasks you with helping to smuggle something,” said Sara Thacher, senior R&D Imagineer. “You never know what you’re going to wind up around every corner with.”
