Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge timeline expansion arrives before May the 4th

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- In a galaxy not too far away at the Disneyland Resort, "Star Wars" fans will have the chance to enjoy more eras at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge just in time for the "Star Wars" holiday, May the 4th.

Darth Vader and Imperial Stormtroopers, Leia Organa, Han Solo and Luke Skywalker will be joining the other popular roaming characters in the Outer Rim outpost.

Composer John Williams' scores will be playing throughout the Black Spire Outpost, using musical themes from the first six "Star Wars" movies.

Visitors will also get to see select shops updated for new storylines with First Order Cargo transforming to Black Spire Surplus and lots of curiosities and artifacts at Dok-Ondar's Den of Antiquities.

New merchandise will also be available to purchase in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. The Aurebesh Collection puts an exciting spin on the iconic Star Wars logo because it is written in Aurebesh. Other new must-haves include the Salvaged Protocol Droid Bucket, Bantha Sipper, Lightsaber Swizzle Sticks and more.

Plus, fan-favorite Hyperspace Mountain returns to Tomorrowland in the Disneyland park starting today. The thrilling adventure offers a high-speed "Star Wars" journey through swarms of Rebel X-wing starfighters and Imperial TIE fighters alongside the Rebel Alliance.

The Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge expanded timeline begins at Disneyland April 29.

In case that's not enough "Star Wars" news, fans can partake in a new mission at Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run on May 22. The mission will celebrate the release of Lucasfilm's "Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu," showing off potentially new adventures on Bespin, Coruscant or the wreckage of the second Death Star above Endor.

The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of Lucasfilm, Disneyland and this ABC station.
