Yesterday, during Day 3 of Star Wars Celebration Europe, several exciting announcements were made at the Disney Parks: Where Star Wars Comes to Life panel. Let's talk about some of them!
New characters will be appearing on Batuu! No names were revealed but I would guess that we might see Bo-Katan and Ahsoka Tano at some point. Either way, I'm excited to see who else we'll have the opportunity to meet and interact with. In case you're wondering, Disney made a statement last year regarding the Star Wars timeline at Galaxy's Edge when it was announced that The Mandalorian and Grogu would be arriving on planet. You can read it below!
We are committed to the long history of Batuu and the collection of amazing characters who inhabit the outpost including our legacy characters and original characters and know that we will feel the same about new and future characters from the ever-expanding galaxy of Star Wars storytelling. While we as visitors may be able to experience different stories throughout Star Wars history, the characters on Batuu can not. They will remain in their specific story and timeline and won’t intersect with other characters or stories that would not be appropriate for them.”
The upcoming animated series Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures will showcase the characters on Batuu! I think it will be really fun to see Batuu in a colorful and different way. I'd love to see them drink blue and green milk! The series debuts on May the 4th on Disney+ and Disney Junior. You can watch a handful of shorts before the premiere here. I've seen them, and they're very cute. Nubs is already my favorite!
Buckle up because Star Tours is about to introduce us to new stories and characters in 2024! The planets will consist of places that we have not yet seen in Star Wars storytelling. This exciting update will also be available at Disney Parks in Florida and France!
