The new land was built to be an immersive experience that makes guests feel they are part of the Star Wars universe.

Two of the most technologically-advanced rides ever created by Disney Imagineers will whisk visitors to new thrills.

Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run is a flight simulator that allows people to actually fly the fastest ship in the galaxy, while "Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance" is being called a battle escape attraction.

If you can't wait until late August to experience the new land, you can head to Disneyland in California where that park's version of Galaxy's Edge will open May 31.
