Greetings from Batuu
Along the galaxy's outer rim is a destination known as Batuu. This frontier of Wild Space is an uncharted region beyond all known star systems. The planet is the home to Black Spire Outpost, an infamous port for smugglers, traders and those wishing for adventure to avoid any unnecessary encounters with the First Order.
Guests will encounter aliens, droids and other inhabitants of the planet. Guests can search for rare and unique goods, discover out of this world food and drinks or join a crew seeking adventure. Guests will also find some familiar faces on the planet like Rey, Chewbacca and Kylo Ren with his Stormtroopers.
