With only a few days left until Star Wars fans will be able to explore Disney’s Galaxy’s Edge extension to their California theme park, the “Mouse House” has shared these brilliant behind the scenes images that have our mouths watering.

This awesome minute-long short shows off the “epic” nature of the land, which is the single biggest park expansion that the Imagineers have ever embarked on. It’s a tantalizing look at what’s to come including, of course, the Millenium Falcon, which visitors will be able to pilot in the new Smugglers Run attraction. This ride combines immersive storytelling with “intergalactic gameplay” to make you the hero of your very own Star Wars adventure.

… Are we dreaming?

The team at Disney also released new images that honestly have us packing our bags right now.

There are plenty of new looks at locations and eateries like the Marketplace, the Falcon, and the Docking Bay — which will play a large part in the adventures to come when the park opens to the public at the end of this month.

One of our most highly anticipated parts of the park is the inclusion of the iconic Blue Milk, and we get a look at the dairy-free treat here alongside a familiar looking green beverage.

There was also a tease of the other big attraction, Rise of the Resistance, which will open later this year at both parks!

Here’s how to visit Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.

A really cool reveal from the official materials was the cast member costumes which will help craft the immersive world of Batuu.

We don’t know about you but these have got us all worked up for the Galaxy’s Edge grand opening! Grab your X-wing pilot helmet and as many credits as you can carry. Until then… May the Force be with you… Always.
