Also revealed is a new featurette about the movie with never-before-seen footage from the film, a glimpse behind the scenes during recording sessions, plus comments from director Jon Favreau and members of the voice cast.
Disney’s “The Lion King,” directed by Jon Favreau, journeys to the African savanna where a future king is born. Simba idolizes his father, King Mufasa, and takes to heart his own royal destiny. But not everyone in the kingdom celebrates the new cub’s arrival. Scar, Mufasa’s brother and former heir to the throne have plans of his own. The battle for Pride Rock is ravaged with betrayal, tragedy, and drama, ultimately resulting in Simba’s exile. With help from a curious pair of newfound friends, Simba will have to figure out how to grow up and take back what is rightfully his. Staying true to the classic story, Favreau utilizes pioneering filmmaking techniques to bring the iconic characters to the big screen in a whole new way.
“The Lion King” opens on July 19. Tickets are available for advance purchase Now.

The world of Batuu is known to be unpredictable, with the planetary weather being no exception in Black Spire Outpost. Shortly after Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opened to the public, travelers were given a rare opportunity to see the off world destination in a whole new light, thanks to some stormy weather patterns developing on the other side of the galaxy.
The new weather also gives everyone their first look at some of the new outwear accessories for Cast Members who inhabit Black Spire Outpost, which appear to be heavily inspired by the Rebellion camouflage seen in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.
The Rebellion is remembered in this all weather costume accessory that has made its first appearance in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
From what we were able to experience, Galaxy’s Edge looks spectacular in this new element, bringing another layer of realism to the immersive power of the land. From the towering spires near the Millennium Falcon, to the heightened colors brought out in the foliage of the Resistance encampment, every inch pops and dazzles.
The sun peaks through the misty clouds beyond Black Spire Outpost’s Spaceport at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.Travelers venture into the stormy day ahead at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
The weather pattern is unusual for this time of year, no matter what planet you are from. Not to worry for any off world visitors looking for those bright Batuuvian suns, as they will most likely return with lightspeed precision. For now, it’s great to soak in the misty terrain and gain a fresh perspective on what’s quickly becoming home to many of us throughout the galaxy.

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is now open to the public and ready for an explosive summer that is sure to shatter expectations across the stars and beyond. Yet, with that popularity and demand, it appears that the newest Disney Parks expansion is having a difficult time keeping up in terms of their merchandise.
Since it opened May to limited reservation only crowds, the land has been selling product faster than Anakin can race his pod down the desert sands of Tatooine. Items have been quickly disappearing, such as Han’s lucky dice from Solo: A Star Wars Story as well as his handy card game, Sabacc. Yet, the huge surge of desire from fans for merchandise is finally starting to gain attention in bigger ways, as even more items are finding their way off the shelves and nowhere to be seen throughout Black Spire Outpost.
With limited stocks available, guests are now given the option to purchase Disney Parks brand lightsabers, with the same features as the Galaxy’s Edge legacy collection.
Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities is being hit the hardest, as they have now sold out of all available Kyber Crystals in addition to many of their prized legacy lightsabers. It has gotten to the point where Disney Parks labeled merchandise is being brought in to help relief the depleted stock piles.
Comparing the available legacy lightsaber collection on opening night of Galaxy’s Edge reservation-only previews versus the land’s public debut in June.
As of June 24th’s public debut, guests can choose from Ahsoka Tano’s lightsaber duo, Darth Maul’s single blade, as well as the Jedi Temple Guard saber. All other models are completely sold out, with Cast Members alerting purchasers they are not sure when the popular replicas will be back in stock. For now, Disney Parks branded sabers will be sold for Kylo Ren, Rey, as well as Darth Vader. The models, which were previously available in Tomorrowland, have the same feature and design as their legacy counterparts.
This Porg looks a bit different than the rest!
In addition, some other Disney and Star Wars labeled items are finding their way into Batuu, including plush figures for Chewbacca and Porgs. Though there appear to be plenty of the beloved Last Jedi creatures in stock at the Creature Stall, the Disney branded items may be an indication that more and more items are selling fast. Help is on the way though, as Cast have confirmed that more shipments are being prepared for a trip to Galaxy’s Edge. Eager fans will have to wait in the meantime, which includes the return of Disney’s popular Galaxy’s Edge exclusive Batuuan Spira gift card. The unit was completely sold out prior to the land’s public debut, which demonstrates the full power of the fan base Disney is working to serve.
This Galaxy’s Edge Exclusive Disney Gift Card is out of this world and currently out of stock planet wide!
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge continues to provide plenty of surprises and it will be interesting to see how things play out in the coming weeks. Make sure to stay tuned for even more news from Black Spire Outpost and check out our full Galaxy’s Edge coverage!
