Black Spire Outpost Will Be the Village in Walt Disney World’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge

Star Wars: Galactic Nights took place tonight at Disney’s Hollywood Studios tonight.  It appears at the panel discussions at the event included some exciting new news about Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.  It was confirmed that the village in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge will be called Black Spire Outpost.  Of course there is a special meaning and story behind the name, as we have come to expect with Disney.

Here is the story behind how the name was selected from Disney Parks Blog:

“The largest settlement on the planet Batuu, Black Spire Outpost is an infamous stop for traders, adventurers, and smugglers traveling around the Outer Rim and Wild Space. Off the beaten path, this outpost has become a haven for the galaxy’s most colorful — and notorious — characters. Widely known for the petrified remains of its once towering ancient trees, the spires now stand guard across the river valleys and plains and have long captured the imagination of travelers to this planet. To the first settlers, these petrified spires became more than just landmarks; they became the heart of the outpost itself.”

Of course as we hear about any new details related to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, we will update you all.  We can’t wait to see what else this fantastic new land has to offer.

About Christy Caby

I am a diehard Disney fanatic! I fell in love with all things Disney from an early age and that only increased once I first visited Walt Disney World! It led me to complete a yearlong Disney College Program working at merchandise locations within Disney’s Hollywood Studios (Disney-MGM Studios at that time) and I worked for Disney Parks & Resorts Technology in Project/Program Management. Now I get to write about Disney and help others plan their magical vacations! Disney holds a special place in the hearts of my entire family as my husband proposed there, we honeymooned there, took trips while pregnant with each of my boys and have visited with them many, many times from 8 weeks old through now. One of my favorite memories from each trip is always the look on my kids’ faces the first time they see the castle. I’d love to help you plan your magical vacation!
