A trip to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is already packed with adventure—from dodging stormtroopers to customizing your very own lightsaber—but now there’s something new catching guests’ attention. Not a new droid. Not a secret mission. It’s construction walls.
Yep, something mysterious has quietly kicked off near the border of Toy Story Land and Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and fans are already buzzing about what it could be.
A Land That’s Stayed Pretty Quiet—Until Now
Since it opened in 2019, Galaxy’s Edge has remained mostly unchanged. Sure, it’s still one of the most visually stunning lands Disney’s ever created, but aside from a few added snack items and roaming characters, there’s been little in the way of major updates. That’s why these new walls have everyone talking.
They’re not your typical refurbishment walls. They blend right into the Galaxy’s Edge vibe—painted with the same worn stone patterns and weathered textures we’ve come to associate with Batuu. It feels intentional. It feels like it’s the start of something.
What Could It Be?
Of course, no official announcement has been made, but the theories are flying faster than the Millennium Falcon.
Some think it could be a new snack stand, which honestly wouldn’t be a bad thing. Galaxy’s Edge is popular, and the two main food spots—Docking Bay 7 and Ronto Roasters—can get slammed. Even a walk-up booth with themed snacks or drinks could help ease the crowd pressure while adding a fresh experience for fans.
But others are dreaming bigger.
Could This Be the Start of a Long-Awaited Expansion?
Remember those early rumors about a third ride in Galaxy’s Edge? Fans haven’t forgotten. And with Epic Universe now open just down the highway, Disney might be looking to keep things competitive. A new attraction, meet-and-greet area, or themed shop could fit right into the land without needing a total overhaul.
Even if it’s just a cleverly themed refreshment station, Disney has been known to use small changes as a springboard for bigger ones. Adjusting guest traffic flow and building hype might all be part of a broader plan.
The Timing Feels… Intentional
Why start construction in the middle of summer? Because everyone’s watching. With peak crowds comes peak attention, and Disney knows how to stir excitement without saying a word.
So far, they haven’t confirmed anything. But the wall is there. The location is strategic. The design is telling.
Keep an eye out next time you pass through Andy’s Backyard into Batuu. Something’s definitely happening—and we’re all waiting to see what it becomes.
