Fans eagerly awaiting the opening of the long-delayed Rise of the Resistance attraction at Star Wars Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland and Walt Disney World will have to wait a few parsecs longer.
Rise of the Resistance, which Disney says will "blur the lines between fantasy and reality and will put guests in the middle of a climactic battle between the First Order and the Resistance," will open Dec. 5, 2019 at Walt Disney World and Jan. 17, 2020 at Disneyland.
The 14-acre Galaxy's Edge themed land opened at the end of May at Disneyland in California. A near-identical version is set to open Aug. 29 in Florida.

Disney Imagineers have described Rise of the Resistance as the most technologically-complex ride they've ever built, with guests walking and riding on multiple vehicles as they are "captured" onboard a Star Destroyer before finding a way to escape from bad guy Kylo Ren.
The various "first of its kind" ride systems, animatronics and special effects have taken more time than expected to coordinate perfectly, a Disney source said Thursday.
Disney is the parent company of ABC News.
