Is Star Wars at Epcot?

Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Orlando, Florida. Walt Disney World Resort.



No, Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is located at Disney's Hollywood Studios, not Epcot. However, Epcot occasionally features minor Star Wars-themed merchandise or "After Hours" event tie-ins. In 2026, the big Star Wars news is actually happening at Disneyland Park in California, where "Galaxy's Edge" has officially expanded its timeline to include the original trilogy and characters like Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader. At Walt Disney World in Florida, if you want the full immersive Star Wars experience, you must visit Hollywood Studios to ride Rise of the Resistance and Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run. Epcot remains focused on its own unique flagship attractions like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and the newly completed Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana, which align with Epcot's themes of global culture and innovation rather than the Star Wars universe.
