Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is a dark ride in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. Guests join the Resistance, are captured by the First Order and escape through a Star Destroyer.

History

The Florida version opened on December 5, 2019, after a soft opening on December 3, a few months after the rest of Galaxy's Edge. It was designed by Walt Disney Imagineering; a second version operates at Disneyland in California.

The attraction combines several pre-shows with a trackless dark ride, motion-simulator scenes and a concealed drop sequence during the escape. The whole experience lasts about 18 minutes, and the minimum height is 40 inches.
