Hello again and welcome to our weekly roundup of news from a Galaxy Far, Far Away!

This week’s news is particularly Disney-centric.

Star Wars cast and crew are among this year’s Disney Legend Award winners! The D23 expo is fast approaching and this year’s Disney Legends award recipients have just been announced. Among the honorees are Star Wars alum James Earl Jones (Darth Vader) and The Mandalorian showrunner John Favreau. D23 is Disney’s marquee fan event and the 2019 convention will be held in the Anaheim Convention Center August 23-25, 2019. Tickets are still available through the D23 website.

And with a mere 11 days until the opening of Galaxy’s Edge at the Disneyland Resort, Disney announced just today the Star Wars Datapad upgrade to the Play Disney Parks app. Launching in August (presumably in concert with the opening of the Galaxy’s Edge expansion in Walt Disney World, Orlando), the app will contain tools to help guests navigate not only Batuu and environs, but also to integrate their experience in a galaxy far, far away into their time in the rest of the Disney parks.

Reservations for Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland are required through June 23, after which the land will open to all ticketed Disneyland guests.

That’s all I have for this week.

As always, send Star Wars news tips to Tosche Station, and send Galaxy’s Edge photos to @MandaTheGinger

MTFBWY!
