Join the Resistance and battle the First Order. Action packed with 3D sets, holograms, screens, and animatronics. Impressive trackless vehicles and even a drop track motion simulator like Star Tours. Not gonna lie the life-size AT-AT and the room of Stormtroopers did make us want to turn to the dark side. The ride was running at a lower capacity than usual when we rode this. Still a great ride though.

This attraction—a combined trackless dark ride, walk-through, motion simulator, and drop ride system—puts guests into the middle of a battle between the Resistance and the First Order. Featuring four interworking ride systems in conjunction with Audio-Animatronics, practical sets, projection mapping and screen-based media, Rise of the Resistance is one of the most complex and advanced attractions designed by Walt Disney Imagineering, so complex that it even broke down during its early years.

Industrial Light & Magic created the CGI sequences for the attraction. The attraction was initially planned to open with Galaxy's Edge on opening day, but it was later announced that it had been delayed to "phase two". On July 11, 2019, the opening dates for Rise of the Resistance were revealed with Disney's Hollywood Studios' version opening first on December 5, 2019, followed by Disneyland's version opening on January 17, 2020. A media event for the attraction at Disney's Hollywood Studios was held from December 3–4, 2019 in which guests attending the event were able to experience the attraction. Disneyland's version opened right on schedule.

Make sure to watch till the end when we get yelled at by the First Order. Ha!
