ORLANDO, Fla. — Attention Star Wars fans! Disney has announced the opening date for the other ride at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge.

Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance will debut at Disney's Hollywood Studios on December 5, Disney said Thursday. The ride will then debut at Disneyland in California on January 17, 2020.

Rise of the Resistance will put visitors in the middle of a battle between the First Order and the Resistance. 

With Thursday's announcement, Disney shared more details about the ride.

"Guests will be recruited to join Rey and General Organa at a secret base," according to a post on the official Disney Parks Blog. "Along the way, they will be captured by a First Order Star Destroyer. With the help of some heroes of the Resistance, they will break out and must escape the Star Destroyer, protect the secret base, and stay one step ahead of Kylo Ren."

When it opens, Rise of the Resistance will join the other ride at Galaxy's Edge, called Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run. In addition to the rides, visitors of the planet of Batuu, where Galaxy's Edge is set, can also sample blue milk, grab a drink at Oga's Cantina, and build their own lightsaber.
