Salut à tous,
On se retrouve aujourd'hui pour la deuxième mise à jour sur les parcs Galaxy Edge et on va parler de leur contenu.
Voici ce qui a été dévoilé ces derniers mois concernant le contenu des lands. Tout d'abord, il faut savoir qu'ils seront légèrement différents entre les deux parcs au niveau disposition (dû à leur emplacement) mais le contenu sera quant à lui identique et leur taille similaire, environ 5,5 hectares (= 14 acres). Je précise aussi que je vais utiliser droite et gauche dans la suite de l'article car est et ouest serait trompeur vu que selon l'orientation du parc (nord à Disneyland et sud à Disneyworld, cf. news d'hier), il faudrait les inverser à chaque fois. Donc quand on sera face au parc, vous aurez à votre droite la partie consacrée au Premier Ordre tandis qu'à votre gauche se trouvera la partie consacrée à la Résistance. Au centre se trouvera une zone neutre, véritable lieu de passage pour tous les marchands, contrebandiers et autres aventuriers.
Le cadre du land est donc la planète Batuu qui a entièrement été imaginée pour l'occasion. Le but de cette planète est d'immerger totalement ses visiteurs dans le monde de Star Wars. Pour cela les créateurs effectueront un retour aux sources de Star Wars, Ralph McQuarrie en tête (j'ai déjà entendu ça quelque part), pour obtenir un lieu qui contient l'Adn de Star Wars. Batuu sera un avant-poste de la galaxie avec sa propre histoire, une nature exotique et mystérieuse et un peu de danger. La partie centrale contenant les magasins sera inspirée du Maroc mais aussi d'Istanbul et de leurs bazars. Mais un bazar à la sauce Star Wars avec des décors vieillis, des droïdes au coin de la rue, etc. Certains personnages comme BB-8 ou Chewbacca se baladeront également dans le land. Les marchands vendront des objets qui donneront l'impression d'être faits main et ils ne seront disponibles qu'à cet endroit.
Au niveau des attractions, elles seront au nombre de deux. La première vous permettra de piloter le Faucon Millenium tandis que la seconde vous placera au milieu d'une bataille entre la Résistance et le Premier Ordre. Elles seront toutes deux au fond des lands, il faudra donc les traverser entièrement pour s'y rendre.
Voici les nouvelles informations qui ont été dévoilées :
En ce qui concerne les décors, ils seront présents dans l'entièreté du land et il a déjà été dévoilé qu'on pourra visiter une cantina, un marché, un magasin de droïdes ainsi qu'un garage de landspeeders en son centre. La partie de droite sera plus boisée et contiendra un vaisseau Jedi tandis que la partie gauche contiendra des bâtiments investis par le Premier Ordre. Des X-Wings taille réelle seront présents dans le land ainsi qu'un Faucon Millenium en tous points identiques à celui des films.
On pourra donc trouver :
C'en est fini pour aujourd'hui, on se retrouve demain pour la suite des informations sur ce futur land des parcs Disney.
PS : je vous rappelle que la prochaine sortie SWU à Disneyland Paris aura lieu le samedi 10 février. Les inscriptions ont lieu ici.
Sneak A Peek At The Toydarian Wares Coming To Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
Just moments ago, Chairman of Walt Disney Parks & Resorts Bob Chapek shared an update on the progress of the highly anticipated land, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, and shared a sneak peek at the unique Toydarian merchandise guests will find exclusively in the land.
At Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, guests will visit the planet of Batuu, a remote outpost on the galaxy’s edge that was once a busy crossroads along the old sub-lightspeed trade routes. Here, guests will find themselves in the middle of the action at two attractions that take detail and immersion to the next level: one that lets guests take the controls of Millennium Falcon on a customized secret mission, and an epic Star Wars adventure that puts guests in the middle of a climactic battle between the First Order and the Resistance.
Guests will also be able to explore a street market run by a Toydarian, a character first introduced in “Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.” Among his wares will be handcrafted toys made by local artisans, like those seen above.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is set to open at both the Disneyland and the Walt Disney World Resorts in 2019.

VIDEO: Flyover the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Construction Site
While the highly anticipated Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge lands won’t debut to Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resort guests until 2019, eager fans can take a voyage over the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge construction site – right now!
At Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, guests will be transported to the planet of Batuu, a remote outpost on the galaxy’s edge that was once a busy crossroads along the old sub-lightspeed trade routes. Here, guests will find themselves in the middle of the action at two attractions that take detail and immersion to the next level: one that lets guests take the controls of Millennium Falcon on a customized secret mission, and an epic Star Wars adventure that puts guests in the middle of a climactic battle between the First Order and the Resistance.
As you can see in this video, which Bob Iger shared this morning during the 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is shaping up to be one of the most detailed and immersive lands ever created in Disney Parks history.

Walt Disney Imagineering, NVIDIA Develop New Tech to Enable Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Millennium Falcon Attraction for Disney Parks
NVIDIA Quadro and Epic Games Unreal Engine multi-GPU customizations benefit all Unreal users.
When Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opens next year at Disneyland Resort and the Walt Disney World Resort, park guests will visit the planet of Batuu, a remote outpost that was once a busy crossroads along the old sub-lightspeed trade routes. But you don’t have to wait another year to get a glimpse of it.
An in-progress animated sequence from the Millennium Falcon attraction was unveiled today. Produced by ILMxLAB and running in real time, it gives fans the first ever glimpse of the incredible detail and immersion the attraction will offer.
Walt Disney Imagineering teamed with NVIDIA and Epic Games to develop new technology to drive its attraction. When it launches, riders will enter a cockpit powered with a single BOXX chassis packed with eight high-end NVIDIA Quadro P6000 GPUs, connected via Quadro SLI.
Quadro Sync synchronizes five projectors for the creation of dazzling ultra-high resolution, perfectly timed displays to fully immerse the riders in the word of planet Batuu.
Working with NVIDIA and Epic Games, the Imagineering team created a custom multi-GPU implementation for Unreal Engine. This new code was returned to the Epic Games team and will help influence how multi-GPUs function for their engine.
“We worked with NVIDIA engineers to use Quadro-specific features like Mosaic and cross-GPU reads to develop a renderer that had performance characteristics we needed,” says Bei Yang, technology studio executive at Disney Imagineering. “Using the eight connected GPUs allowed us to achieve performance unlike anything before.”
Yang and Principal Software Developer Eric Smolikowski dove into more details during their GTC talk, “Walt Disney Imagineering Technology Preview: Real-time Rendering of a Galaxy Far, Far Away,” and discussed how Disney Imagineering took advantage of the latest NVIDIA technology and the technical modifications they made for the Unreal Engine, which allows eight GPUs to render at unprecedented quality and speed.
