There are quite a few celebrity fans in the galaxy!
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge opens to the public at Disneyland in California on Friday and at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Florida on Aug. 29, but before then, ET, as well as some lucky fans -- including Brie Larson and Kerry Washington -- got to experience the magic at Wednesday's opening ceremony.
Larson couldn't help but document her experience on social media. "Serving Jedi realness this summer," she captioned a shot of herself in a full Jedi getup -- which her followers jokingly asked if she got from her Captain Marvel co-star, Samuel L. Jackson, who starred in 1999's The Phantom Menace.
"The force is strong ya’ll!!!!!! #starwarsgalaxysedge," she captioned another shot of her lightsaber battle.
Washington, meanwhile, shared her pics with a stormtrooper and Chewbacca. "Thank you for having us!!!!!! Opening night at #starwars land inside @disneyland ? EPIC NIGHT! SWIPE!!!! So brilliant. I think I REALLY want to be an imagineer in my next life! Pure magic," she wrote alongside her post.
Basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Houston Rockets star Chris Paul were also seen at the park's opening, which featured a reunion between Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Star Wars creator George Lucas. The trio helped Disney CEO Bob Iger finally unveil the park's largest land ever -- 14 acres of total Jedi paradise.
Reservations are required to enter Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland Park between May 31 and June 23. Following the main attraction, Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run, a second attraction, called Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, will open by the end of 2019.
