John Boyega Shares Sneak Peek of Finn’s Appearance in Galaxy’s Edge


John Boyega shared a snap of what's to come at the highly-anticipated Rise of the Resistance ride set to open sometime later this year at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. In the photo shared on his Instagram page, Boyega may be seen in character as Finn wearing a Stormtrooper suit.

According to reports from Deseret News, the ride is expected to put fans in the middle of a battle between the Resistance and the First Order. Its official description according to Disney Parks' blog reads as follows:

"When it opens, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance will blur the lines between fantasy and reality and will put guests in the middle of a climactic battle between the First Order and the Resistance. Guests will be recruited to join Rey and General Organa at a secret base. Along the way, they will be captured by a First Order Star Destroyer. With the help of some heroes of the Resistance, they break out and must escape the Star Destroyer, protect the secret base, and stay one step ahead of Kylo Ren."


The Rise of the Resistance will launch at Walt Disney World resort on Dec. 5, and at the Disneyland Park on Jan. 17, 2020. The previously mentioned report from Disney Parks' blog also goes on to say that once work has been completed at Walt Disney World, Imagineers are scheduled to return to California for the January opening.

Boyega first appeared as Finn in 2015's Star Wars: The Force Awakens. He will reprise the role once more for The Rise of Skywalker which will premiere this coming December 20.
