Leaving the loading area, the guests ride past several empty transports of the same type as their own (in actuality, these vehicles are going to the loading area for the next set of riders), but avoid raising suspicion from them when their vehicle's onboard R5 units claim to the others that they're conducting a prisoner transfer.

For the bulk of the ride, Bek guides guests as they make their escape. After the two leave the interrogation room to return to the bridge of the ship, Resistance fighters who have boarded the Destroyer cut a hole in the cell's wall, leading guests into the load area where they board a pair of First Order transports, each driven by an R5 astromech droid.Īfter boarding the transports, Finn informs guests that their vehicles' droids have been reprogrammed to help them escape by taking them to the escape pods and flying them back to Batuu. The queue continues through the hallway and leads into a prison cell, where the riders are watched by stormtroopers and interrogated by General Hux and Kylo Ren. Aboard the Star Destroyer, the riders are taken through a hangar where a detachment of stormtroopers awaits.

Poe leaves, promising to come back with reinforcements. Poe’s wingmen are both killed and the guests’ ship is subsequently caught in the Star Destroyer's tractor beam. In space, the convoy is attacked by a squadron of TIE fighters. The doors then open and the queue leads to a Resistance Intersystem Transport Ship.Īfter guests board the ship, they depart the Forest Outpost. Nien Nunb and Lieutenant Bek are tasked with transporting the guests, escorted by Poe's squadron of X-wings. Believing the base to be no longer safe, Rey explains to the guests that they will be boarding transports to rendezvous with Leia Organa on the planet Pacara. She explains that a group of Resistance agents, including Finn, have boarded a Star Destroyer that is en route to the Batuu system. In the queue, the guests encounter BB-8 and receive a holographic transmission from Rey. Guests enter the queue through a Resistance base. The queue itself plays a substantial part in the attraction. The Hollywood Studios version debuted to media event attendees on December 3 and 4th, when the attraction was dedicated in a presentation featuring full-sized X-Wing fighters in drone form taking off from behind the Batuu spires before jumping to lightspeed, followed by a stunt show in which Vi Moradi fought a First Order officer while Rey engaged in a lightsaber duel with Kylo Ren on an upper catwalk.
