US EditionDisneyland Unveils New Han Solo to Mixed Reviews: ‘Worst Wig Ever’
Disney says the character rollout will also add Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia as Galaxy's Edge shifts toward original trilogy favorites.
- On April 15, Disneyland announced Han Solo will appear at Galaxy's Edge starting April 29, 2026, marking a strategic shift to include original trilogy characters alongside the existing Resistance-era timeline.
- The park is expanding narrative focus beyond initial sequel-era constraints to include original trilogy icons like Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and Darth Vader to align with films fans grew up with.
- Following the April 15 social media reveal showcasing a classic costume, reactions were mixed; while some fans expressed excitement, others offered critical feedback, with user @knmwt15000 quipping it was the "Worst wig ever."
- Fans noted the difficulty of replicating the iconic performance of original actor Harrison Ford, with some observers arguing the portrayal creates an "uncanny valley" effect that makes the character feel less authentic.
- Guests can now encounter characters from different timelines within the same space as Galaxy's Edge integrates coexisting eras, aiming to create a more complete world for visitors starting later this month.
