One of this year’s most anticipated films is the 9th installment in the Skywalker saga, Star Wars Episode IX. While the film is highly anticipated, there may be another Star Wars opening date fans are anticipating a bit more. Walt Disney Land and World is set to open the highly anticipated, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.

First reported by StarWars.com on Monday, The five-issue miniseries, will center around the Black Spire Outpost on Batuu, the same seedy Outer Rim locale park guests will explore when Galaxy’s Edge opens.

“He’s a mysterious Ithorian who is the proprietor of the most notorious antiquities shop in the galaxy. And every item has a story behind it. Some more dangerous to listen to than others.”
“Our series will give fans the chance to visit Black Spire Outpost months ahead of voyaging to Batuu in person. Armed with top-secret sketches and information from Walt Disney Imagineering and Lucasfilm, we are keeping this authentic to the spirit of this rich new setting,” he said. “I’d tell you more, but I already have the death sentence on 12 systems…”
