ANAHEIM, Calif. - Disneyland has officially unveiled a new Han Solo character encounter for Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, inspired by Harrison Ford’s original portrayal of the iconic smuggler. While a promotional clip has already garnered over a million views, fan reaction remains divided ahead of the character's debut later this month.
What we know:
The new Han Solo is a meet-and-greet character for Galaxy's Edge. The addition brings a brand new face to the park's "galaxy far, far away," allowing guests to interact with a character based on the legendary film franchise.
What they're saying:
Reaction to the new character reveal is mixed, with some fans praising the addition and others expressing disappointment. One user wrote, "He's no Harrison Ford." Another user commented, "worst wig ever."
