New Addition to Play Disney Parks App for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance in Walt Disney World

Waiting in line woes? Looking for even more than the incredible attractions in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge? Disney has you covered! Using Star Wars: Datapad, travelers of Galaxy’s Edge can enjoy land-wide interactive experiences available through the Play Disney Parks mobile app. There are so many ways to explore with your Datapad – and now, Disney offers two new jobs at Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance! Check out the details below from DisneyParksBlog.

Now open at Disney’s Hollywood Studios (and opening January 17 at Disneyland), Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance takes visitors on a harrowing adventure and put you in the middle of a climactic battle between the First Order and the Resistance. With your Star Wars: Datapad, you can choose to support either side by selecting new jobs within the app as you move through the Resistance clearing and towards attraction.

Distress Signal Received: If you choose to help the Resistance you’ll receive a distress signal from Finn, who is undercover on a Star Destroyer near Batuu. Connect and help him navigate the ship by selecting his path – and you may even free Resistance prisoners, reprogram droids and gather information on what the First Order is up to on the way. Depending on the route you share with Finn, you’ll uncover items and schematics exclusive to this assignment.

Infiltrate Resistance Recruitment: Meanwhile, First Order loyalists entering the Resistance recruit line will be tasked with surveilling and reporting back on the status of Resistance supplies. You will be able to communicate with a First Order officer as you make your way through, and with her instruction you may choose to scan crates, intercept transmissions or even plant tracking devices from your Datapad.

Look for the new Star Destroyer icon in your Datapad to take on these new jobs.

PLUS – While exploring the surrounding area and Black Spire Outpost, use your “scanning” tool to discover new items that you can collect or trade with fellow galactic travelers, and don’t forget to use your “hacking,” “tuning” and “translation” tools to explore the land. Perhaps you’ll learn something new from a local droid, intercept some local chatter or learn a galactic language! And for visitors looking to take part in more, help Hondo Ohnaka sort cargo during an in-queue game at Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, or join in “Outpost Control” to show where your loyalties lie. Of course…you could always breakout on your own as a scoundrel.

Will you support the Resistance or the First Order?
