The short ceremony included appearances by Chewbacca and R2-D2, a speech by Disney Parks, Experiences and Products Chairman Bob Chapek, and fireworks.

"Every aspect of this land, from the droid tracks on the pavement to the spires that reach the sky, is 100 percent authentically Star Wars," Chapek said.

"This is storytelling on a truly epic scale."

Chapek also thanked the Disney cast members who are part of the land's opening team.
