If there’s one thing Star Wars fans love to do, it’s dress up as their favorite character whenever they get the chance.
Going to see the new Star Wars film? Better put on that Luke Skywalker Jedi robe or that Kylo Ren mask. Whether it’s a Stormtrooper, a Sith or a Jedi Master, there’s no shortage of costumes Star Wars fans love to dress up in. When we go to The Rise Of Skywalker, I’m sure my family will be just as costumed as we were when we saw The Last Jedi.
So it’s definitely a little weird to have a brand new Disney Star Wars theme park launch in LA (and soon, Orlando) and not be able to wear a costume when you visit. After all, Galaxy’s Edge is supposed to be this huge, immersive experience that makes you truly feel like you’ve landed on a planet in the Star Wars universe. Wouldn’t more people in costume make that even more immersive?
Disney has a no-costume policy for its theme parks, however, and it’s no different for Galaxy’s Edge. Once you hit the ripe old age of 14, you’re no longer allowed to dress up like Anakin Skywalker or any other fictional character. Kids 13 and younger are the only ones allowed to wear costumes—and it’s actually for a pretty good reason.
Galaxy’s Edge
According to Disney:
„The current Disneyland Resort costume policy will be in effect in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Costumes may not be worn by guests 14 years of age or older. Appropriate Disney bounding — dressing in outfits inspired by favorite characters — is permitted.“
Inappropriate attire includes:
There are exceptions to the costume rule for special events at other Disney parks for special events, but it’s not clear whether that will be the case at Galaxy’s Edge.
The thinking behind this policy is actually pretty straightforward.
