Meeting Rey feels less like a traditional Disney character encounter and more like becoming part of the Star Wars story unfolding around Batuu. Unlike many Disney characters who stay in one location, Rey often moves throughout Galaxy's Edge interacting with guests while carrying out Resistance business. Her appearances feel natural within the environment, making the experience much more immersive than a standard meet-and-greet. For Star Wars fans, seeing Rey walk through Black Spire Outpost feels like watching a scene from the films come to life.
Experience
Rey appears throughout Galaxy's Edge as part of the ongoing story between the Resistance and the First Order. Guests may encounter her while she is moving through Batuu, speaking with visitors, or gathering information about First Order activity. While there is not always a formal meet-and-greet line, guests often have opportunities for photos and brief interactions. Because the encounters are less structured, each experience feels a little different.
Atmosphere
The atmosphere is one of the biggest strengths of meeting Rey. Rather than standing in front of a backdrop, she becomes part of the living world of Batuu. Guests often spot her unexpectedly while exploring the land, which makes the encounter feel more authentic and exciting. Combined with nearby Resistance activity and roaming Stormtroopers, the experience feels like stepping directly into a Star Wars adventure.
