ANAHEIM, California - Chewbacca climbed into the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon and fireworks flew overhead as Walt Disney Co dedicated its new “Star Wars” section at California’s Disneyland Resort on Wednesday.
The furry Wookiee had trouble starting the giant spaceship, prompting Han Solo actor Harrison Ford to surprise the crowd and offer an assist. Ford banged on the side of the ship and said “Peter, this one’s for you,” a shout-out to Peter Mayhew, the actor who played Chewbacca in five films and died in April.
The land will offer visitors the chance to step into the Millennium Falcon’s cockpit and control a simulated flight. “The goal was to be ambitious, really ambitious,” Iger said in an interview earlier on Wednesday. “To be bold, but not only bold in terms of scale, but in terms of detail, artistry, technology, and to make sure first and foremost that we are pleasing the most ardent ‘Star Wars’ fan.”
