Excuse us, Disney, but how dare you make SIX big Disney park announcements all at the same time? We’re kidding, of course. It’s pretty exciting to think about all the FUN additions coming to Disney World, Disneyland, and the international parks!
We were blown away by everything Disney revealed at the panel at this year’s SXSW conference. Sure, we knew about some of the big expansions coming to the parks, but Disney has given us first looks at attractions, timelines of things coming to the parks, and more. Well, Disney confirmed something else at SXSW (yep, the news just keeps on coming). A brand-new Star Wars animatronic will be arriving in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
During the SXSW panel, The Mandalorian creator, Jon Favreau, took to the stage with Disney Imagineers to talk about what Imagineers have been working on for the parks. One of those pieces of tech includes a brand-new animatronic, Anzellan. Now, the first Anzellan was Babu Frik, who first appeared in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. This guy is of the same species, and like Babu Frik, he specializes in droid repair. Here’s what the new animatronic looks like.
This spicy little fellow has also been in The Mandalorian TV show and will also appear in The Mandalorian and Grogu movie. Here, you can soon see this little guy up close.
So, you’ll want to keep an eye out for this new animatronic. In the meantime, we’re always on the lookout for the latest Disney news, so stay tuned for more.
