We know that not everyone can make it out to Batuu, but there’s no reason you can’t send a Bright Suns greeting from home!
Bright Suns, traveler! This summer Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge celebrated its first anniversary! It is impossible to fathom — it feels like just yesterday that we were walking through the gates to The Black Spire Outpost for the first time. We get chills just thinking about it!

Traditionally the first-anniversary gift is paper, but we always find it best to celebrate with something of the food or drink variety. Disney Parks Blog is here with an assist. They’ve published the recipe for the famous, non-alcoholic, Cliff Dweller.Â
