From the planet Batuu on the Edge of the Galaxy, Sam had an opportunity to chat with Nathaniel Palma, a 2015-16 Walt Disney World Ambassador. The conversation primarily focused on the residents of Batuu, people that you might think of as cast members in other areas of Walt Disney World. Potential cast members are encouraged to develop their character, their backstory, and their affiliation. It’s a small touch that adds to the authenticity of traveling to a galaxy far, far away… Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more from the opening of Star Wars Rise of the Resistance.
