Disney reveal the village in their new Star Wars land will be called Black Spire Outpost
The largest settlement on the planet Batuu, Black Spire Outpost is an infamous stop for traders, adventurers, and smugglers
DISNEY keep drip-feeding exciting new developments in their upcoming Star Wars-themed lands at Disney World in Orlando and Disneyland in California.
This weekend, they finally revealed the name of the village in the park where the attractions will be based - Black Spire Outpost.
Disney Parks Story Editor Margaret Kerrison said: "The largest settlement on the planet Batuu, Black Spire Outpost is an infamous stop for traders, adventurers, and smugglers travelling around the Outer Rim and Wild Space.
"Off the beaten path, this outpost has become a haven for the galaxy’s most colourful and notorious characters.
"Known for the [fossilised] remains of its once towering ancient trees, the spires now stand guard across the river valleys and plains.
"To the first settlers, these [fossilised] spires became more than just landmarks; they became the heart of the outpost itself."
The Star Wars-themed lands will open next summer in California's Disneyland and next autumn at Disney World in Orlando.
Insiders are suggesting that the summer launch date for California is likely to be in June.
Here, guests will find themselves in the middle of the action at two signature attractions, one of which lets guests take the controls of Millennium Falcon on a customised secret mission.
Footage leaked in April of the new ride at Disney’s Star Wars parks shows what guests can expect when they get on to the ride - and are able to zoom around on the legendary spacecraft.
The second focuses on an epic Star Wars adventure that puts guests in the middle of a climactic battle between the First Order and the Resistance.
Unlike other theme parks, a plot line can follow guests throughout their day on the different attractions as the entire park is being created as an immersive theatre experience.

It is thought that the Orlando Star Wars land is taking longer to build because of the new Star Wars hotel that is also launching at the site.
The first ever fully immersive Star Wars-themed hotel will serve as a multi-day adventure for guests, where they truly feel like they are living inside the story.
The hotel will be built as a spaceship and all of the windows look out on outer space, while the guests are all given costumes from the moment they check in.
