Visitors to Disney's Star Wars experience will be able to pilot the Millennium Falcon, fight in a battle between the Resistance and the First order and meet droids and aliens, it has been revealed.
Harrison Ford and BB-8 unveiled the first details of the highly anticipated expansion at Disney's American theme parks during a special television show aired in the US on Sunday.
The rides will be the newest galactic addition to Disneyland in Anaheim, California and Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida and will span 14 acres each.
The Han Solo star introduced the plans saying: "Star Wars is, for lack of a better word ... awesome.
"I'm so blessed that I had the opportunity to be a part of it, to walk in these iconic locations. And soon, you'll be able to do that as well. Not in a galaxy far, far away, but in a place close to home."
The programme showed off new concept art from the attractions, including some shots from the cockpit of the Falcon as it flies into battle but it is not known when the experiences will open to the public.
Ford later introduced the first orchestral performance of Star Wars Live In Concert in front of an enthusiastic audience at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
Dame Helen Mirren sported a pair of silver Mickey Mouse ears on a blue hat as she introduced the programme celebrating the history of the theme park.
During the tribute Sir Elton John debuted new song Wonderful Crazy Night in addition to performing his Oscar-nominated song Circle Of Life from The Lion King in front of the famous pink castle at Disneyland.
Filming is under way on Star Wars: Episode VIII and security is reportedly so tight that studio bosses are flying drones above the set to keep other drones away and stop them from taking and leaking photos.
The film was recently shooting on Skellig Michael, Ireland, where The Force Awakens finished, and will move to Dubrovnik in Croatia from 9 March.
