No, you can't actually visit that galaxy far, far away, on account of it being fictional and all. But Disney being Disney, they've cooked up the next best thing.

At D23 today, Bob Chapek, chairman of Disney Parks and Resorts, announced a "100% immersive" Star Wars-themed resort to come to Walt Disney World.

Plans for the resort were first reported in April, but today's D23 panel brought our first official announcement.

Described as Disney's "most experiential concept ever," the luxury hotel promises to be a "100% immersive" experience in "an authentic Star Wars environment."

Explained Chapek:

It’s unlike anything that exists today. From the second you arrive, you will become a part of a Star Wars story! You’ll immediately become a citizen of the galaxy and experience all that entails, including dressing up in the proper attire. Once you leave Earth, you will discover a starship alive with characters, stories, and adventures that unfold all around you. It is 100% immersive, and the story will touch every single minute of your day, and it will culminate in a unique journey for every person who visits.

The Star Wars experience will extend to every tiny detail, including the view out your window – Chapek's promised that each and every one will have "a view into space."

Well, damn. You can probably guess what we've got to say about that:

Guests will be able to live their own "dedicated, multi-day adventure" from the moment they board the starship – right down to the views from their windows, as Chapek promised every single one will look out into "space."

“It’s unlike anything that exists today.” Bob said. “From the second you arrive, you will become a part of a Star Wars story! You’ll immediately become a citizen of the galaxy and experience all that entails, including dressing up in the proper attire. Once you leave Earth, you will discover a starship alive with characters, stories, and adventures that unfold all around you.
