At Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California, and at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, guests will find highly detailed Disney Cast Member costumes unique to each area and attractions throughout Black Spire Outpost, a village on the planet of Batuu.

Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge doesn't just want to look like a movie set. It wants guests to feel like they just stepped off a transport ship onto a planet thousands of galaxies away. Disney's newest theme park extension opens in Anaheim, California Friday and fans aren't the only ones getting into the spirit of "Star Wars." To ensure a truly immersive experience on the planet Batuu, Disney has enlisted its finest cast members — some 1,400 employees — to imbue the thriving port with life.

Those tasked with manning the merchant stalls, secret workshops and cantinas have been encouraged to develop their own unique identities, including mannerisms, intricate backstories and their appearance. "'Star Wars' is an immensely popular property and giving people who visit our parks, who have thought about visiting our parks, a chance to immerse themselves in 'Star Wars' on a grand scale in a much deeper way is a big deal," CEO Bob Iger said on Wednesday during an interview with on CNBC's Julia Boorstin on "Closing Bell." Walt Disney Imagineering spent three years developing the costumes for its cast — and uniforms aren't one size fits all. The team designed the wardrobe to be modular, allowing cast members to pick and choose from a variety of different clothing, including tunics, wraps and vests, to create their own signature look.

"Our cast are going to bring Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge to life in new ways," Cory Rouse, creative director at Walt Disney Imagineering, said in a statement. "When they step into the land each day, ready to be among our guests, they are going to feel like they are actually from the planet Batuu. They live there; they work on Batuu. And as inhabitants of Batuu, they get to really showcase their personalities, whether it's being sympathetic to the First Order or yearning to find their way to the Resistance." Cast members are also allowed to augment their base costume with necklaces, scarves and hats to make their character truly one of a kind. Each cast member will also have a special nametag with their name translated into Aurebesh, the written language in "Star Wars."
