AOA is proud and honored to have played a lead role in bringing to life the Thea Award winning Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland Resort. Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge received the 2020 Thea Award for Outstanding Achievement - New Park Land. The groundbreaking new land is a truly immersive experience that drops you right into the Star Wars saga, letting visitors live out your very own Star Wars story. The story driven experience lets you explore the Black Spire Outpost of the planet Batuu, where every level of the experience immerses you deeper into the story. Whether it is flying the Millennium Falcon, sipping on some blue milk, or rising against the First Order, Galaxy’s Edge transports you to a “galaxy far, far away”.
The Oscars of the themed entertainment industry, the Thea Awards are regarded as the industry’s highest honor and a symbol of excellence. We congratulate Walt Disney Imagineering for this achievement and are thankful that our team of Show Set Designers and Technical Directors had the opportunity to help develop the rich, “in-world” details which brought Galaxy’s Edge to life. Galaxy’s Edge not only broke the mold, but has set the bar for all future experiences.
AOA is honored to have had a hand in many other award-winning projects.
