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.

What an inspiring read! “And the Award Goes to...” beautifully captures the essence of recognition and the importance of celebrating achievements, whether in business, arts, or personal journeys. Awards not only acknowledge hard work but also motivate individuals and organizations to keep striving for excellence. In the corporate world, recognition often comes in the form of credibility, compliance, and trust that businesses build over time. For instance, maintaining compliance and managing registrations effectively is a recognition in itself, as it reflects professionalism and commitment. At ebizfiling, we believe that every milestone, whether it’s starting a new venture, registering a company, or even responsibly winding it down, deserves acknowledgment. Our Strike off LLP services are designed with this very mindset—to give businesses…
Incredible work by AOA! The immersive storytelling and technical brilliance behind Galaxy’s Edge truly set a new standard. As someone who appreciates detailed craftsmanship, I’m equally passionate about design in everyday items—like leather cigarette cases, which blend function with timeless style. Congrats to the whole team on this well-deserved Thea Award recognition!
Últimamente me he metido más en las apuestas de futbol Chile y he notado que hay muy buenas cuotas, especialmente en la Primera División. Si sigues de cerca los equipos y estadísticas, se pueden hacer jugadas interesantes.
What an incredible achievement for AOA and the team behind Galaxy’s Edge! The immersive storytelling really sets a new standard for themed entertainment. As someone who frequently ships collectibles from such attractions, I truly value affordable international package forwarding services to get exclusive merchandise safely and quickly. Congratulations on this milestone—well deserved!
