One of the many jaw-dropping moments throughout Rise of the Resistance is when you step into the massive hangar bay after your ITS shuttle is taken over by the First Order.

We were in for an EXTRA special surprise today when a room that is typically filled with impressive audio-animatronics had a LIVE element added!
When we stepped into the hangar bay and turned to our left, we spotted a LIVE Stormtrooper!

Normally there are two animatronic Stormtroopers located on the left, but this is the first time we have ever seen a third, LIVE Stormtrooper in the hangar bay.

It definitely caught us by surprise! In true Stormtrooper form, he ordered us to keep moving towards our detention cells!

This was an incredibly awesome and unique interactive element added to our adventures through Batuu today, and we hope this becomes more frequent for others to experience!

There were 3 live ones on Wednesday (8/26) when I was at the ride at about 4 pm. One patrolling the entrance, one with the trio and one at the end of the troopers en masse.
