In Disney’s Hollywood Studios, one of the most popular sections can be found in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. The new section immerses Guests into the world of Star Wars and allows them to meet characters from the films such as Rey, Chewbacca, Storm Troopers, Kylo Ren, and more. In the land, Rise of the Resistance is easily the most popular attraction, leaving Guests waiting hours or spending nearly $20.00 to skip the line for one single ride.

In the attraction, we as Guests are captured by First Order, but usually, the Resistance is able to rescue them within minutes and begin the attraction. That being said, it seems some Guests recently spent a little more time with the First Order than they were used to. Napfanforever took to Reddit to post their experience of the ride during a breakdown. It seems that at this point, Napfanforever was in the section of the queue that stuns Guests with Stormtroopers lined up usually, Guests are not able to spend much time in this room and have to quickly walkthrough. In this case, it seems the Guests were stuck in there for hours!

As we can see in the photo below, Guests are even sitting down to help the time pass, and most are on their phones, no longer enamored with the stunning views created by Disney’s Imagineering team. At the moment, Rise of the Resistance is not operating with Boarding Groups or a virtual queue.
ROTR has been down for almost an hour and I’m trapped inside.
Typically, when an attraction breaks down for this length of time, those who are in the queue may be told to leave, but it seems that that was not the case for these Guests. Considering the Standby queue can cause a hefty line, we are not surprised that Guests opted to stay and wait in the attraction as they are already experiencing the queue aspect of the attraction by the time they enter this room.
