Star Wars fans, get excited. Just two days ahead of the highly anticipated opening of Disneyland’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge attraction, photos of the finished sci-fi theme park were released, revealing more details of the $1 billion project. And both J.J. Abrams and Steven Spielberg have already visited, apparently giving their seals of approval.

Josh D’Amaro, the president of Disneyland Resorts, posted a picture of all the performers who will make the attraction come to life on his Instagram, writing, “So proud to introduce you to the inhabitants of Batuu! I want to thank this amazing team for their incredible dedication and passion. Yesterday’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge cast rally was unforgettable. This photo is one for the ages!”

John Boyega, the actor who played Finn in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Star Wars: The Last Jedi, also shared the photo, revealing that he was involved in developing the attraction and will appear at the opening.

“Meet the amazing cast of Batuu ready to give the fans all around the world the most immersive Star Wars experience,” he wrote. “Star Wars #GalaxysEdge opens its doors in one week at @disneyland and don’t you worry I’ll be there to help guide you through one of the most insane rides! It was a pleasure to work with the team on this. Enjoy, and may the force be with you.”

These pictures and announcements come after current Star Wars director J.J. Abrams and Steven Spielberg got a tour of the 14-acre attraction earlier this month. Robert Iger, the chairman and CEO of Disney, tweeted pictures from the meeting showing the famous directors outside the Millennium Falcon. The theme park within Disneyland will also have rides, stores selling things like lightsabers and “Star Wars–appropriate food and drink.”

During the initial three-week opening, guests are required to have a reservation and are limited to spending only four hours inside the new area.
