The force has awakened.

During the Walt Disney Company’s first quarter 2017 earnings call, company chairman and CEO Bob Iger announced that ‘Star Wars’ lands at Disneyland and Walt Disney World would open in 2019.

The announcement was also made on the Disney parks blog.

Construction on the new land, which will occupy 14 acres at Disneyland, started early last year. Besides the new land, attractions and more, it also meant a reworking of Frontierland and its Rivers of America, which has been closed too. It is slated to open later this year.

Meanwhile, construction continues with large cranes dominating the skyline in the northwest portion of Disneyland.

Iger provided little other details, such as the month it would open, during the call.
