Disneyland closes Oga’s Cantina for extended refurbishment

Oga’s Cantina will close for at least six weeks at Disneyland ahead of a major overhaul of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge that will bring a younger proprietor to the hive of scum and villainy and new music to the alien cocktail bar’s soundtrack.

Disneyland will close Oga’s Cantina from Tuesday, Jan. 20 through at least early March for an extended refurbishment with no reopening date yet announced.

    The Oga’s Cantina refurbishment will last much longer than initially announced. The original 5-day closure has now been expanded to at least six weeks.

    Disneyland teams will perform standard maintenance during the closure of Oga’s and make some of the updates related to the upcoming expansion of the Star Wars timeline coming to Galaxy’s Edge on April 29.

    Oga’s Cantina opened in 2019 along with the rest of Galaxy’s Edge as the first place in Disneyland to serve alcohol outside of the mysterious, private and exclusive Club 33 in New Orleans Square.

    Oga’s was designed to be reminiscent of the Mos Eisley cantina in the original 1977 “Star Wars” movie while still retaining its own unique character.

    Oga’s Cantina stopped offering reservations in August and transitioned to walk-up availability only as the popularity of the Star Wars bar waned after years of hard-to-get bookings.

    Walt Disney Imagineering will expand the Star Wars timeline in Disneyland’s Galaxy’s Edge starting on April 29 to include the original trilogy of movies.

    The storytelling shift will have a ripple effect throughout the Star Wars themed land — including Oga’s Cantina.

    Oga Garra will still run the cantina, but the proprietor will now be relatively new to Black Spire Outpost in the expanded timeline and yet to take control of the Batuu underworld as the local crime boss, according to the revised backstory for the bar.

    The infectious Benny Goodman-esque “Cantina Band #1” by Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes heard in the original 1977 “Star Wars” movie will join the playlist inside Oga’s Cantina.

    Fans have been clamoring for an animatronic version of Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes to replace droid DJ R-3X — but don’t expect that to happen.

    Walt Disney Imagineering officials have said that the closure of the Rise of the Resistance attraction starting on Jan. 20 will be for an extended refurbishment. The attraction’s storyline will not be updated to reflect the upcoming Star Wars timeline expansion.
