Walt Disney Co. is getting a do-over on its Star Wars theme-park attraction.

A second Star Wars themed land is set to open Thursday at Disney’s Hollywood Studios park in Orlando, Florida. This time, the Galaxy’s Edge opening lacks many of the restrictions that hurt attendance when the first one opened in California in May.
