Note that there is no age limit for the Star Wars Experience, but parents should use their discretion. If your kid is old enough to handle the intense action you find in the Star Wars series, then she or he is old enough for the exhibit. And old enough to answer the question: Is it better to use the Force for good, or to give in to the dark side?
The Star Wars Experience will get you primed to watch Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, which might rank up with the best kids' movies 2019 has to offer. And it might get you to consider signing up for a subscription to Disney+ so that you can watch every the Star Wars installments.
Go to the experience, you must.
