There is also a second attraction - Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance - that will put guests in the middle of the action between the First Order and the Resistance.
The video also teased Rise of the Resistance, hinting that it will be an eight-seater ride where guests get to face Kylo Ren in battle.
Scott Trowbridge, creative executive at Walt Disney Imagineering, said in the video that guests are put "right behind the cockpit".
He added that it's an "intense, super fun experience on the fastest ship in the galaxy."

Earlier this month, Sun Online Travel revealed that fans may have to wait as long as six hours to get on the Millennium Falcon at Disneyland.
The estimate is based on analysis on daily crowd sizes and average wait times in theme parks.
For those keen to skip the queues, the attraction will be offering FastPass tickets.
