Bob Chapek discusses Galaxy's Edge at D23 2017 with concept art for Rise of the Resistance in the background.He served as president of distribution for the company's movie studio, president of its home entertainment business, and president of consumer products. He went on to become chairman of parks and resorts between 2015 and 2018.

One of his "hallmarks" was refocusing the segment around franchises rather than categories, CFO Jay Rasulo said at a media conference in 2014.
