When asked, Disney is directing guests to their Extra Magic Hours landing page. This outlines when EMH is offered, and which attractions are open during Extra Magic Hours.
The rest of Galaxy’s Edge is open, enjoy the rest of the shops and eateries and Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run as these will continue to operate during EMH.

And don’t forget, Rise of the Resistance will have a minimum height requirement of 40″.
What is Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance?
When it opens, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance will blur the lines between fantasy and reality and will put guests in the middle of a climactic battle between the First Order and the Resistance. Guests will be recruited to join Rey and General Organa at a secret base. Along the way, they will be captured by a First Order Star Destroyer. With the help of some heroes of the Resistance, they break out and must escape the Star Destroyer, protect the secret base, and stay one step ahead of Kylo Ren.
