#savi's lightsaber parts for sale

Battle for Batuu - Round 2

Black Spire, "capital" of Batuu, and there the yard behind one Savi's landspeeder sale & garage. Here Savi keeps the knowledge of the Jedi alive by collecting blueprints and occasionally crafting a functional lightsaber hilt. As of late, kyber crystals have shown up from an unknown source, what grants Savi the rare opportunity to also keep the Jedi’ legacy alive. Like the hours when he trains Gavin Dree, formerly a member of occupation governor Sonderan’s entourage, but now with the Resistance.

Savi: "The month you gave Sonderan to make a change for the better is almost over..."

Gavin: "You're trying to distract me, is all."

Savi: "And you fell for it by answering. Enjoy sewing your trousers after the droid burnt a hole into them!"

Gavin: "Dream on, Savi! And watch me! I've got this..."

Gavin: "...down pat!"

Savi: "Congrats! You blocked the shot! In time you will be able to parry it."

Gavin: "And then with best wishes back at sender, haha!"

After the training session Gavin removes his helmet. Unlike with jedi trainees of old, it didn't serve to disable his senses except for that for the force, but to the contrary enables him to better hear the weightless, substanceless blade of his lightsaber. Technology is making up for lack of natural talent, but it isn't a perfect substitute.

Savi: "You're a determined learner, and that helmet is one of my best works so far, so I've thought about what might hold you back. And I think I know the answer now: It's the kyber crystal. Your friend gifted it to you, it's not your very own that vibes with you."

Gavin: "I'm not force sensitive... I wouldn't recognize "my" crystal if it bit me."

Savi: "Fool! What is the Force, but the energy field that encompasses every last living thing? True, a generous amount of midichlorians in our blood helps us interact with it, but even lacking that ability, we all are part of the weave."

Gavin: "That's not just Jedi fanboy talk? We are all force sensitive?”

Savi: “Some more, others less. Certain thresholds that we call “force sensitive” or “Jedi material” are just constructs made up by academics. But what do they know!”

Gavin: “So it's a crystal hunt next?"

Savi: "You bet!"

The gates opened and we heard cheering as people slowly filed their way in. After passing the gate, everyone headed with urgency towards the back of the park. Since we’re adults at a conference, we opted to power walk and tried to contain ourselves from going on a mad sprint.

Disney characters waved and there were food stations with a sampling of food from each land, but we couldn’t let them distract us.

After blowing through the other lands, the crowd’s pace slowed as we approached the life-sized X-Wing. Moments later, Chewbacca let out a wail as he struggled with the giant cables. We had made it to Batuu.

The New Disney Star Wars Land - What You Need to Know Before You Go

Let me start off by saying that our experience of Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge was not the norm. During the IPW conference, Disney shut down Disneyland park to give the 6000 attendees an exclusive look at the park. We had Main Street U.S.A, Adventureland, Frontierland, New Orleans Square, Critter Country, and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge all to ourselves.

Needless to say, the majority of the group rushed to see Star Wars first. We were within the first few hundred in the park and didn’t waste any time getting to Galaxy’s Edge.

Afterwards, we chatted with a bunch of the cast members, locals who frequent the park, and as many Disney reps as possible to gather any info we could to pass along.

when does star wars land open?

These are the important dates to remember.

May 31st, 2019 – Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is open to the public. Well… sort of. Between 5/31 and 6/23 you need a reservation to enter the land. No official numbers have been released on how many spots they are allowing each day, but it’s very limited. The exception to the reservation, is if you are staying at a Disney owned hotel. They will provide you with a reservation during your stay.

Jun 24, 2019 – This is when it’s open to everyone else without a reservation. They expect the park to be at full capacity, and entrance to Galaxy’s Edge isn’t guaranteed. If you’re lucky enough to make it in, they are limiting your time to four hours. You’ll be able to queue virtually through their app so you can spend time at the rest of the park.

Entering Star Wars Land at Disneyland

There are three entrances to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. We were all routed towards the West entrance near Critter County. From here, you pass by the entrance of the unopened attraction, get a view of the X-Wing as you enter.

The South and East entrance are close together. The South comes up along the West side of Big Thunder, and takes you the Droid Depot. The East entrance comes from Fantasy Land and brings you to the Milk Stand and First Order Cargo.

No matter what entrance you come through, you’re immediately immersed in the land and all the cast members add to that by always staying in character. Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge transports you to the planet of Batuu where you’ll explore the Black Spire Outpost.

Where do I start?

There are two main attractions at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. The first is the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run. The second, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, is not open yet. Besides that, Oga’s Cantina , Savi’s Workshop – Handbuilt Lightsabers, and the Droid Depot have a big draw. You can also try blue and green milk at the Milk Stand, or pick up food and goodies at the marketplaces.

The attention to detail is absolutely mind-blowing. So even when you’re walking around, keep your eye out for the little things others might miss.

Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run Star Wars Ride

This is currently the biggest attraction and most memorable experience in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Before entering, you’re met with a full size replica of the Millennium Falcon. The line will take you along the backside of the Falcon and you’ll even get a peek of it from the second floor.

After the first section of the line, you enter a room where Hondo Ohnaka greets you and gives you the run down of why you’re there. The animatronics on Hondo look incredible! Afterwards, you’re put into groups of 6 and wait your turn in the Falcon’s Chess Room. We only waited 10-15 minutes to get up to this point and honestly lost track of time after that because we were geeking out and taking a bunch of photos.

The group you join has three different roles: pilots, gunners, and engineers. When they group you, they hand out the cards at random, but if you know people in your group, you can trade before starting the ride.

Pilots: One controls horizontal movement and the other controls vertical movements

Gunners: Each person controls the Falcon’s guns

Engineer: Fixes the ship and performs other misc tasks

I was a pilot and Esther was a gunner. The pilot is the most involved role since you have to steer the ship and mash buttons as instructed. I was the right pilot controlling the vertical movements and I also got the chance to put the Falcon into light speed. The gunners have buttons on the side that they mash when shooting. Neither of us did the engineer job but it looked similar. The most fun job is the pilot since you have the most to do.

The ride is a simulator ride plus a video game tutorial. Hondo gives you instructions throughout the ride and buttons light up to signal what you’re supposed to do. As a team, your job is to execute the commands as best as you can. Our team didn’t do so well… but we had fun!

Star Wars Cantina (Oga's Cantina)

Oga’s Cantina wasn’t open during our visit. We were able to see the interior, but they weren’t serving drinks, which was such a bummer! On the plus side, we got a chance to see the interior without waiting a couple of hours.

Normally, they have drinks that range from $7 – $42. I’ve seen photos of the drinks, and they truly look out of this world. After talking with one of the locals at the bar, they told us that the wait to get inside has been roughly 2 hours. Once you get in, there’s a 45 minute limit for any of the booths or standing tables. The bar technically doesn’t have a limit, but they’ve been cycling people in and out after about an hour.

We’ll be back to try the drinks later. In the meantime, if you have any photos of your experience, send them our way. Drinks will be the same at both locations. Here’s a sampling of what they have on their menu (how many references do you get?):

Drinks with Alcohol

Bespin Fizz

Bloody Rancor

Dagobah Slug Slinger

Fuzzy Tauntaun

Jedi Mind Trick

Jet Juice

The Outer Rim

Spriran Caf

T-16 Skyhopper

Non-Alcoholic Drinks

Build Your Own Star Wars Droid at Droid Depot OR Lightsaber at Savi's Workshop

There are two main interactive shops at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. The first is the Droid Depot, where you can custom build your own droid (R-series or BB-series) starting at $100. The decor in the depot is really cool. There are conveyor belts of droid parts running along the wall and ceiling. The droids that you build will interact with elements in the land and your behavior. You can even purchase additional programming chips and accessories to add abilities to your droid. There are pre-made droids you can purchase too. Even if you decide not to purchase a droid, you can still see the process and watch other people make theirs. There’s also a life size R2D2 that you can take a photo with (and purchase).

Around the corner from the Droid Depot is an unmarked check in station where you can build your own lightsaber at Savi’s Workshop for $200. Under the guise of a scrap shop, you can only enter if you purchase a lightsaber. We didn’t do it and Jacob is still kicking himself for it. Especially since there was no wait, and on regular days, the wait can be 2+ hours. During the experience, you pick one of four options:

Peace Justice (modeled after Jedi from the Republic era)

Power Control (Sith)

Elemental Nature (harnesses the elements)

Defense (shrouded in mystery)

Each builder can bring one guest in with them. The saber comes with a carrying case and 31 inch blade.

Shopping and Food

Beyond those main attractions, there other plenty of other nooks and crannies to explore in Batuu. Even if you don’t plan on buying anything, you should still walk around to see all the different shops.

For food, Oga’s Cantina will be the biggest attraction, but check out these other spots as well:

Kat Saka’s Kettle – sweet and savory snack made with popcorn

Ronto Roasters – grilled sage and roasted pork wraps

Chef Strono “Cookie” Tuggs – exotic dishes (nicer dishes)

Milk Stand – green & blue milk

There are several shops to check out. The hard part is deciding what you want to bring home.

The Market

Resistance Supply – resistance themed items

Creature Stall – exotic creatures (puppets)

Toydarian Toymaker – artisanal toys and games

Black Spire Outfitters – get a robe or other local garb

Jewels of Bith – local goods and trinkets

Black Spire Outpost

Dok-ondar’s Den of Antiquities – collectable items

First Order Cargo – first order themed gear

Download the Play Disney Parks App

We were so excited to get photos and check out the land, that we missed out on using the app at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. After arriving to planet Batuu, the app turns into the Star Wars: Datapad where you get to find easter eggs within the land. You can interact with droids, scan crates, and translate the alien languages seen throughout Batuu. You’ll even collect digital rewards, like ship schematics, star maps, and more. This is something we’ll try next time.

Fun Facts

John Williams created original music for Galaxy’s Edge.

Orlando’s Galaxy’s Edge is exactly the same as Disneyland’s. The only difference is that they face different directions.

Orlando’s location is scheduled to open in August.

We’ve heard rumors that Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is supposed to open at both locations in August, although because it’s so technologically advanced, there may be delays.

The post The New Disney Star Wars Land – What You Need to Know Before You Go appeared first on Local Adventurer » Travel Adventures in NYC + World Wide.

[shooktim-blog]

On May 31, 2019 the biggest addition in Disneyland’s history finally opened to the public, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. This $1 billion new land has had fans salivating for years, promising an immersion into the world of Star Wars the likes of which has never before been seen. This week I had the very unique opportunity to visit Galaxy’s Edge twice, and today I want to share my impressions about this remarkable new addition to the Disney experience. I’ll also provide some background information and how visitors can access the world of Star Wars.

How to visit

If you want to visit Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at the Disneyland Resort between May 31 and June 23, 2019, a reservation and theme park admission are required. There is no additional cost to make a reservation, but reservations are currently not available. There is one backdoor way to still get one of those coveted time slots, by staying at a Disneyland Resort hotel. After June 23, anyone with a valid theme park admission will be able to access the new land. Galaxy’s Edge will open in Walt Disney World on August 29, 2019 and while there isn’t expected to be a reservation process, the crowds will be substantial.

What is it?

This massive 14-acre new land builds on the Star Wars story but on a planet that has not been seen in the cannon. The land takes place on a far-flung planet named Batuu and the largest village, Black Spire Outpost. According to the backstory, it’s home to rogues, scoundrels, smugglers and members of the Resistance. The landscape is just as rough, with enormous rock formations that give the village its name. This is the world I excitedly walked into earlier this week.

The rides

There are two rides in Galaxy’s Edge, although only one is open at the moment, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run. This simulator ride takes guests, 6 at a time, into the Millennium Falcon to run their own smuggling mission with each person assigned a different crew role. But, as I learned, it’s so much more than that.

Guests are assembled into groups of 6 – the flight crew. Each person is assigned a role for the attraction: pilots, gunners and engineers. I didn’t fully appreciate just how interactive the attraction is, but these assignments were my first clue that it was going to be an experience unlike anything else. Before it’s time for the ride, each group hangs out in the Millennium Falcon where every detail is exactly the same as in the movies. Even if you aren’t a fanatic you’ll recognize these iconic scenes. Riders are then escorted into the cockpit, told to press any button that blinks and it’s off! The ride is a simulator ride that reacts to how well each member performs their jobs. If the pilots don’t react fast enough, the Falcon crashes. If the gunners can’t zap the bad guys, then they zap you. It’s an amazing attraction and totally unlike anything else I’ve ever experienced. It’s a fantastic anchor for the land.

The second ride, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, will open later this year.

The food

Food is always an important part of the Disney experience, and that’s especially true in Galaxy’s Edge. No detail was left out of the planning for this innovative new land, and the food and drink options are I think just as important as the ride and other thematic details.

Oga’s Cantina – Without a doubt this is the star of Galaxy’s Edge and will be one of the most popular spots to visit for just about all guests. Modeled after the legendary dive bars found in the Star Wars movies it’s everything you’d expect and more. Everything offered, from the cocktails and mocktails to beer and wine were all specially created for Galaxy’s Edge and, from my experience, deliver on the promise. However, the Cantina may be more popular that Disneyland thought as the lines to get in are the longest anywhere in Galaxy’s Edge. Disney is constantly trying to improve the visitor experience in Oga’s, but since the seating is limited it’s a challenge. When I visited, everyone was directed to a central line where we registered our phone numbers to be placed in a virtual queue. Then we could experience Galaxy’s Edge as we wanted to until we received a second text indicating it was time to return to Oga’s. At that point it’s another 10-20 minute wait until you can get in. I was in the virtual queue for 85 minutes or so before I received the notification. Once inside, Disney is trying to limit guests to two drinks each, in order to cycle people through the experience. But it’s well worth the effort; the level of detail is of course out of this world.

Milk Stand – This is another one of the cult favorites that will soon take on a life of its own. Both blue and green milk are served and are fashioned after the refreshing beverages seen in the films. The Blue Milk and Green Milk sold at the Milk Stand are frozen-style beverages similar to a milkshake or smoothie. Both drinks are non-dairy blends of coconut and rice milks and Blue Milk has dragon fruit, pineapple, lime and watermelon flavors and Green Milk has Mandarin orange, passion fruit, grapefruit and orange blossom flavors. The vegan drinks have taken some people by surprise since the consistency isn’t that of milk but of a slushy, but I thought they were good. Blue was my favorite, as it has been with many other patrons.

I also took the time to order dinner at Ronto Roasters. Located next to the market stall the thing to get here is the Ronto Wrap: roasted pork and grilled sausage with peppercorn sauce and tangy slaw wrapped in pita. Paired with a chilled glass of Meiloorun Juice and I had the perfect meal.

The shops

What to buy in Galaxy’s Edge is also a surprisingly important part of the experience because, believe it or not, they’re unique experiences in their own right. You won’t find the ear-shaped bubble wands or standard Disney fare in these stores no, they’re immersive Star Wars experiences just like everything else in Galaxy’s Edge.

Lightsabers and droids – If you’ve ever wanted your own lightsaber, this is your chance. Entering into Savi’s Workshop, guests customize their very own weapon to take home, at a price of $200. For $100 you can go through a similarly personalized and bespoke experience to construct your own droid. Both experiences are just that, an experience and is about so much more than buying something. They take visitors into the world of Star Wars and I’ve never seen anything quite like it.

My budget didn’t allow for the lightsaber, but I did build my very own droid and I’m so glad I did. Walking in the first thing one notices is the assembly line full of droid parts. One you pay for the droid, either the BB or R2 style, you’re given a basket and told to pick out the parts for the droid. This is where you customize it anyway you want, using any color combinations that strike your fancy. You then take the parts over to a tech who helps you assemble and activate the droid. It’s a fun experience and bound to be a very popular one, especially since the droid then interacts with objects around Galaxy’s Edge for the duration of your visit.

The other shops in Galaxy’s Edge also bear mentioning because Disney has taken the same level of detail found throughout the land to the items available for sale. These are specially designed pieces totally unlike anything else found in Disneyland and are very creative. When I was there, the most popular one of these shops was the Creature Stall where you can pick out your very own Star Wars creature to take home; they even provide a special carrying case for them.

Overall impression

I enjoyed my experiences in Galaxy’s Edge, although I did leave feeling as if I missed something. Maybe I need to return during the day when I can see more of the details, because I had the distinct impression that I didn’t make the most out of my time there. Disney built Galaxy’s Edge so that the entire land itself is the attraction. No detail was overlooked and not once is the illusion broken. Cast members chat to guests as if it really was a planet in the Outer Rim and even the Coke bottles were specially designed. Just like anything else, Galaxy’s Edge will evolve over time and enhancements made to perfect the visitor experience. Guests too will better learn how to enjoy the new land, with each visit learning something new. Simply said though, Galaxy’s Edge truly is an amazing achievement and it’s impossible not to leave completely awestruck with the experience.

DUBLIN, CA–For Dublin Star Wars fans the trip to Planet Batuu will get a lot quicker later this year – just 371 miles to Disneyland or 2,864 miles to Disney’s Hollywood Studios where Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge is opening this Spring and Fall respectively.

Haven’t heard of Batuu or Galaxy’s Edge? According to the Star Wars Databank Batuu is “a remote outpost on the galaxy’s edge. Batuu was once a busy crossroads in the days prior to lightspeed. With the rise of hyperspace travel, however, the world — notable for the lush trees and mountain spikes that decorate its surface — was left behind, its prominence lost to planets on more popular trade routes. Today, Batuu is home to those who prefer to stay out of the mainstream, and a thriving port for smugglers, rogue traders, and adventurers traveling between the frontier and uncharted space. Significantly, it has also become a safe haven for those looking to avoid the attention of the First Order.”

If that sounds like a cool destination for your summer vacation here are ten more reasons to be excited. Read all the way to #1 and #2 – we’ve saved the best for last!

#10: 14 Immersive Acres

At 14 acres Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge is the largest single-themed land ever created in a Disney park. At D23 Expo 2017 a massive scale model was unveiled that demonstrated the extraordinary immersive detail of the new land. The music for Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge will feature original themes created especially for the land and its attractions by Academy Award®-winning composer John Williams.

#9: Ultimate Star Wars Immersion

Guests to Black Spire Outpost on the Planet Batuu will experience a rich, immersive experience unlike anything created to-date in a Disney park. Off the beaten path, this outpost has become a haven for the galaxy’s most colorful — and notorious — characters, including smugglers, traders and adventurers. Guests may see some familiar faces, from Rey, Finn, and Poe to BB-8 and Chewbacca, and even find themselves in a face-off with Kylo Ren himself. When guests arrive at Black Spire Outpost, they will encounter aliens, droids and other inhabitants of Batuu as they search for rare and unique goods, discover unusual food and drink, or join a crew seeking adventures.

#8: Play Disney Parks Mobile App Interactive Games

Even The Force can’t magically make long lines disappear. With the anticipation building for the opening of Galaxy’s Edge large crowds and multi-hour lines are expected. To keep guests immersed and distracted the Play Disney Parks mobile app will include missions, games and in-queue experiences. These interactions throughout the land will make Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge one of the most engaging and captivating guest experiences in Disney Parks history.

#7: Blue Milk

In the market, the Milk Stand will offer two local favorites – blue milk and green milk. Blue milk was first seen in “Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope” when Luke Skywalker sat down for a family meal. Green milk was introduced in “Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi” when Luke lived on the planet Ahch-To. Now, thirsty guests will be able to order these colorful drinks as they live their own Star Wars adventures.

#6 Even the Popcorn is Themed

Blue milk is one thing but themed popcorn? Yes, Galaxy’s Edge is themed down the the last kernel. Guests will walk through a bustling street market, where vendors offer various local delicacies, including an Outpost Mix of uniquely flavored popped grains from Kat Saka’s Kettle, a unique popcorn snack with a combination of sweet, savory and spicy flavors.

Copyright Walt Disney Company

#5 Dance to DJ Rex

At Oga’s Cantina, even the blaster-bolt scorches on the walls tell a story. Here, guests will gather to share their tales from around the galaxy as they enjoy exotic beverages served in unique vessels and listen to spirited musical entertainment provided by DJ R- 3X, otherwise known as Rex, the former Starspeeder 3000 pilot droid from the original Star Tours. Rex re-invents himself as the cantina’s DJ, and he’s as quirky and talkative as ever.

Copyright Walt Disney Company

#4 – Want More than Themed Popcorn? Themed Dining Awaits You!

A multi-purpose transport shuttle docked on top of a large hangar will beckon guests into Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo, a designated location for traveling food shuttles. Chef Strono “Cookie” Tuggs is in much demand for his culinary skills, so he moves from site to site in a modified Sienar-Chall Utilipede-Transport that becomes a mobile kitchen and restaurant. His travels across the galaxy allow him to fill his pantry with exotic ingredients he uses to make new and unusual dishes.

Guests will also be able to choose from a variety of exotic non-alcoholic drinks like the Sour Sarlacc or Tatooine Sunset.

As the sun rises, Gavin learns that the life of a defector is a lonely one. No matter how great the opportunity he has given the rebels is for the resistance movement, they do not judge their ally by the effect his actions had on them, but by his other allegiance and his motivation that they cannot be sure of.

A breakfast of instant noodles, distrust and threats are the reward for having acted against his liege... his family.

On the upside, getting simultaneously watched and ignored is the worst that happens to the prisoner. There is no interrogation or torture.

"No, we won't take flight on your mere word that you succesfully disabled the surveillance network", Vi Moradi tells Gavin. "YOU will fly. Create a distraction, while we do our thing."

Well, Gavin Dree is competent and motivated. He can ride, slice, fight, mislead, manage a household and perform lower courtly functions, but one thing he is not: a pilot.

And so, when the alleged rebel pilot gets chased by First Order fighters, it takes all of Gavin's skill to ensure he returns to the rebel base in one piece. 

The X-Wing... not so much.

What lands in the forest camp is barely held together and throws sparks into all directions.

Vi Moradi is fuming!

Gavin: "Well, I sure ignited sparks, haha!"

Vi: "You will repair that!"

Gavin: "So that's what one gets for helping the "good guys" - detention. Let's see... this goes here... and this..."

Working on the X-wing, Gavin finds two pieces in the spare parts crate that won't fit anywhere: hollowed out tubes that contain a socket of sorts and wires connecting whatever goes into that socket to a muzzle.

The only objects even remotely looking like these things are Connor Ren's schematics for building a lightsaber! Only unlike the souveniers for sale at Savi's garage, these seem to be genuine, functional lightsaber hilts, that are only missing a kyber crystal.

Gavin pockets the hilts when the rebels aren't looking...

The gates opened and we heard cheering as people slowly filed their way in. After passing the gate, everyone headed with urgency towards the back of the park. Since we’re adults at a conference, we opted to power walk and tried to contain ourselves from going on a mad sprint.

Disney characters waved and there were food stations with a sampling of food from each land, but we couldn’t let them distract us.

After blowing through the other lands, the crowd’s pace slowed as we approached the life-sized X-Wing. Moments later, Chewbacca let out a wail as he struggled with the giant cables. We had made it to Batuu.

The New Disney Star Wars Land - What You Need to Know Before You Go

Let me start off by saying that our experience of Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge was not the norm. During the IPW conference, Disney shut down Disneyland park to give the 6000 attendees an exclusive look at the park. We had Main Street U.S.A, Adventureland, Frontierland, New Orleans Square, Critter Country, and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge all to ourselves.

Needless to say, the majority of the group rushed to see Star Wars first. We were within the first few hundred in the park and didn’t waste any time getting to Galaxy’s Edge.

Afterwards, we chatted with a bunch of the cast members, locals who frequent the park, and as many Disney reps as possible to gather any info we could to pass along.

when does star wars land open?

These are the important dates to remember.

May 31st, 2019 – Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is open to the public. Well… sort of. Between 5/31 and 6/23 you need a reservation to enter the land. No official numbers have been released on how many spots they are allowing each day, but it’s very limited. The exception to the reservation, is if you are staying at a Disney owned hotel. They will provide you with a reservation during your stay.

Jun 24, 2019 – This is when it’s open to everyone else without a reservation. They expect the park to be at full capacity, and entrance to Galaxy’s Edge isn’t guaranteed. If you’re lucky enough to make it in, they are limiting your time to four hours. You’ll be able to queue virtually through their app so you can spend time at the rest of the park.

Entering Star Wars Land at Disneyland

There are three entrances to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. We were all routed towards the West entrance near Critter County. From here, you pass by the entrance of the unopened attraction, get a view of the X-Wing as you enter.

The South and East entrance are close together. The South comes up along the West side of Big Thunder, and takes you the Droid Depot. The East entrance comes from Fantasy Land and brings you to the Milk Stand and First Order Cargo.

No matter what entrance you come through, you’re immediately immersed in the land and all the cast members add to that by always staying in character. Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge transports you to the planet of Batuu where you’ll explore the Black Spire Outpost.

Where do I start?

There are two main attractions at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. The first is the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run. The second, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, is not open yet. Besides that, Oga’s Cantina , Savi’s Workshop – Handbuilt Lightsabers, and the Droid Depot have a big draw. You can also try blue and green milk at the Milk Stand, or pick up food and goodies at the marketplaces.

The attention to detail is absolutely mind-blowing. So even when you’re walking around, keep your eye out for the little things others might miss.

Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run Star Wars Ride

This is currently the biggest attraction and most memorable experience in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Before entering, you’re met with a full size replica of the Millennium Falcon. The line will take you along the backside of the Falcon and you’ll even get a peek of it from the second floor.

After the first section of the line, you enter a room where Hondo Ohnaka greets you and gives you the run down of why you’re there. The animatronics on Hondo look incredible! Afterwards, you’re put into groups of 6 and wait your turn in the Falcon’s Chess Room. We only waited 10-15 minutes to get up to this point and honestly lost track of time after that because we were geeking out and taking a bunch of photos.

The group you join has three different roles: pilots, gunners, and engineers. When they group you, they hand out the cards at random, but if you know people in your group, you can trade before starting the ride.

Pilots: One controls horizontal movement and the other controls vertical movements

Gunners: Each person controls the Falcon’s guns

Engineer: Fixes the ship and performs other misc tasks

I was a pilot and Esther was a gunner. The pilot is the most involved role since you have to steer the ship and mash buttons as instructed. I was the right pilot controlling the vertical movements and I also got the chance to put the Falcon into light speed. The gunners have buttons on the side that they mash when shooting. Neither of us did the engineer job but it looked similar. The most fun job is the pilot since you have the most to do.

The ride is a simulator ride plus a video game tutorial. Hondo gives you instructions throughout the ride and buttons light up to signal what you’re supposed to do. As a team, your job is to execute the commands as best as you can. Our team didn’t do so well… but we had fun!

Star Wars Cantina (Oga's Cantina)

Oga’s Cantina wasn’t open during our visit. We were able to see the interior, but they weren’t serving drinks, which was such a bummer! On the plus side, we got a chance to see the interior without waiting a couple of hours.

Normally, they have drinks that range from $7 – $42. I’ve seen photos of the drinks, and they truly look out of this world. After talking with one of the locals at the bar, they told us that the wait to get inside has been roughly 2 hours. Once you get in, there’s a 45 minute limit for any of the booths or standing tables. The bar technically doesn’t have a limit, but they’ve been cycling people in and out after about an hour.

We’ll be back to try the drinks later. In the meantime, if you have any photos of your experience, send them our way. Drinks will be the same at both locations. Here’s a sampling of what they have on their menu (how many references do you get?):

Drinks with Alcohol

Bespin Fizz

Bloody Rancor

Dagobah Slug Slinger

Fuzzy Tauntaun

Jedi Mind Trick

Build Your Own Star Wars Droid at Droid Depot OR Lightsaber at Savi's Workshop

There are two main interactive shops at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. The first is the Droid Depot, where you can custom build your own droid (R-series or BB-series) starting at $100. The decor in the depot is really cool. There are conveyor belts of droid parts running along the wall and ceiling. The droids that you build will interact with elements in the land and your behavior. You can even purchase additional programming chips and accessories to add abilities to your droid. There are pre-made droids you can purchase too. Even if you decide not to purchase a droid, you can still see the process and watch other people make theirs. There’s also a life size R2D2 that you can take a photo with (and purchase).

Around the corner from the Droid Depot is an unmarked check in station where you can build your own lightsaber at Savi’s Workshop for $200. Under the guise of a scrap shop, you can only enter if you purchase a lightsaber. We didn’t do it and Jacob is still kicking himself for it. Especially since there was no wait, and on regular days, the wait can be 2+ hours. During the experience, you pick one of four options:

Peace Justice (modeled after Jedi from the Republic era)

Power Control (Sith)

Elemental Nature (harnesses the elements)

Defense (shrouded in mystery)

Each builder can bring one guest in with them. The saber comes with a carrying case and 31 inch blade.

Shopping and Food

Beyond those main attractions, there other plenty of other nooks and crannies to explore in Batuu. Even if you don’t plan on buying anything, you should still walk around to see all the different shops.

For food, Oga’s Cantina will be the biggest attraction, but check out these other spots as well:

Kat Saka’s Kettle – sweet and savory snack made with popcorn

Ronto Roasters – grilled sage and roasted pork wraps

Chef Strono “Cookie” Tuggs – exotic dishes (nicer dishes)

Milk Stand – green & blue milk

There are several shops to check out. The hard part is deciding what you want to bring home.

The Market

Resistance Supply – resistance themed items

Creature Stall – exotic creatures (puppets)

Toydarian Toymaker – artisanal toys and games

Black Spire Outfitters – get a robe or other local garb

Jewels of Bith – local goods and trinkets

Black Spire Outpost

Dok-ondar’s Den of Antiquities – collectable items

First Order Cargo – first order themed gear

Download the Play Disney Parks App

We were so excited to get photos and check out the land, that we missed out on using the app at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. After arriving to planet Batuu, the app turns into the Star Wars: Datapad where you get to find easter eggs within the land. You can interact with droids, scan crates, and translate the alien languages seen throughout Batuu. You’ll even collect digital rewards, like ship schematics, star maps, and more. This is something we’ll try next time.

Fun Facts

John Williams created original music for Galaxy’s Edge.

Orlando’s Galaxy’s Edge is exactly the same as Disneyland’s. The only difference is that they face different directions.

Orlando’s location is scheduled to open in August.

We’ve heard rumors that Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is supposed to open at both locations in August, although because it’s so technologically advanced, there may be delays.
