Bright Suns, Kimberly!
I'm excited to see you're planning to visit Walt Disney World Resort next fall! It sounds like you have a Star Wars fan who will be traveling with you - one who might be a fan of one of the Star Wars franchise's greatest villains - Darth Maul.
Guests visiting Walt Disney World wanting to adventure in a galaxy far, far away have the opportunity to do just that when they visit
Disney's Hollywood Studios. When you step into
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, you'll be transported to the Planet Batuu, where you can: fly the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy on
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, join the Resistance in a battle against the First Order on
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, build your own custom lightsaber at
Savi's Workshop, and design and create a droid at
Droid Depot. You can stop by
Oga's Cantina to sip on some out-of-this-world beverages or drop into
Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo for some galactic grub.
When visiting Batuu, you'll likely see some of your favorite Star Wars characters roaming the planet. You might spot Chewie working on the Falcon, or Rey on a mission to continue the Cause. When you feel a disturbance in the Force, it's probably Kylo Ren or Stormtroopers, who just might try and get you to disclose the location of the secret Resistance base!
Star Wars Launch Bay is where you'll want to go for a Chewbacca-sized hug, a face-to-droid encounter with BB-8, or, for the brave - a meetup with Darth Vader or Kylo Ren. From time to time, Boba Fett has been known to drop by as well!
At this time, Darth Maul has not been seen in the Launch Bay or on Batuu. Perhaps he's hiding out somewhere with his intimidating double-bladed red lightsaber, biding his time until making an appearance! Fans of the supervillain can sometimes find Darth Maul-related merchandise and other treasures in
Dok Ondar's Den of Antiquities in Batuu.
Character appearances are always subject to change, so I encourage you to stay in tune with the Force by keeping an eye on the Disney Parks Blog for any Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge announcements or news!
Thanks for stopping by with your question, and May the Force be with You!
