Bright Suns, Thea!
I am relieved to see that you are planning to visit Batuu and join the Cause. Our Resistance forces need additional support as they try to eradicate the First Order. I trust that you are checking the availability calendar for
Savi's Workshop online. That availability calendar is what we use to search for availability. Given the number of off-world visitors we have, reservations have been difficult to secure. I would not be surprised if there is no availability during the time of your visit.
The Gatherers were amazing when we built lightsabers with the young Jedi in our family. We each built independently under the tutelage of the Gatherers. Once we bonded with our lightsabers, we carried them with us for the remainder of our time on Batuu. We also recently built droids at
Droid Depot. I have to admit the building was challenging, but we had a great time.
Keep checking for availability at Savi's Workshop multiple times a day, every day. Also, if you have not done so already, make reservations for
Oga's Cantina and consider making an
advanced dining reservation at Disney's Hollywood Studios. We always enjoy taking a break and checking in with other Resistance allies at Oga's. Beware, however. On one visit, the First Order disrupted the establishment. We all remained silent, refusing to give away any information!
If you have not booked accommodations, I highly suggest that you do so. We have a trip scheduled for July and I can make reservations for Savi's Workshop for any day of our trip (up to 10 days). Be sure to also use your
Star Wars: Datapad to translate galactic languages and hack into droids while visiting.
Thea, we await your arrival with hope. The Resistance needs your talent and skill. May the Force be with you as you travel to Batuu!
Good journey,
Donyell
