Hi, Nicol! Or as they say on the planet Batuu, "Bright suns!" I'm so glad you stopped by planDisney on your way to a galaxy far, far away.
Visiting
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is a dream come true for lifelong
Star Wars fans like me! Whenever I set foot in this immersive land, I can live out my very own Star Wars adventure. I get to do things that I dreamed about as a child, like piloting the
Millennium Falcon or trying
blue milk. However, one of the most meaningful experiences my family of Star Wars fans had was building our own custom lightsabers at
Savi's Workshop.
I don't want to spoil too much about the Savi's Workshop experience, but I can tell you that it is sure to become a treasured memory for any aspiring Jedi. You will definitely want to have some photos taken to commemorate this special activity. Each lightsaber builder may bring one guest inside Savi's Workshop with them, and I recommend having your guest take some photos and videos of you as you create your custom lightsaber.
Once you've constructed your lightsaber at Savi's Workshop, there are so many areas throughout Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge that would make an epic backdrop for photos with your new lightsaber. Nighttime lightsaber pictures look particularly cool! Be sure to keep an eye out for the
Disney PhotoPass photographers stationed throughout Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. If you purchase
Memory Maker, you'll have unlimited downloads of your Disney PhotoPass pictures, so be sure to stop and have the photographers snap some pictures of you any time you spot one.
Savi's Workshop is a very popular experience, and reservations to build a lightsaber can be made 60 days in advance. If you haven't already done so, be sure to make your reservations for Savi's Workshop, and while you're at it, you might want to book a reservation for
Oga's Cantina as well. Stopping by this local watering hole for a drink is another must-do experience for any Star Wars fan. Try my favorite drink, the Yub Nub!
Nicol, if you have any other questions as you get ready to travel to Batuu, please don't hesitate to ask. May the Force be with you!
