Bright suns, Richard!
Thanks for stopping by planDisney as you prepare for your visit to a galaxy far, far away. Even after many visits to the
Outer Rim, I continue to find exciting experiences while exploring the
Black Spire Outpost.
The experiences of creating a handbuilt lightsaber at
Savi's Workshop or an astromech droid unit at
Droid Depot make a visit to
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge extraordinarily special. These experiences take place in settings that are limited in space. Therefore each builder may have no more than two Guests accompany them.
To accommodate a party of four in Savi's Workshop, at least two building experiences would need to be purchased. As an alternative, you may wish to consider purchasing a
legacy lightsaber at
Dok-Ondar's Den of Antiquities, where everyone could be present to view and select from an assortment of lightsabers used by well-known members of the
Jedi order or
Sith. Though this would not include the inspirational experience of being guided by the Gatherers in selecting pieces to create a unique, personal lightsaber, you would still end up with a treasured lightsaber that is often compatible with the same types of blades and accessories available for lightsabers from Savi's Workshop.
At Droid Depot, the area for builders occupies a section of the shop that is separated by a low barrier. While only two Guests may accompany a builder directly at the build station, other members of your party could watch from behind the barrier. If you decide to experience Droid Depot in this way, I suggest giving a camera or mobile device to the members of your party outside the barrier to have them record the experience. Be sure to turn around once in a while to present the progress of the new astromech droid unit as it comes to life one part at a time!
Tony’s Tip: Be sure to download the free
Play Disney Parks app to your mobile device. Included with the app is the
Star Wars: Datapad, which allows you to hack, scan, and explore features of the Black Spire Outpost to take your visit to a whole new level.
May the Force be with you, Richard!
