Bright suns, Jesse! Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel on your way to Batuu.
Droid Depot at
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge has the droids you are looking for. The Droid Depot workshop has all of the parts you will need to design and assemble either a BB-Series or R-Series astromech droid. Did you know that for an additional fee, you can purchase a personality chip for your droid? By purchasing a personality chip, you can choose whether your droid will show allegiance to the First Order or if it will support the Resistance. Since your droid will interact with other droids and various Bluetooth enabled devices throughout this immersive new land, your droid will be the perfect traveling companion as you explore Black Spire Outpost. My friend and fellow panelist,
Tony, recently visited Droid Depot with his daughters. Tony's daughters built two droids, and he reports that the droids still seem to "talk" to one another even after leaving the theme park.
If you would like to further enhance the interactive nature of your visit to Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, be sure to download
Star Wars: Datapad on the Play Disney Parks mobile app. Your Datapad will help you translate the Aurebesh language used throughout Black Spire Outpost. Using your Datapad, you will also be able to scan objects throughout the spaceport to discover what's inside, hack into select devices, and decrypt communications sent by the planet's many residents. Your Datapad can even help you keep track of credits you earn on a mission for Hondo Ohnaka at
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run.
I hope you have a
Walt Disney World Resort vacation of galactic proportions! 'Til the Spires!
