Bright suns, Riley! Welcome to planDisney.
So you're headed to
Black Spire Outpost? There's no place like it in the galaxy. Traders, smugglers, and Resistance sympathizers all pass through these streets, so keep your eyes open. The First Order's been making more patrols lately, and the stormtroopers don't exactly smile at unidentified folks carrying "suspicious" gear.
Speaking of such things, even if it’s not from
Savi’s forge and doesn’t collapse, a lightsaber should be allowed through spaceport security. Plenty of travelers come through Batuu carrying sabers crafted in other systems. Just don’t go swinging it around or making a scene, especially near the troopers. They’ve got a sharp eye and no patience. As you pass through
Disney Hollywood Studios (a necessary destination on route to Batuu), security at the gates might give it a look, but if it’s safe and not sharp or heavy like a blunt weapon, it usually makes it through without issue. Still, rules can change, so checking
Disney’s official guidelines before your visit is always smart.
Here’s a tip from a local: if a stormtrooper questions you, just tell them it’s a "scrap metal souvenir." Most of them are too busy scanning commlinks to press further. Safe travels, Riley.
May the spires keep you!
Mike
