Bright Suns, Kimberly!
How great it is to hear that you and your younglings will be visiting
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge very soon. No visit to the Black Spire Outpost is complete for me without stopping at
Ronto Roasters and I hope you get a chance to stop in for a snack!
A couple of years ago, my family met with the Gatherers, and we were able to use their "scrap metal" to form our very own lightsabers at
Savi's Workshop. At the time my youngest Padawan was 11 years old, and I had the same question as you do. As long as someone in the group is at least 14 years old, your 11-year-old will be able to build their own lightsaber or droid, even if everyone in your group is building items, too. If your party is divided into two separate groups to build droids at the
Droid Depot and also to build lightsabers at
Savi's workshop at the same time, then the 11-year-old will need someone who is at least 14 years old to be with them.
I have a bonus tip for you: After you have built your lightsabers, head on over next door to
Dok-Ondar's Den of Antiquities and buy additional kyber crystals to switch out in your lightsabers.
I hope this information helps you with your plans while you are visiting Batuu. If you have any further questions, please come back and visit us here at planDisney.
Til the Spire,
Brenda
