I have done both. Savi's is a much better more intimate experience of the two. Is it worth another $150? I don't know. I also did it before the price hike so I "saved" a little bit there. I am glad I did it but wouldn't do it again probably.

I haven't done the lightsaber building (and never will at that price; I'm not that interested) but I have done the droid building because my GF wanted to try it. It's definitely not worth the price. The droid itself is neat enough, but it feels like the "experience" is the reason for the price and there's very little to it.

It’s definetly pricey, but it’s not *that* much more than a Legacy Saber and it is an incredible experience.

I'm sure this has been discussed ad nauseum on here, but how could anyone think this is worth the price?

For those making reservations at Savi's Workshop - Handbuilt Lightsabers, be aware that Disney says full payment is now due at the time of booking vs the payment being due upon arrival at the location.

Her stoic personality is the result of poor directors who don't know how direct a strong female character without portraying one as personality less, bland, dull person, with no emotions. They (various directors) do this constantly now

Except Luke was not introduced to mass audiences in Return of the Jedi. The movie's first 40 minutes are the end of the previous film. And RotJ Luke is also my least favourite Luke.

Funny thing is the several times I rode Hondo was working perfect, but his droid was either still, or simply turning his head. It wasn't until the last time that I got to see how animated he could be.

If you only knew Luke from "Return of the Jedi" one might think similarly.

Confirmed! Galaxy's Edge to get fountain powered by the broken dreams of fans!

Hondo was there and working 2 weeks ago. That's the newest information I have.

I respect your opinion. I also love Andor. Rouge One is my favorite SW film so I was immediately in love with Andor, the production value doesn't hurt either though.

I tried watching the cartoons, but the characters and writing just seemed like it was aimed at children. And for good reason, because it was. But I watched about 15 episodes and stopped because it felt like homework. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. The problem I had with all of the cartoon characters in Clone Wars was that they never gave the general audience a reason to care about these characters. Fanbois were excited to see Ahsoka and the lady Mando, but if you were just meeting these characters in their live-action debut, you just didn't care. Andor did far more. You don't need to watch Rogue One to enjoy Andor, it just is fantastic and features really great writing/directing/acting. You can't rely on previous stories, especially ones that were aimed at small audiences, to do the legwork for characters.

Ahsoka is my favorite SW character so I guess I’m a little biased, but I think her “stoic” personality is the result of the tragic events of the Clone Wars & Rebels. The siege of mandalore and how it leads into Order 66 is some of the best storytelling in all of Star Wars. I highly recommend watching the animated shows
