The BDX droids have officially landed at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge in Walt Disney World, and we were there for one of the first public performances.
Lifelike Movements and Personality on Display
The performance featured three of the BDX droids, Red, Oskar and Grey, roaming near the Droid Depot where the droids showed off a mix of playful animations, head tilts, blinking, and lighthearted reactions to their surroundings.
Each droid moved fluidly, with gestures that felt reactive and intentional. These aren't just roaming props - they're fully realized characters, able to convey mood and personality through motion and sound.
Where and When to See Them
The BDX droids are appearing now through August 30, Tuesday through Saturday, at these scheduled times and lcoations.

A Glimpse at the Future of Disney Parks
These first appearances mark the next step in integrating advanced robotic characters into the parks. Developed by Walt Disney Imagineering, the BDX droids use real-time animation cues, custom hardware, and simulation-based movement to create believable characters that can adapt to guest interactions.
