Merchandise is obviously going to be a huge component of Star Wars Galaxy's Edge, and Disney has today released details on some of what you can buy and where.

Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities – For those in the know, Dok-Ondar is the Ithorian you seek for selling and buying rare and uniquely-valued items from across the galaxy and spanning all eras. You will find Dok at his desk, checking his inventory, taking calls, and barking orders at his assistants

Savi’s Workshop – Handbuilt Lightsabers – Guests come to the workshop to meet with the Gatherers – a secretive group of people who have dedicated their lives to restoring balance in the galaxy by passing on their knowledge of Jedi lore and the Force. The workshop Master guides guests to customize and build their own unique lightsabers, and instructs them on the ways of the Jedi.

At the heart of every saber is a kyber crystal, and during a guided tour, each guest will have four options to choose from: Peace Justice (modeled after Jedi from the Republic era); Power Control (a nod to the Sith); Elemental Nature (harnessing air, earth, fire, and water); and Defense (shrouded in mystery).

Droid Depot – Visitors to Mubo’s workshop can choose parts and construct their own individual astromech droids to accompany them on their journey, and then take them home with them.

The Droid Depot is located in the market, inviting patrons to pick parts and pieces off a conveyor belt, then build and customize their astromech droids (R-series or BB-series); the droids are capable of interacting with elements in the land, responding to guests’ behaviors. Additional programming chips and accessories can be added to the droids to further customize their abilities. The Droid Depot will also offer guests pre-built droids, including a C-3PO who has quite a bit to say (especially if you “accidentally” take off his head and put it on backwards!) and a Rex who will happily play whatever music you have on your smartphone through an intergalactic Bluetooth connection.

First Order Cargo – A spaceport hangar bay serves as the temporary base and landing spot for the First Order. First Order officers have brought in crates of gear, uniforms and other supplies to win the hearts and minds of locals and visitors to Black Spire Outpost.

Resistance Supply – Resistance members and local sympathizers oversee a makeshift stall that supplies Resistance uniforms, pins, badges, hats, helmets, jackets, maps, tools, training supplies, food rations and other items.

There are also several market stalls which sell a variety of merchandise such as:

  • Toydarian Toymaker (toys)
  • Creature Stall (interesting critters that you can take home with you)
  • Black Spire Outfitters (clothing)
  • The Jewels of Bith (accessories and other trinkets to treasure)

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

I actually liked Hondo’s inclusion. Is he actually there again or no?

Professortango12 days ago

He's more known, however most of us who didn't watch the cartoons don't know either one. She showed up in Mando and I thought it was some terrible character they created to give Rosario a cameo like Jack Black. At least JB had personality. She was bland as Old Spaghetti Factory bread.

I don’t know if I would say Ahsoka is “unknown”. Way more popular than Hondo and they chose him to headline one of the Galaxy’s Edge attractions

Replacing Hondo with another unknown character from the cartoons?

Mike S2 days ago

Yes, but why Ashoka specifically. If it’s just some kind of test surely they’d just need the bare minimum and no extra fluff like someone’s specific characteristics.

Looks like the idea is for an animatronic to actually pick up a lightsaber and maybe even activate it using the Starcruiser tech. The arm is larger than normal as is often the case with human figures that are meant to be seen at a distance.
