It wouldn't be Star Wars without ships, speeders and transportation vehicles, and you can find several, built at full scale, throughout the landscape of Batuu.


A-wing Starfighter

Location: Resistance Mobile Command Post

With its sleek arrowhead shape, streamlined cockpit and massive twin engines, the A-wing suggests raw speed. Used first by the Rebel Alliance and now the Resistance, it is well suited for quick strikes.

First Order TIE echelon

Location: Docking Bay 9 (First Order Encampment)

A new assault vehicle in the TIE (twin ion engine) series, this echelon shuttle is used by the First Order mainly for small troop and cargo transport.

Landspeeders

Location: Black Spire Station

There are two models of speeders in for repairs in the garage at Black Spire Station: an X-34 model, similar to one Luke Skywalker uses in “Star Wars: A New Hope,” and a Jakku speeder, built from scavenged parts.

Millennium Falcon

Location: Spaceport

Once flown by iconic smuggler Han Solo and his Wookiee first mate, Chewbacca, the Millennium Falcon is sometimes lovingly referred to as “the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy.” The YT-1300 Corellian freighter is currently being loaned to Hondo Ohnaka, the former pirate who owns and operates Ohnaka Transport Solutions.

Sienar-Chall Utilipede-Transport

Location: Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo

Chef Strono “Cookie” Tuggs uses this modified shuttle as a mobile kitchen and restaurant, jumping from one planet to the next as a “traveling diner for diners traveling.” It is currently atop Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo, turning the hangar into a dining establishment in Black Spire Outpost.

X-wing Starfighter

Location: Resistance Mobile Command Post

A versatile ship balancing speed and firepower, the X-wing is a nimble starfighter used in dogfights first by the Rebel Alliance and now the Resistance. Its name comes from the “X” its four wings create when they’re locked in attack position.

Thank GOODNESS. I’ve been thinking about how this all lined up a few days ago. Thanks for the work!

Yes that’s what I was referring to. The fact that both were done after the fact when they realized their mistake but with those they used real cover and not tarps with space in between.

If I’m being honest, I like the bottom one the most.

Well, the Mad Tea Party was open air for the first two years.

A chat on twitter spurred me on to do something I’ve wondered about for a while now : GE with the 2005 LMA changes superimposed : And even further back, GE with Residential Street:

Yes, it could have been done better. If the objective was to actually provide shade.

Skipping a small show not meant to be a draw is very different from skipping a brand new E ticket. I would get it if you’re scared or physically prevented from riding it.

Hey…I don’t remember having this on my list. I can’t speak for 1-23 though.

Mr. EngagementApr 11, 2026

Man, it seems like just a couple months ago that all the Eeyores around here were complaining about the new shade area between SWGE and Toy Story land before it was completed. And here we are, for another round!

Can you imagine if this is how they handled shade and cover in front of Haunted Mansion and over the Mad Tea Party way back when?

BocabearApr 10, 2026

Clearly with the greeting of "Bright Suns" the city planning committee for Black Spire would understand a need for shade...lol. I get they want it to be thematically consistent, but when it is so consistent that it fails to reach the objective, it is clearly a failure that helps no-one...Use an opaque cloth, add seating, and cover most of the area.... Create a storyline that it is a "Droid Charging Base" and add some phone chargers and lots of bench seating... Make the shade roof something impermeable for the frequent Florida rains....but don't hang up pieces of netting material that don't cover an area...with no seating and consider that a job well done....

Laugh emoji on a serious post is against the rules @Ayla @Professortango1

AylaApr 10, 2026

Well, that's embarrassing.

IncomudroApr 10, 2026

It appears as though people will really have to look down at the ground, see where the shade from the awnings is cast, get there, and hope the Earth isn't rotating too quickly.
