Be one with the Force: The best tips for navigating Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge

(David Roark/Disney Parks)

There are two interactive experiences inside Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, Savi’s Workshop where you can build a customized lightsaber, and the Droid Depot where you can build your own custom droid. During the reservation-only period for Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, there is no way to do both of these experiences within the four-hour time period. During the non-reservation time, you can do both, but it will take most of the day.

The droids are the least expensive option at $100. Inside the Droid Depot, collect your droid parts from a conveyor belt, then take all of the pieces to a building station to assemble your new droid. One of the most fun parts about this experience is that you can add a personality chip to your droid for an extra $14, which will allow your droid to align as a First Order, Resistance or Smuggler droid.

Inside Savi’s Workshop, groups of 14 can build their own lightsaber then go through a sort of ceremony with Yoda. The lightsabers are $200 each, and this has been the most popular of the two experiences. We expect that to be a continuing trend as more and more people will be entering the new land and see how incredible this really is.
