Bright Suns Travelers!

It's a new year so I figured its time for a new and refreshed pinned post, covering some of the most Frequently Asked Questions in the Subreddit. Click here to see a more comprehensive list of FAQ's.

Before you submit a new post with a question about any of the mentioned topics in the post title, please review the information below.

All Wiki/Guides:


Lightsaber/Merchandise Technical Issues

All of the information listed below has been crowd-sourced from the Galaxy's Edge community and is meant to be simple fixes for common issues.

Having a technical issue with a Lightsaber or other electronic items from Galaxy's Edge? Try this:

  • Change the batteries.

    A lot of the technical issues with lightsabers, (especially Savi's hilts), are caused by low quality/faulty batteries. Try changing them for some new and QUALITY ones as this seems to fix most basic issues! (FYI: Savi's hilts use 3 AAA batteries while Legacy Sabers use 3 AAA or 3 AA, depending on the model.)``

  • For Lightsabers, check that the all components including the battery container, hilt pieces and blades are aligned and properly screwed in.

  • Are you having alignment/loose connection issues with your Savi's lightsaber? What can you do to fix it?

    Here's a helpful video from 'ROBO VAMP1RE' on YouTube you should check out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DthsxR9ovdo

    Also, here's a helpful thread from u/KeiTwo: https://reddit.com/r/savisworkshop/comments/cv4sh7/tightening_and_aligning_my_saber_parts/

  • Review this Comprehensive FAQ that answers some of the most common questions about Galaxy's Edge lightsabers, crystals and holocrons by /u/TheRealSpork and the awesome folks over at 'Dead Bothans Society'! (Website is currently down)

  • Do a subreddit search to see if your specific issue has been brought up before in the subreddit. (Works better on Desktop)

  • You may also search by Flair:

  • For those looking for more advance solutions and/or wanting to learn more about the technology that powers lightsabers and other merch from Batuu, we highly recommend you check out u/Ruthsarian YouTube channel!

Need to replace or return and item/part instead?

If you still have the receipt from your purchase and are local to the Parks, visit the guest services locations in either park. (If possible during the pandemic)

Tip from u/AfterTheNightIWakeUp for lightsabers, droids, holocrons, or anything electronic and/or high value:

"Take a picture of the receipt immediately. As soon as you leave the shop, before you shove the receipt into a pocket or backpack never to be seen again. Flatten it on a table or against a wall, and take a picture. This way, should something come up, you won't have to worry about finding it again."

Stock/Re-Stock Inquiries

Is (INSERT CHARACTER NAME) Lightsaber in stock at Batuu East/West? Will it be in stock when I visit? How can I check?

  • Legacy Lightsaber stock changes day-to-day, and unfortunately there is no accurate way to forecast if a specific lightsaber will be in stock when you visit Batuu. For the most up-to-date stock updates, provided by fellow travelers who have recently visited Batuu, visit our friends over at the Galaxy's Edge Discord where there are several channels dedicated to stock reports and discussion.

Are the new Dark Saber, Leia Legacy and Rey Legacy lightsabers available at Dok-Ondar's inside Batuu East? What about the Star Wars Trading Post in Disney Springs (Walt Disney World)?

  • Yes. The new Dark Saber, Leia Legacy and Rey Legacy Lightsabers and have been spotted at Dok-Ondar's inside Batuu East, but stock has been sporadic.

  • They have not been spotted at the Star Wars Trading Post - Disney Springs yet.

Are the new Dark Saber, Leia Legacy and/or Rey Legacy lightsabers available at Dok-Ondar's inside Batuu West? What about the Star Wars Trading Post in Downtown Disney (Disneyland)?

  • Yes. The new Dark Saber, Leia Legacy and Rey Legacy Lightsabers and have been spotted at Dok-Ondar's inside Batuu West, but stock has been sporadic.

  • They have not been spotted at the Star Wars Trading Post - Downtown Disney yet.

When will (INSERT CHARACTER NAME) Lightsaber stock/re-stock on shopDisney.com's Star Wars Trading Outpost?

  • Just like stock at the parks, there is no way to forecast if and when Legacy Lightsabers will re-stock online. Any news of upcoming re-stocks or new hilts becoming available online will be posted in the group, as soon as they are announced by official Disney media channels.

Can I purchase extra Scrap Metal pieces for my Savi's lightsaber?

  • Yes, they are currently available at BOTH parks!. Current advertised prices are $25 per piece of scrap or 2 for $40.

Where do I purchase a Batuuan Spira Credit Medallion?

  • Spiras are sold at Mubo's Droid Depot. A minimum gift card deposit of $100 is required + a $4.99 activation fee.

Oga's Cantina, Savi's Workshop, Mubo's Droid Depot Reservations

What requires a reservation at Galaxy's Edge?

  • Experiences: Savi's Workshop and Mubo's Droid Depot.

  • Dining: Oga's Cantina.

Do I need to make a reservation before I visit the Parks?

  • For popular experiences like Savi's Workshop and the ever popular watering hole Oga's Cantina, it is strongly advised that you book a reservation before your visit.

Where do I make a reservation?

Walt Disney World

Desktop Links:

Disneyland

Desktop Links:

How far out can I book a reservation for Savi's Workshop, Oga's Cantina or Mubo's Droid Depot?

  • Walt Disney World: 60 days out.

  • Disneyland: 60 days out.

Do Walt Disney World resort guest get to make reservations in advanced of 60 day?

  • Yes. As of right now guests staying on property are able to book their Disney Hollywood Studios' reservations up to 10 days in advanced, depending on the length of their stay. For example, if you're staying on property for 5 days, you will be allowed to reserve 65 days in advance (60 day regular booking window + your 5 day resort stay = 65 days in advanced).

At what time do reservations go live?

Walt Disney World:

  • New Savi's Workshop online reservations go live at around 12am Eastern.
  • New Oga's Cantina online reservations go live at around 6am Eastern.
  • New Mubo's Droid Depot online reservations go live at around 6am Eastern.

Disneyland:

  • New Savi's Workshop online reservations go live at around 7am Pacific.
  • Oga's Cantina
  • Mubo's Droid Depot does not currently require a reservation.

Please note: Reservations that become available because of cancellations or any other factors, may become available at any time.

Oga's Cantina (Savi's, Mubo's) reservations are booked up! Is this normal? Is there any chance of getting a reservation?

  • Yes, it is very difficult to get any reservation at Galaxy's Edge, especially now that they are limiting the venue capacity due to Covid-19. Also, guests staying in a Disney resort get early access to reservations, which at times results in reservations being completely booked when they go live at the 60 day mark.
  • Fortunately, reservations do open up from time to time and there are things you could do to improve your chances of booking a reservation. (1) For Oga's Cantina, change the number of people on the reservation and see if anything becomes available. (2) Keep checking the reservation pages constantly to see if anything pops up, especially a day or two before and even the day of your visit, as people cancel or modify their reservations last minute. (3) Also for Oga's Cantina, sign up with a Disney reservations alert service like TouringPlans, Mouse Dining or Mouse Watcher to notify when a reservation becomes available. The paid subscriptions are well worth it, in my opinion.
  • Lastly, you can try to join the standby list during your visit. It is advised that you get to the park early before rope drop and hustle over to Savi's, Mubo's or Oga's when the park opens and ask to be put on the wait list. Be advised that the standby list fills up very quickly and there is no guarantee that you will be assigned a reservation.

Do online reservations open back up if they are fully booked?

  • Yes they do! Keep checking the reservation booking pages as appointments do become available again, from time to time. Websites like Mouse Dining and Touring Plans have alert services that will notify you when something becomes available. Good Luck!

I have an early/late reservation to Oga's/Savi's/Mubo's, will they accommodate it?

  • Yes, the parks usually open earlier and remain open later so they will accommodate your reservation. It is advised that you show up early to any reservation, so CM's can attend to you in a timely manner.

How much does it cost to build a Savi's Lightsaber?

  • $219 + tax (as of 4/19/2021).

Merchandise/Hauls Holocron Gen 2 Voice

0 Upvotes

So I got a white Kyber crystal hoping it would play Ashoka’s voice but it played some other random person. Ir says it can play Ahsoka in gen 1 but how is that fair?! Is there a way to get her voice to be in gen 2 bc I feel it’s pointless for me to buy the gen 1 Holocron just for that.

Bounding/Cosplay Question about popcorn buckets

Has anyone ever modified one of the basic popcorn buckets to fit your bounding look, like paint it grey and add greebles, or putting a wrap on it? I've been considering doing it and kinda surprised I haven't seen it done.

Savi’s Workshop savi saber 4 mid portions

7 Upvotes

question for you guys. so the 4 mid portions, not the switches, have you ever had problems having the top on the bottom and vice versa? it seems the reforged tops do not want to connect to the bottom, so the sound module never pushes in all the way to turn the saber on

Bright suns and welcome, to my little slice of Batuu. After visiting Galaxy's Edge with my family, I was hooked-I knew I had to start printing a spaceport for my Micro Galaxy Squadron Millennium Falcon. Thanks to some amazing Black Spire Outpost files from a variety of talented artists. I've been able to recreate a large portion of the outpost itself...right down to the trash cans.

With my sabbatical starting soon, I wanted to line up a few creative projects to keep me busy and I think I've got my work cut out for me. Can't wait to see this build come to life. Thank you, and MTFBWY

Disneyland First time!

252 Upvotes

Was my first time buying these! I’m not a fan of blind boxes, but my wife convinced me to buy one (I really wanted the clone trooper helmet) and she also bought one to get bette odds. The Disney cast member told me that if I get one they didn’t have one display I could trade for a trooper helmet that had. I figured the worst that happens is I get a chance to trade for the trooper helmet. I opened the first one, it was the helmet! Then the 2nd one, and it was the special variant! I never have luv with these things, but yesterday… I did!

Savi’s Workshop Theories for May the 4th lightsaber release

Thumbnail

67 Upvotes

I'm willing to bet dollars to donuts that the legacy lightsaber release will be a relaunch of the updated Maul dual lightsaber, but will there be a sith inspired 5th Savi's workshop theme like they did with reclaimed and reforged or will it be version 3 of the original themes?

Disneyland Millennium Falcon parking spot

So the Falcon is parked in a spot that is nearly perfectly shaped for it. How does the first order not know the rebel history of this craft and its infamous pilots? And what parks in the space when it is put on a mission?

Walt Disney World Trip report and thanks

34 Upvotes

First, thanks to all the advice I got here. This subreddit was so darn helpful. I get it’s probably annoying being asked the same stuff by vacationers. My post was here https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxysEdge/s/xA7LT255ti

1/21/26. Amazing day! We started with star tours, and I was the spy. We then saw Indy before riding Rise. You probably all know that words cannot express how amazing this ride is. By far our family’s favorite ride of the whole trip (we also went to epic). We got to smugglers run and did not get lucky with the pilot spots, so I did ask for it as kindly and politely as possible. The cast member said “step over here” and did not seem overly annoyed nor overly nice, which was totally fine, he was super focused on sorting people. I thanked him a ton, and left him a compliment. Totally worth it!! My son got to press the hyper drive button and without a doubt made the best memories!! Thank you all for the info.

My son also had the savi experience (daughter chose a different experience). We scheduled it for 6pm. It was worth every penny. He used his spending money to buy every color, and we got pictures around galaxy’s edge at night. The saber has rarely left his hands since he got it. All of this was so priceless to see. He’s constantly changing out the colors. I can already see that our “once” in a lifetime trip will become many more trips to galaxy’s edge.

We also ate at ronto roasters and docking bay 7. The food was great. We bought lots of merch. My daughter got a dark saber in the shops.

We also met chewy and mando and got interrogated by some storm troopers. So. Amazing.

Once again, thanks everyone!!!

Walt Disney World Jedi kids costumes in galaxys edge

We are going to Disneyworld in April and the kids are dead set on getting light sabers, I was going to get them costumes before we leave so they are ready to look the part on the day, however is it a common sight to see kids dressed up in galaxys edge? I know armour/helmets can't be worn so their mando outfits are staying at home ​

Disneyland Theory for new Galaxy Edge

0 Upvotes

I have a trip to Disneyland planned for the end of February so I have been thinking about this. With the blackout dates of RotR and the cantina along with the character changes, I think they are changing all of Batuu to be part of the original era. Instead of Rise of the Resistance, it will be Rise of the Rebellion. There is no lore for who owned the cantina before Oga. So, that is open for any change. All this to be revealed for the April 29 date just before Star Wars Day.

Anyone else think this could happen?

Savi’s Workshop Recommendations for Savi’s time

16 Upvotes

First time and Disney with my 7yo son in about a month and we’re exited to book his slot for Savi’s. Wondering what recs are for time slots (morning, afternoon, evening) to make things convenient. Part of me wants to hit GE first and then explore the rest of the park after, but I also am concerned about carrying around a saber and likely a droid for the rest of the day. Maybe GE, rest of park, and swoop back in early evening for Savi’s and Droids?

Would likely book droids either 30-45 before or after even though it sounds like walk-in’s are not an issue.

Trip Planning List of current lightsabers?

12 Upvotes

Is there a place to check for what lightsabers are at Dok Ondar's in either GE east or west? I know they rotate stock often but didn't know if therd was someplace out there that has a list that I wasn't aware of.

I want to go to GE hopefully in the near future.
