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).

Question Ewok Buddy Functions Troubleshooting

5 Upvotes

I got an Ewok from someone else (haven’t been able to get to the park). I’ve done each of the resets I’ve found, but they haven’t changed anything.

The belly rub feature doesn’t seem to work or consistently work. Can anyone who what that reaction looks like so I can see if it’s working right or not? I can’t find videos of that. I’d also love to see videos of what it looks like when the Ewok and a Batuu R2 interact at home.

Droid Depot Spooky season droid panels

Haven’t seen any posts about this yet (might’ve missed them) so I wanted to share some pictures.

I went to Batuu East a couple of weeks ago and found some new accessory panels in the Droid Depot. The panels are a cool purple color, with spider web accents that glow in the dark!

The pack also includes a personality chip, that sounds mostly like the default R2-D2, but with a couple of additional sounds that are perfect for spooky season!

Just thought I’d share, in case anyone was interested in some new accent panels.

Savi’s Workshop Best way to get blade and hilt home?

4 Upvotes

I’ll be flying home from Orlando to New York the day after I build mine.

1) Does TSA have a problem with the hilt in carry-on?

2) What’s the best way to get the blade home? Should I ship it from Disney? (Cost isn’t really a factor) Seems seems like a long fragile thing for carry-on.

Scrapper Saturdays Scrapper Saturday Transmission: Mounts for Jedi, Sith, and Everyone in Between

Thumbnail

17 Upvotes

Scrapper Saturday is back — I may have missed last week, but the workshop droids didn’t. They’ve been arguing nonstop about whether Jedi or Sith organize their gear better, so I settled the debate the only way I know how: by building mounts that work for both sides of the Force.

Whether you wield a calm, elegant blade or something powered by pure rage, the wall mounts at the outpost are designed to fit every style. Horizontal, vertical, minimalist, dramatic — if it holds a lightsaber, we’ve got it.

And while you’re outfitting your armory wall, don’t forget the rest of the gear the droids have been polishing:

  • Holocron stands — because ancient knowledge shouldn’t be rolling around your desk
  • Kyber wall displays — show off your crystals like the unstable little miracles they are
  • Spira coin holders — keep your credits secure, organized, and out of the hands of suspicious smugglers
  • Mandalorian‑themed décor — perfect for that mythosaur‑approved mancave you’ve been building

If your collection needs structure, glow, or a little Mandalorian intimidation, the outpost doors are open: https://izzysdesignlab.etsy.com

May your sabers stay mounted, your holocrons stay upright, and your mancave, or whatever corner of the house your rancor let's you decorate, stay worthy of the Creed.

Question How to display Imperial Credits

Hey gang, I picked up the set of Imperial Credits at GE East today and I had planned on putting them on my challenge coin display... well... they are too thick for the challenge coin slots, so that won't work.

How are you all displaying yours? Thanks!

Savi’s Workshop Can different lightsaber sets be combined with other parts from other sets?

It would be cool if they could. Like if I bring my old saber to the workshop again could I “upgrade” the parts?

Heading to WDW next week and will be building my first hilt. Really wanted a reclaimed/reforged theme, but I know those aren’t available. Is there an up-to-date site for pre-building these ahead of time?

Thanks in advance. Super stoked. MTFBWY.

My themed Batuu office. Everything is hand painted/made.

Wanted a getaway in my own home with the feel of scrapped-together parts. And that batuu feel from the parks.

Always adding to it and changing.
Definitely a vibe though with all the lights at night.

Spent 10 days in Florida, primarily for universal but had a day free to go over to Disney. Blew my mind walking in… me, my best friend and fiancé all made lightsabers and walked round after dark. Safe to say it’s become a core memory.

Tried to grab as much as possible while there for the day, unfortunately no rare kybers were pulled… did grab a full standard V2 set though

Question Cal Kestis Legacy Saber Issue

3 Upvotes

Hi guys! Just got the Cal Kestis legacy saber yesterday at Galaxy’s Edge, assembled it, and it worked BEAUTIFULLY.

However today, I removed the blade and reinserted for whatever reason and now it won’t light up. The audio works just fine though which is weird.

I already swapped to new batteries 3 times to make sure it wasn’t a battery issue.

I did read on here that other person with the saber had to get blade in just right to get it to work.

Any other potential fixes you guys got would be much appreciated 🙏🏻

Merchandise/Hauls Advice with buying kyber crystals

Post image
238 Upvotes

Hi guys, so as the title suggests I need some advice in relation to buying kyber crystals.

I have recently returned from Florida where naturally I’ve built my lightsaber and chosen a blue crystal(this being Luke skywalker).

My understanding is that the crystals used when building are series 1 crystals and I understand there are 26 of those to collect;

Blue
Old obi wan
Old Luke

Green
Yoday
Qui-gon

Purple
Mace windu

White
Ashoka
Chirrut imwe

Yellow
Maz Kanata
Jedi temple guard

Red
Sidious
Maul
Dooku
Vader

Black
Snoke

I’ve also seen a red Vader and green yoda “8-ball” but I’m unsure what this means.

So my question how can I go about go about collecting all of these for my series 2 holocron?

How do I know that a blue crystal is obi wan instead of Luke or that a red is Vader instead of maul?

And does the type of crystal I get make a difference? Like there are two obi wan crystals, do they do different things or is it literally just a different design and if that’s the case I can just buy one of each character?

I know the series 2 ones come with little information strips about who’s crystal it is so shouldn’t have much issue completing my collection of series 2s.

Does the series 1 count me with this as well?

I did see a photo online of various crystals which I have attached and I think it actually came from this Reddit some years ago.

That also confused me as to what everything meant on there
.
I understand (v1) means versions one
But I am unsure what the (c1) and (c2) means
As well as the RFID#
