Full Droid Building Experience at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge | Walt Disney World
Bright suns! ~Leap~ along with us as we head into Droid Depot at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge to build our very own droid!
Located on the planet of Batuu inside Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Droid Depot allows Black Spire Outpost travelers to build a ~toadally~ personalized droid from scratch. Once inside (0:13), guests can begin shopping for parts for their droid (0:36), either BB-series or R-series, and bring them back to the building station (1:04). There, they will put their new best friend together (2:12) until it is ready for activation (6:10), when they will experience the ~frogtastic~ feeling of watching the droid come to life (6:48). Because there is a “no roaming policy” in Galaxy’s Edge, droids are placed in a box (9:09) for their new owners to carry around the park. The experience costs $99 and is ~toadally~ worth it in our experience!
Make sure to read our full Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge guide before ~hopping~ into the park: www.undercovertourist.com/blo...

Would you build an BB-series or R-series droid? Let us know in the comments below! - Tad
I would Build a R-Series Droid, and It would be a Colorful one, It would have a White Body, a White Dome Head, Blue legs, and It's Name would Be.......(Drum Rolls)........M-I-C-K-2020, But It's Nickname would be Mick, also It'll have White and Blue Accessories too.
That sounds like a _frogtastic_ droid!
I think I’m going to make an r2 droid I’ll give him black everything and all the details will be green! I’m going to be making mine in about a week! I’m so excited!
BB
I'm going to make an r2 unit with a gray and purple color scheme, and give it a black personality chip (and blasters based on budget). His name is going to be SN-ES
I like how they give you a box like Build-A-Bear lmao
It's literally build a bear but star wars
@@drewstauffer3667 yeah I was totally going to say the same thing
Build a bot
Build-A-Droid
SAME!!!
"Dont worry if you hear it talking. It's probably not plotting anything too bad". That ain't good 😂😂😂
The droid a week later looked it’s master, and returned to the First Order to go under cover again
No if its talking its real good 😃😃😃😃
My suggestion is to get a Droid instead of a lightsaber. The Droid is way better and half the cost. The lightsabers they give you are at best a third the cost of what they charge you for one.
Yea true. Don't they sell drink trays you can attach for the droid too? Because that would be hella cool for a party when your little droid is rolling out drinks for guests
@@alem1655 fr
And you can get 2 droids for the price of 1 saber, So you can make both series
True but i like the saber more
Both.Both are good.
Definitely gonna buy the backpack & carry him around like a baby! 😁
That would be _toadally_ adorable!
UndercoverTourist.com bad pun.
@@rachanataparia Bad humor.
That’s like $165
I did. It was completely worth it. It's a nice bag it's got a foam liner so your Droid doesn't move around.
Gonk droids should be an option here
That’s too much power for any man
@@cloudy_kitsune7909 yeah, like these gonk droids have too much energy and they are basically hard to build
I want a mouse droid!!
gOnK
@@wonder_9315 very late but you can buy a mouse/mse droid from galaxy’s edge
I built one there about 3 years ago and it still works like its brand new
We play with ours all the time too!
This year I will be going to A build a R2D2 unit and B build a Lightsaber I went to Disneyland last year for the first time in my life and had a blast I've only ever been to Disney World
NICE
cool @@undercovertourist
In 50 years you will be able to make a ship
Comment win
Just steal back the falcon Duh
It will be an rc first but in 100 years it’s gonna be real
I've had no desire to go to Disneyland whatsoever, but with this, the sabers, and Avengers Campus I have to now.
This is Disney World not Disney Land.
@Thranduil XV its like the star wars area but avengers
@Thranduil XV the new addition to the disney california adventure park
@@sheevpalpatine6139 same thing but Disney world employees interact with the customer a lot more and friendlier
@@sheevpalpatine6139 it’s disneyland
If I had a droid I’ll name it R2-Diva
Gotta name it R2-D1V4
that noise with the screw - that's called stripping the screw. Not a good thing
It does kindof sound like that on the video, but it's just the clutch breaking over to limit torque.
I never knew that
@@argophontes Correct.
This was a more interactive experience than many other build videos - nice to see the storekeeper interact like they did.
I'd build a R5 in black and orange with either a smuggler or resistance personality chips, maybe both.
omg that looks like so much fun
I like how they make all the Droid parts different colors so you can decide on what color you want your Droid to be
"your just going in a little box your fine"
I know this was made 2 years ago but it is my favorite video ever! I makes me so happy
This makes us so happy, Bunnybee - thanks for sharing!
BRO I DONT CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS, I WANT TO DO THIS SO BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Same
Dang same
why would anyone talk bad about this
This would be some good asmr
This almost feels like a Build-A-Bear Workshop type of thing.
Just flew into Orlando today! Hitting up Hollywood studios tomorrow and this will definitely be a stop!
Have fun!
That looks fun
We LOVED it! Highly recommend ... then you get to play with your droid at home, too!
Honestly wish you could order these online :/ as someone who realisticly will probably never get to go lol
That’s the point, I think Disney exclusives
If someone sees this comment and happens to do that experience, can you ask if there's the parts to create a Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-class?
This is way cooler and cheaper than the $200 lightsaber
Brent Thomas I agree but the lightsaber is a WAY different experience... you’ve got actors, the pieces of the lightsaber costs way more then the droids and you’ve got a way better show then the droids
Yeah and you can build a lightsaber on dozens of different websites, but you can only build a droid at disney
@@theodd3sout627 I personally just thought the lightsaber was cooler than the droid. For the price, yes the droid is better, but for experience, the lightsaber is better.
💲💲How much is it? ✨ I love it!!!!
when did you go. looks kinda calm in there.
It’s so funny and cute if I’m making a black BB unit I’m gonna name it BBB8
BB Are Da Best
i wanna do this so bad lol
Nice
Looks like I’m going to Disneyland, hope I can build a little BD - 1
Should have did leg pieces white n black to match the middle
Dose it need battery's?
How much did it cost ??
Me encantó que suerte poder ir...from Chile.
How much do you pay to build your droid? Thanks
❤❤❤
How did you know what parts to grab on the conveyor? And what made you choose r2d2 instead of bb8?
Hi! We already had a BB unit at home, so we decided to get an R-series this time 🙂 When you build, you get a basket that has a visual diagram of the parts you need for each unit so you can match them to what you see go by on the conveyor - and there are helpful cast members nearby too to help!
How much is it to do this please and do you need to prebook?
Droids are $99.99 and we do recommend getting a reservation. Read more about the experience at the link below: www.undercovertourist.com/blog/droid-depot-galaxys-edge-disney-world/
I’d probably build a black and silver (or white) BB unit The name BB-111 has a nice ring to it
Ive got a reservation to build a droing next sunday.I want to get an R6 unit
I’m gonna make bb-9E attach a taser to it and it’ll become Battlefront 2 irl
Not the cable spin
How much money are they
I want a droid
is this in disney land paris?
I have like the exact same thing but Lego lol
I wish they had a bd1 type of droid
my eldest nephew and I did the Star Wars experience
bb series
I’m going there!!!
Woohoo! Which model are you making?!
I wish they could do a sound for the r2 unit and if you hold the button long enough it will make the screaming sound
Ha, we'd love that too!
Annoying that the R units are more customisation than the BB units. Correct me if I'm wrong... there don't seem to be any plates or attachments other than the personality chip for the BB units.
Disney site shows just as many pieces on both
That's cause the BB units suck lol What else would you expect from a soccerball
@@drewwar9344 geez man, don't have to say that
@@drewwar9344 at least bb units dont need wheels
@@APerson-ro5tnbecause they are stupid marketing opportunities
she said lifetime companion
Do the droids have an on off switch. Does it run off batteries
Brian G yes they do have the on and off Steiger and yes the do use batteries
Where’s the b1 battle droid option
Prefer this to the lighsaber one
Can they ship to a Disney hotel or home once you are done building?
Hi Deanna! At Disney World, you can ship your droid home for an additional fee. Just bring your receipt and the droid to any merchandise location (including Droid Depot), but they do not offer shipment back to the hotel. Hope this helps!
Wait so she says that the personality chip is for the droid to interact with other droids and the land but ...you cant use him in the park because the first order will take it? so all interaction have to be inside the box? wheres the fun in that?
idk they just don't want to have a bunch of droids rolling on the ground in a more busy area of the park that's all
The personality chip will change how he interacts all the time, not just in the parks! However, Disney has a "no roaming" policy that means droids must stay boxed up while in the park!
@@undercovertourist you could buy the backpack they sell for the droid and have it interact that way
Strictly a liability issue. They don't want the "trip & fall " lawsuits.
@@undercovertourist I cant get my droid to.do anything or interact. Aren't there commands that are supposed to work with the droid?
As an Experience, it's nice. However, there are better droid replicas out there, and much cheaper as well!
Uh, give some examples?
How many do you get to customize and hand build? You also pay for the experience
If you can point out any I'd love to have my own R6 unit. I can't afford a trip to Disney Land
Building the droids are fun. I built mine and I call it cyborg because it sounds bad to the bone. I am going to take it were ever I go
I want to go to Disney world
Can they interact with you? Do they follow you around or anything?
Yes
BB 8 or r2 d2
Do you have this also in paris
No
This is a way better item to get at Star Wars land because a lightsaber costs 250$ which is crazy but the droid is only 100$ so get the droid
She’s just kinda starring at him from the background
How much do they charge?
*$100*
R series
How much are those?
Hi there! Right now, building a droid costs $99.99 plus tax. Hope this helps!
What sucks is that the droids are so expensive. $99 per droid. Can't complain tho since they're cheaper than the lightsaber which is $200
it seemed like a very awkward experience
I have a name for that droid FBD 2
Some people say that the droid is better than the lightsaber, but you can barely customize the droid, there’s like 4-6 color options to pick from and none of them look particularly nice together if you mix them, much too vibrant for that. Like, say you wanted to make a white bb droid with like, pink accents. You can’t really do that. The R series do have more customization, but the point still stands. The colors they offer clash too much with each other and there’s only so many combos you can make that will look decent. They’re also super small imo. Edit: I totally forgot about the sub par remote they give you. Really Disney? Come on.
Me who's too poor and just wants a astromech no matter the flaws : ಥ⌣ಥ
See I just build my droid and I love it so much it’s also half the cost of a light saber and can do more than the lightsaber with interaction,can move back and forth,side to side, it can also turn its head, and is just very cool and fun! While a lightsaber is just is just well you know :)
you can buy a better 3rd party lightsaber for half the cost of the one you get in the parks anyway lol
@@chaosbringer9007 Very true, but the lightsaber workshop is also sold as an experience as if you are a padawan creating your first saber. I still agree an aftermarket one is better.
I’m working on making something like that at home cause Im British so I can’t go
How much is this? I got the 200 dollar light saber and I totally want this!
Each droid unit costs $99.99, plus tax. Check out this article for more details about the experience: www.undercovertourist.com/blog/droid-depot-galaxys-edge-disney-world/
110$ bucks with all tax
NAME HIM BLUEBERRY
CUTE!
I'll call is R3-P7
u can only call it an R3 unit it you built it into the r3 unit
If I got a droid I would name it after A member of the 501st
R50 D1
My sister has built this back at Disneyland
If it is called the Droid Depot then why do they only have astromech droids? I don’t want an astromech I WANT A GONK DROID HAHHAHAHH
If you leave the park does it still make sounds? Do you have to power it off?
Alejandra Bustamante it will still make sounds, just not talk to other droids, they know when they are in black spire outpost and when they are at home :)
This is at Disney world
Imagine if it talks and walk
Built a BB unit at WDW Galaxy's Edge a week ago. What a piece of junk. If the unit hits a bump the head falls off and once the unit sits idle for a few minutes it won't work. Had to open it up nd tun it off then on to work. If I was still in the park I would return it for a refund.
Sad I think your droid is. Doesn’t like is owner he does...
U didn’t build it right then no droid should have those probs if everything was built right
1st off that's what you get for buying the BB unit its head is only held on by magnets 2nd The droid goes into sleep mode When not being active unless If you turn off the controller then it doesn't go to sleep and I'll make random noises and move I don't know what you expected from a ball and a magnet
The helpers should be jawas.
Mind=blown 😂
how much is it
Hi! Currently, building a droid costs $99.99 plus tax. Hope this helps!
That's a lot but worth it do you need to replace the moter
It actually runs on batteries - so easy to replace! :)
How long does it work for? Debating on if it’s worth it😭
It takes batteries so however long you want it to
Pretty damn long, to say the least By the way, this is just from reviews. I don't actually have one Lmao
if i were doing this i hope I could buy t and bring my creation home I ll make a r2 unit for the house and tell disney if anybody go's i have r2-d2 from think away
Wtf no gonk:(
So lonely
literally when i built my droid its so easy to do
Do they seriously hear you, because the lady was talking to the droid.
Considering the technology for toys to understand us has been around since long before Disney even bought star wars I would guess yes
It’s kinda bs they let u build a droid then basically tell u not to play with it
There’s a test area across the way from the depot where you can play and interact with other droids. It’s a liability to have these things roaming the park. People can trip and fall and sue or someone could accidentally (or if spiteful) purposefully kick it and break your new companion. It’s better this way. Plus it still interacts while in the box/bag! It makes noises and turns it’s head interacting with you and other droids passing by!
👍🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺👍
I was the strongest Galaxy edge I wouldn't mind blowing myself a robot
RD d2
Go rams

Do you need reservation
Read more about how to building a droid in Galaxy's Edge (including making reservations) on our blog: www.undercovertourist.com/blog/droid-depot-galaxys-edge-disney-world/
You can, but don’t need to. It’s quicker if you do, but there is a high chance that you will still make one if you don’t have a reservation. However for making a custom lightsaber at Savi’s workshop, a reservation is highly recommended. Have fun and hope this helps! I made mine recently and I think that it is fully worth it. I recommend the R2 units though. Thank you!
Follow up I went it Disney world and didn't need one it's like 90 minute wait
@@rachanataparia How long did it take you to make one because I got a reservation at 835am and a fastpass for tower of terror from 850-950 am
Tyler McGough 15-20 mins
"that goes bottom to top" - "ok" - then goes top to bottom immediately...TWICE. smh
EW! the sound of stripping screws :/
It’s mildly aggravating when she calls is an R2 droid instead of an Astro droid. She obviously hasn’t gone in depth with the movies because she doesn’t call the lil dude an Astro droid
All little droids are Astro. BB, R2 are the models
