Is it Worth It? Building a Droid at Disney's Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge

Have you ever dreamed of having your very own droid like R2-D2 or BB-8? Now you can make that dream a reality at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge in Disney's Hollywood Studios. In this video, I'll take you through the process and cost of building a custom droid at Galaxy's Edge and answer the key question: Is it worth it? Join me on a journey to planet Batu and discover the cool droid options at Disney's Galaxy's Edge.

The bag is worth it, the droid bounces all around in the box they give you. The bag comes with thick foam to protect the droids and the foam is cut out to perfectly fit the droids inside. The foam holds them in tight and I took it on tower of terror and it’s really stuck in there. The bag also has a nice window so people can see it interact as you walk through the land.

You can also rent lockers near the entrance of the park for about $10-15, depending on size of locker, all day access.

I built an R2 droid last year. I had a reservation for right before closing. It was the best choice for time as I didn't have to carry the droid around with me the whole day.

This is great, thanks! I had no idea they offered backpacks to carry the droids. I was going to build both a droid and lightsaber when I was there for my 50th birthday. Galaxy's Edge wasn't open when we went in 2019. We loved it! I was so focused on trying to figure out dinning reservations that i completely forgot about making reservations for the builds. I bought a lightsaber, it was cheaper than the build. I also got a nicer case for it and a longer blade.

Since my friends didn't buy lightsabers, and i'm single with no kids, my lightsaber sits in its case in my closet. It got the most use at Christmas when my older brother, all of my nephews, my one neice-in-law and nephew's girlfriend were checking it out. 😂 Maybe I'll bring it to C2E2 one year. Or many I'll dress up and bring it.

When I built my droid at Disneyland last week, they offered what they called “droid daycare”. A free service where you can leave your droid and come back and get it before the park closes. I did that and it was great, no need to carry it around the park.

The kids loved this place. Sent me pictures. I respect all the Past achievements and the song writers animators and the great memories they gave me. Loved the goofy series how to. To move forward you have to know where you came from . But the kids loved the droids. God bless Disney.

I go to galaxy’s edge next January, and I do need tips since I’m only about 4 months away. We are starting to plan things right about now. This was a great inspiration for my younger siblings. They hated Star Wars but now they love it! Thank you so much!

Great video! The price of the bags really surprised me, really expensive for just a bag!
Making an appointment towards the end of the day considering you'll have to carry the droid around is a fantastic tip.

Man I can't wait to try my hand at Droid Building - I feel like I gotta try it at least once!

[chrisfan]

Thanks for sharing this in depth video about this experience! Definitely a must do the next time I visit the park. Liked and subbed.

[FigAdventures]

This is great! Kids were asking if it would be worth it and I came across this video! Thank you for the information! So informative and helpful! Sage travels, cheers!

I really like the idea about making a Droid even if it's really expensive and also even building in a lightsaber is also even more expensive that costs $200.

[JeannetteMcDonaldvoicetalent]

This is such great advice! Thank you for sharing!

Waiting to do this experience for when/if they bring in the BD droid

I actually don't recommend waiting to build at the end of the day. There's a space to drive your droid with other builders, and your droid will interact with other droids in the park.
The BB-series does not work as well as R-series. We have 2 BB-units and 2 R2-units at our house and droid battles with BBs suck. It rolls better on carpet but the slightest bump and the head comes off. I highly recommend an R2-series, or a Chopper. DOn't forget to pick up a bunch of emotion chips and accessories.

Disney really goes all out to bring the Chinese Sweat Shop Experience right to you! For the low low price of $120.

I did the droid combo where I got to build my R unit, a bag for it, and a personality chip for $190. Then looked up on Amazon for the same droid and it was 166 without the bag and chip. I have no regrets and the droid is awesome! I chase my cat with it and he chases the droid, it’s funny as hell! I don’t know, we go to disneyworld once a year, and out of all the expensive things there, it was well worth just buying the droid bundle instead of buying 4 Disney pins to put on a bag pack

I build my droid a few years ago. It still works great. And long you take the batteries out from your droid every time you use it. It will last for a long time.

great Video! Enjoyed it very much, bc from here to the Studios are too much Miles/Kilometers. THX for showing :)

I loved my C-series that I built last year!!!
