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

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!

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

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!

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.

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!

This is such great advice! Thank you for sharing!

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 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.

This video was super helpful thanks

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

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.

Great video! Thank you!

Very pleasant and informative video.

appreciate the insight!

Love this review! I wanted to do this with my 3 daughters and now maybe I’ll save up money to just do the light sabers instead

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

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

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

Nice droids am saving up to spend a lot of money at Disney my goal is big it's 1000 % and I am at 300 I can't wait to go for my first time

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.

Ha! I already know that I'd be vastly more excited that your son, ha! 🙂 Thank you for sharing!

I built mine back in January. Is it worth it…. I think so. Also bought the backpack. However my experience building it was horrible. The cast member seemed to careless what I was doing. They did help finish it with the small bits. My activation ceremony was a joke. The put in the box to activate it, told me “there you go”. Pretty disappointed with the whole process and experience

Awsome.

Thanks for the opinion

i can agree that would be pricey so yeah one droid and one backpack if we ever get a chance to do that and build a lightsaber it be pretty costly

I own 6 droids in total. They're awesome. Definitely do this if you'rte at Hollywood Studios.

it seems kind of pricey for myself, but after 3 weeks, do you feel it was still worth it? And how is the droid holding up after this 3 weeks

and you get a free personality chip along with the backpack if you choose to get the deluxe version which is 175

Great video! Do you know if they can deliver the droid to your Disney hotel? Thanks!

As fun as it looks, I would say over a hundred and close to two hundred dollars is not worth it. But I’m glad to see people enjoy themselves creating the astromech companions none the less

One day you can be a Jedi master and make your own Jedi

as a huge kotor fan, I wish you could build a t3

It is so worth it. If i could I'd get 1 of every type of droid

Question are the prices in American or what are they in?

Wouldn't having a park pass mean that you can leave the park and drop the droid off at the car and come back?

The bb unit looks like the Hasbro bb8s

I'm going to Disney next summer

Its enjoyable for the children but i wouldnt do it more than once. Building the light saber on the other hand was much more immersive and i would do that again no question.

I’m going there

I didn't watch this video. But I will comment.

Looks fun but I don't know anyone who could afford these, let alone park admission.

They should make BB-1 droid

Bb-8 I would like the color to be orange or purple and for R2 I would like the color to be orange or black for I can take it home in a backpack okay.

You actually leave it there till you're done walking around and shopping and pick it back up

You dont need a reservation you can just wait in line

I do NOT like that new bag! Unless this is a "cheaper" option to the old grey ones that have the zip up tops

Tell me that ain a little cute 1:47

It's star wars tales from the galaxy's edge

BB series all the way.

i need get 5000 pln to get almost 1000 usd to do everything what i want welp 8 need start save my money😅

I spent $80 for a droid and bag

No, its not

Are you still wearing masks?

Great video

What a hundred to Fifty Hundred Sixty Doller NO way 😱 Not going to Pay That Much
