Merchandise is obviously going to be a huge component of Star Wars Galaxy's Edge, and Disney has today released details on some of what you can buy and where.

Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities – For those in the know, Dok-Ondar is the Ithorian you seek for selling and buying rare and uniquely-valued items from across the galaxy and spanning all eras. You will find Dok at his desk, checking his inventory, taking calls, and barking orders at his assistants

Savi’s Workshop – Handbuilt Lightsabers – Guests come to the workshop to meet with the Gatherers – a secretive group of people who have dedicated their lives to restoring balance in the galaxy by passing on their knowledge of Jedi lore and the Force. The workshop Master guides guests to customize and build their own unique lightsabers, and instructs them on the ways of the Jedi.

At the heart of every saber is a kyber crystal, and during a guided tour, each guest will have four options to choose from: Peace Justice (modeled after Jedi from the Republic era); Power Control (a nod to the Sith); Elemental Nature (harnessing air, earth, fire, and water); and Defense (shrouded in mystery).

Droid Depot – Visitors to Mubo’s workshop can choose parts and construct their own individual astromech droids to accompany them on their journey, and then take them home with them.

The Droid Depot is located in the market, inviting patrons to pick parts and pieces off a conveyor belt, then build and customize their astromech droids (R-series or BB-series); the droids are capable of interacting with elements in the land, responding to guests’ behaviors. Additional programming chips and accessories can be added to the droids to further customize their abilities. The Droid Depot will also offer guests pre-built droids, including a C-3PO who has quite a bit to say (especially if you “accidentally” take off his head and put it on backwards!) and a Rex who will happily play whatever music you have on your smartphone through an intergalactic Bluetooth connection.

First Order Cargo – A spaceport hangar bay serves as the temporary base and landing spot for the First Order. First Order officers have brought in crates of gear, uniforms and other supplies to win the hearts and minds of locals and visitors to Black Spire Outpost.

Resistance Supply – Resistance members and local sympathizers oversee a makeshift stall that supplies Resistance uniforms, pins, badges, hats, helmets, jackets, maps, tools, training supplies, food rations and other items.

There are also several market stalls which sell a variety of merchandise such as:

  • Toydarian Toymaker (toys)
  • Creature Stall (interesting critters that you can take home with you)
  • Black Spire Outfitters (clothing)
  • The Jewels of Bith (accessories and other trinkets to treasure)

I hear ya. Mainly, I was talking about using that big rock wall to hide a big blue box (looking at you, Guardians). I'm not sure where they could put an entire coaster without tearing out part of the massive rockwork. But, they could create an entrance that is interesting with movement and design. Maybe it could give a glimpse of the coaster beyond (if that would not break the "immersion" of being in Baatu). Personally, I'm ok with seeing a coaster...if done right. With the rain in FL, there is something to be said for coasters being inside.

I don't think any new attraction should be out of sight/indoors. The land desperately needs kinetic energy outside of the ROTR queue waterfall and a few droids that shake their heads.

A Landspeeder coaster placed out of sight behind the buildings could work. It could be a chase theme- tight turns, moderate hills, launches and a stop or 2 for a scene and maybe a corkscrew or other thrill, all placed inside an area of varying obstacles such as trees, rocks, caves or water, etc. While I do admire and appreciate the amazing rock work and theming that went into Star Wars Land, it doesn't offer us much more than a very pleasant stroll between Muppets and Slinky.

If the Landspeeder coaster's visible outdoor section were elevated and the track masked by the building facades it could look like they are traveling over the rocks and buildings...It would actually add something kinetic to the incredibly dead space... which would look great... The land should be a bustling hive of illainy.... so there should be spaceships and land speeders and droids etc.... not a vacant, burned out half abandoned outpost... Make it fun and more vibrant....

Most landspeeders are ground based but it would be funny to see them glide over the roofs 😅

I would think this is because it's suposed to feel authentic and real. Obviously it is a fictional planet with fantasy characters, but it could be real. A coaster, especially one with an outside part that goes through Galaxies Edge, would break the illusion immediately. Then again so do tourists with Mickey Mouse ears on their head but you know what I mean, right? ;)

I think they could really spice things up at Ronto Roasters with a lightsaber injury line of food items.

You can fix this by putting the track on top of buildings and then hiding the track (but not the vehicles) with a portion of the building roof.

I could expand. And I have… ad nauseum for the last couple years so I’ll spare everyone and the mods this once. Haha

I really don’t see much authenticity or hyper reality in Tiana. I know they did research trips but the ride itself doesn’t seem very connected reality. You spend the ride looking for critter musicians and get shrunk down to the size of frogs. Honestly, the whole ride seems to be focused on fun. It’s all up beat music on your way to a party.

mickEbluJun 22, 2024

I dunno. I see some of the same failures in TBA that I see in GE. A prioritization and staunch commitment to authenticity or in GE’s case hyper reality/ “immersion” at the expense of fun and end user experience.

IncomudroJun 22, 2024

I totally get why Disney did what they did, avoiding coasters in GE because they wanted everything to appear "real." And I support that - though I wish they gave us what they promised in terms of characters and other kinetics. Having said that, if anything can be a coaster and still work within the land - a well done Speeder coaster (like Hagrid's) is something I would support.

I’d throw the concept of being 100% in-universe out in less than a second if it meant we could get a ride as good as Hagrid’s in GE.

If it were a new version of a spinner....that perhaps was more of a thrill spinner.....where the arms extended quite high.... THatmight be a good thing... and a flat ride for the toddlers...Yoda's Dagobah Swamp Buggies....lol
