A droid is a robot. It is also a person who is not human. A person who is not human is called an alien. A droid and an alien are both robots, but they are not the same kind of robot. An alien is a non-humanoid robot that was made by humans. A droid is a humanoid robot that was made by aliens. The difference between a droid and an alien is that one has been created by humans, while the other has been created by aliens.
The word “droid” refers to both robots and aliens because they are both machines, but there are still many differences between them, such as their physical appearance or where they come from (Earth or outer space). The word “alien” does not refer to either one because it refers only to things from other planets or galaxies; it does not include robots at all since those are artificial life forms created by humans on Earth instead of being brought here from somewhere else entirely like some people might think they would be (if they were real).
The Droid Depot is one of the most highly anticipated areas on Galaxy’s Edge. It may seem like just another store, but inside, you’ll find droids from all over the galaxy that you can build yourself. And with every droid comes a unique story, the tale of how it came to be here and how its journey led it to meet your family and friends. But what is it really like to build your own droid? We’re going to break down everything you need to know about creating an experience of your very own: what do they cost? Where are they located within the land? What kinds of droids are available “on-stage” so we can see them?”
A Droid At Galaxy’s Edge
When you visit Droid Depot at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, you’re greeted by a droid that brings you over to the droid building station. There, you can choose from a variety of droids and customize them to your liking using a variety of options.
There are different types of droids available for customization including B1 battle droids, B2 super battle droids, B3 astromechs (like R2-D2), or other custom pieces like lightsabers or blasters. You can also choose whether or not your droid is an antagonist (the bad guys) or protagonist (the good guys).
The experience of building your own droid starts in the Droid Depot, a large building located at the heart of Galaxy’s Edge. It’s here that you’ll be able to select parts for your own creation, as well as purchase existing droids that have already been built by other guests.
The experience of building your own droid starts in the Droid Depot.
The Droid Depot is divided into two sections: one where you can build your own custom droid, and another where existing droids are displayed on pedestals and available for purchase.
The building is a large circular structure with an open atrium in the center. This space serves as a sort of lobby, where you can walk around and look at all the different kinds of droids on display. The outer edge of the room is lined with several pedestals that hold specific models for sale; this area is separated from the rest by glass doors.
Once you’ve selected your chosen droid, you’ll head over to one of the assembly stations.
Once you’ve selected your chosen droid, you’ll head over to one of the assembly stations. At each station, a Cast Member will guide you through the process of building your Droid and answer any questions that come up along the way. While the process is fairly straightforward, there are several things that can affect how much it costs:
- The type of droid you choose will impact pricing. If you choose a Star Wars-themed Droid like BB8 or R2D2, then expect to pay more than if you were to build an Earth-based model such as Iron Man or Mickey Mouse.* You can also add on additional features if desired (such as sound chips). This would increase costs as well.
Your droid will come with a remote control and instructions for connecting it.
The remote control is a key part of the experience. You’ll be able to control your droid with it, which means you can give it commands and watch as it follows them. But the app is also built into the droid itself, so if you have an iPhone or Android device, there’s an app to pair with your droid as well. This lets you connect to your droid from anywhere, even if you don’t have access to Wi-Fi or cellular service.
After the assembly is finished, your droid will be able to interact with elements around Galaxy’s Edge.
Once your droid is built and you’re ready to explore the park, the first thing it will be able to do is to interact with elements around Galaxy’s Edge. This means your droid will have interactions with other droids in the park, and they can also help guide you through Galaxy’s Edge using their built-in map or by giving you information about nearby attractions or food options. Your droid will also be able to interact with the environment through the sensors that allow it to see things such as when there is a storm approaching or if someone has spilled something on the ground. If you want your droid to be able to talk back then there are training sessions available for an additional charge where you can learn how to communicate with your own personal BB-8.
If all this sounds like something that might interest you then we encourage visiting our website or call our office today. We offer free consultations so there’s no need for hesitation, just come on down tomorrow morning and let us show off what we’ve been working on lately: an interactive version of “The Last Jedi” We think fans are going love this new spin on movie magic but if they don’t trust us yet then maybe they should start small instead?
Is it worth it to build a droid at the galaxy’s edge?
Galaxy’s Edge is one of the most anticipated theme parks in America, and it’s no question that you will want to build a droid at Galaxy’s Edge. In fact, there are several reasons why this experience should be on your bucket list:
- It’s interactive. You can choose what kind of droid you want to build, from R2-D2 to BB-8 or even something more unique like WALL-E or EVE.
- It’s fun. Building your own droid can be challenging and rewarding at the same time because there are so many different components available for customization (like arms and legs) so each droid will be different depending on how they’re put together by their builders.
- You get bragging rights as well as some really cool swag when it comes right down to it.”
Location
- Location: Black Spire Outpost. Galaxy’s Edge is located in the Black Spire Outpost on Batuu, which is part of Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida and Disneyland in California. This new land opened on May 31st, 2019.
- Price: The price for entry includes a ticket to either park as well as food and drink (including alcoholic beverages). The cost for Galaxy’s Edge has not been revealed yet but as it is a new land there will be an additional fee to access it beyond the admission price already paid.
What kind of droids can you build at the Droid Depot?
The Droid Depot is the place to go if you want to build a droid at Galaxy’s Edge. Here, you can choose from four different types of droids: Astromech, Protocol, Security, and Utility droids. Each droid has a unique personality and function.
You’ll have to make sure that your custom droid fits within the guidelines set by Disney Parks as far as size goes, they have to be less than 16 inches tall and weigh less than 15 pounds (6.8kg). Also, note that each of these droids costs $200 plus tax; if you’ve got little ones in tow or are staying on property at one of Disney’s hotels, then this will come off as an added expense for them (but hey, you’re worth it). If not staying at a hotel on the property or planning on multiple days at Galaxy’s Edge in order to build multiple droids per visit (and by all means…go for it), consider using Points Guy’s tips for saving money while visiting Disneyland Resort California Adventure Park in Anaheim.
Types of droids
There are different kinds of droids you can build. Some cost more than others, and some require more pieces to make. But you’re in luck, you don’t have to spend an arm or a leg to get started on your own droid adventure. The base price for the cheapest droid is $19.95 and includes 18 pieces that allow you to create a simple R2-D2-esque robot. If this doesn’t sound like what you’re looking for, there are other options: one at $29.95 with 32 pieces will get you closer to making a BB-8; one at $39.95 with 40 pieces lets you try your hand at building an astromech droid (think R2-A5); and finally, the deluxe kit costs $49.95 but offers 60 pieces so that aspiring engineers can build their own personal assistant-style robots like Chirrut Imwe’s K-2SO (or even Jabba The Hutt’s pet Salacious Crumb).
How long does it take to Build A Droid At Galaxy’s Edge?
How long it takes to build a droid depends on the size of the droid. The smaller droids can be built in under five minutes, while larger ones take up to an hour. The bigger droids are also more expensive at $99 versus $69 for smaller models.
You’ll want to plan ahead of time and know how long you’re willing to wait before ordering your droid—or else you could end up missing out on getting one at all.
Cost to Build A Droid At Galaxy’s Edge
The cost of building a droid that is actually being used in the land (which costs upwards of $100k), and then there’s also all of this other stuff… like programming and assembly and remote control functions that are not being used by guests but are still part of an attraction at Disney World ($100k+).
It seems like they should have clearly separated these two things when reporting their costs, especially since they’re asking guests to help pay for this stuff through admission prices and merchandise purchases, but unfortunately, they haven’t done so yet. And so instead we get all sorts of conflicting information about what exactly goes into building something like BB-8 or R2D2 (and therefore how much it should cost). So let’s try our best anyway.
While it may seem like a lot of money to spend on just one droid, the experience of building your own Star Wars character is worth it. It’s fun and exciting to create your own droid and see it come alive in the Star Wars universe. Plus, with all the different types of droids, you can choose from, there’s something for everyone. If you’re planning a trip to Galaxy’s Edge sometime soon or already have tickets booked for later this year, then we highly recommend checking out the Droid Depot first before heading over there so that when you arrive everything will run smoothly (and quickly).
