I wish Disney would think things completely out more when they offer experiences like this. You’re not allowed to use your droid in the land for safety reasons, they could’ve easily fixed this problem by having a gated play area that you could play with your droid in.
Edit: looks like Disneyland realized their mistake and now have a little “play area”
Alex Monreal and having hundreds of kids step on and crush your $100 brand new droid because the play area would always be crowded
Martin Bruich you wouldn’t be allowed to actually go in you just place it in, the only problem I see with this is that the bb unit head can fall off. A cast member would obviously be there to help out but 🤷♂️ play at your own risk I guess.
Alex Monreal
Unfortunately Disney is straying father and farther from Walt’s original ideas when making his company and His parks
The could at least have a closed in area on every workstation, where you could control the Droid in.
How about just wait until you are out of the park?
"it's a droid it has a mind of its own" *has remote control in hands.
patio87 underrated comment
It beeps, boops and "communicates" on it's own is what they mean.
If you get two droids they talk to each other when you get them home.
LordNul1 r/wooooooosh
@@chow4254 using r/wooooosh in a context where it is not remotely applicable? The degredation of the TH-cam comments section knows no bounds. I understand the attempt at humor, I just don't find it funny (and Poe's Law is quite prevalent in reddit usees like yourself).
So I cant build a HK Assassin Droid?
Not yet. They haven't started on old republic yet, so for now it's just astromechs by the look of it.
LordNul1 not even a Gonkdroid?
@@dunkboyxd6618 nope but in all fairness Gonk Droids in the lore only have one look and are essentially just walking mobile chargers... The latter of which would kind of defeat the purpose in the case of these interactive custom toys by virtue of (at minimum) doubling the battery expenditure. There might be actual normal Gonk Droid toys somewhere at the land though.
Which 1 is the little black 1 that goes around on the death star 😆
@@tjflamezz4083 mouse droid
Build-a-bear starwars edition
ARCULOUS You have made my day.......
That is exactly right
ARCULOUS BB bear u mean? Lol
ARCULOUS You mean “Build-a-bear Disney Edition”
ARCULOUS more like IKEA because both the basket and the service desk have those step-by-step visual assembly instructions.
I wonder who was the first person to crush a droid under their feet because it was so crowded?
You can't have it out in the land for now, but you can get a special backpack to hold it in as you walk around. Its head sticks out the top so you can still see and hear all the reactions it makes.
You can't drive them around the park for that exact reason lol. So they sell a little backpack that you can put your droid in.
@@mulder19x95 do you know what the cost for these things are
@@valdr2286 The droid or the backpack? The droid is 100 bucks. I'm not sure on the backpack but if they follow standard Imperial (Disney) protocol then odds are it's probably going to be 30 bucks for the backpack. I know the little personality chip is 12.99.
@@mulder19x95 meant the droid but thank you. By any chance do you know the price for the holocrons?
0/100 no gonk droid
That would be so cool!
You just made this 100% crappier Lol
Make an R unit then drop a cardboard box on it's head.
DRBTM studio and no messenger Death Star droids! Correction--it’s the MSE-6 repair droid. The darn thing is so small I thought it was a messenger bot or something. I was like 9 in the movies so....
DRBTM studio facts
Now I want to see a Droid owner with a droid backpack wander around and see what his droid does?
AbbieJolie C All the backpacks were completely sold out as of Monday when I was there. We weren’t able to get one.
Give me an R unit anyday over a BB unit
Spintechfilms man if it was the right size
Why not both?
@@cplgsleight1661 because it would cost 200$
@@viperbreathgaming8992 Well, what's worth it more? Two droids for $200 or One Lightsaber for the same price hahaha.
even if it is a runt r2 unit
This poor woman having to introduce every reporter to how it works
Ok.... i thought 100 for one was a lot... but I might splurge and build a droid those are way cute !!
Doradrummer just went opening day and the BB droid are not worth $100+ they very difficult to operate, the head doesn’t stay on top when it rolls, the head comes off easily if it bumps into something and the beeping/“talking” it does is very low volume.
My group bought 3 amongst us and you could see them really try hard to stay excited after seeing how hard it is to navigate them.
It’s ultimately a REALLY overpriced Build a Bear for adults because I would not recommend it for a small child. They’ll loose interest SO FAST when they see that it’s not easy to control, I know this because I saw a bunch of adults making this realization in their eyes.
Danny Cervantes is that the same for the R units I figured this may be easier since they have 3 legs
Supra_Mickey you know, I didn’t see one person with an R unit rolling around. Everyone wants a BB unit. I saw a couple of R units but they were in their carrying backpack that sold separately
@@dannycervantes2596 can you take them home?
Yes you can!
I find it interesting this is so similar to another video of this experience I watched (LA Times?). Did those cast members during the media preview day have to do this spiel a dozen times for the camera? That's dedication!
Jacob Lyman well they’re DISNEY cast members, literally all of them are trained to do it.
People are gonna be falling over them like crazy...
TheFireworkShopUK you’re not allowed to take your droid out for more than a quick picture in Galaxy’s Edge itself, the reactions in the land have to be from either in your arms or in one of the droid-backpacks.
Quinn Roseboom 😲✌🏻️👌🏻
For those of you who are wondering the cost is 99.99 US dollars
Oh....
113 if you want a personality chip
Pretty sure separately sold
Also seriously 100 bucks isn't that bad seeing that they sell lightsabers for 200
@Frizzurd it changes the sound of the droid's beeping and I believe it interacts with stuff differently. Like I've heard droid's are supposed to be able to interact with other droid's and it acts differently depending where you are (a Droid with a resistance chip will act more frightened in a first order area and what not.) I haven't gone yet so I'm going off what vloggers have been told in their videos.
Oh I'm a dummy. I somehow missed "outside the park." Honestly, I have no idea. No one has really posted what they do afterwards. I think outside the park it's just an rc Droid that occasionally beeps. It isn't as advanced as the r2d2 sphero that reacts to the movies.
Sphero: Am I a joke to you?
Sphero is great but they aren't making the droids anymore. When TLJ released their sales dropped astronomically so they announced last year that they will no longer be making the Star Wars line. Also in Disney's defense these droids are a lot bigger and cheaper than the release date price of sphero. I own the R2-Q5 sphero and when he released he was 200 bucks. These droids are 100 and while they lack the amount of accuracy and technicality of the sphero droids they are a lot bigger and still super fun. R2-Q5 is wonderful but he isn't worth 200 (I paid 50 for him closeout price). These droids I definitely have no problem paying 100 bucks for.
Organic Lasagna it's probably their tech.
@@mulder19x95 i figured so, thanks for the essay in reply to my little joke.
I want to build a HK-47
It would go ballistic with so many meatbags roaming around
Objection: Only Revan could build me, meatbag
THAT WOULD BE AWSOME
Desperate plea: Get me off this conveyor meatbag, I’ve been here for two years and I’m quite dizzy.
Can it vacuum my room?
I REALLY hope this idea spreads or they add it to Disney store because I SO want to do this.
Meh why can’t I build a gonk droid
I was there on Monday. Had my heart set on the black and gray BB unit. Completely gone!
I had to settle for the girly white and purple one.
They were also completely sold out of both styles of backpacks.
They were also out of a lot of the colors for the insides. I actually had to make them go in the back and check for more. So that I could get something other than red.
I will say it was an absolutely fun experience. And I do like my BB. However my advice to those that are going don’t have your heart set on a specific color. Be willing to be flexible on what you get.
How works exactly? The battery is rechargeable? The cable is included? How long does the battery last?
Asking the real questions.
Ok so from what I saw in John Carlo's video, he said the controller takes 3 AAA batteries and the Droid takes 6 AA batteries. Which is crazy because why not just make it rechargable? I'd use it more often that way, as is I'll just leave it to the side until Halloween or something.
loydzero you could always buy rechargeable batteries/battery packs XD
Does it have a off switch I wanna get 1 on my vacation to disney but I can't have it beeping in my bag on the plane
I really they release more new Droids in the future
I just built one! Totally worth the money and so much fun, they are also remote control and fully functional
¿Can I take the droid with me to home?
@@christophersoriano6020 yes. If you are flying you will have to let the security officer check it out but I would suggest bringing it as a carry on so it doesn’t get damaged.
@@0dumbduckie053 thank you so much.
@@christophersoriano6020 no problem at all
Glad they got the person that looked the least enthused to show us.
"entushed"
It's called being professional and in-character. Disney Land proper doesn't have that restriction for it's vendors unless they're in costume.
@@jayknowles2146 yeah I saw that after I posted it ha. Enthused
So ... while you are in SW:GE it interacts with other droids and the area you in and when you leave/go home it has nothing to interact with and just sits there?
droid : what is my purpose?
@@curranannetts5454 You just sit there
You pass butter.
@@125rman It took a few days for someone to answer correctly
@@125rman oh my god
I was kinda hoping for different varieties of droids like maybe adding like a BD-1 type droid from Jedi Fallen Order, a mouse droid from the Death Star, that droid that's kinda like a wheel from The Rise of Skywalker, etc. but if I do make a droid I guess I'll just go with the R2 unit even though I really wanted a droid similar to BD-1
BD-1 would be horrifically hard to mass produce
Better than the 200$ lightsaber
Man: i want a BB unit
Me, thinking of the FNAF BB: *Screaming*
It's going to be so crowded you won't be able to actually use your Droid :( I really love the idea though.
You can't have it out in the land for now, but you can get a special backpack to hold it in as you walk around. Its head sticks out the top so you can still see and hear all the reactions it makes.
@@mastahfrederique1147 How much extra is the backpack?
Mastah Frederique Lol you totally copy and pasted this onto another comment.
Wayne A. Pollock Backpack is $50, I think? You can also carry it in the box it comes with, which has holes for the droid to look through.
Actually they tell you you're not allowed to use your Droid in Disneyland you can only carry it around
I’m going to do this build for my Disney vlog for sure!!! Thanks for the video info😊👌🏼
Cool! I'll build my own droid too!
Damn was going to build a mouse droid
What steps were they skipping by switching you out to the premade Droid? What didn't they want shown on camera?
It just makes sounds and spins when you’re activating it takes a while so they’re probably saving time
They also have you screw in a few bolts with the screwdriver hanging next to us in the video.
oh ya that to, it was so much fun building one and having it around the land it’s a hundred bucks which is way to expensive for me but it was worth it 😂
Lol... wtf? This person thinks there's some kind of conspiracy? 😵💫
Take my money!
I bet the bb unit is really popular, i love a good r2 or r4 but i think kids really like bb’s because of how they move
I love r2 and r4 in style but for movement bb are way better since they have such a unique way of moving
Yes the fact that they could build impossible engineering of a fantasy film on real life is incredible, not just like a container with legs that is the r unit
That's cool and all, but can you build a battledroid?
I’m going to Disney and I can’t wait to make a droid
Ok now this might actually get me to go
I Just need my own BB!!!! Can't wait to be there building by myself...
Built a BB today at Galaxy’s Edge and it keeps shutting off. I have to open it up, switch it off and back on for the remote to work. Anyone having the same problem?
Software on the first day always has issues everywhere :/
First was the banshee, now this! Cool!
Ok, now I want one!
Dan o channels droid on the table!
YES
For the low low price of $100 you can build an action figure you could just buy for $10 anywhere else.
“BUT THE THEMING!”
What a time to be alive
Oh look is a Dis-Drone
That’s more than the Remote Control Banshees in Pandora except they do nothing.
And the lightsabers aren’t even up to the quality of the ones back from 2010-2012 that have the impact feedback and those cost $30 at the time. I’m used to Disney prices, these are far in excess of usual Disney prices.
If you wanna pay more for a lower quality product you aren’t a “fan” you’re a mark
@@TheRealAmericanMan Are you even a star wars fan? Because I'm a casual fan and I think they look awesome. Maybe not spend 200 dollars at the drop of a hat awesome but awesome enough that I'd want one. Plus its not just the theming that makes it cool. Its the experience and the memories made from having it. A little kid could get enjoyment out of playing with it and an adult could get enjoyment out of collecting something. Sounds to me like you're just complaining because of the price.
Nikolas Perez I’m complaining because it’s basically the same items that they sell in Pandora but with jacked up prices. $75 for a drink in a wavy glass?
$200 for a half decent lightsaber that’s nowhere near the quality of the $100 Black Series sabers? If you’re willing to pay extra to “experience” something in a park you already paid to enter that’s on you but exploitative prices should be called out. I love Disney but these prices are the most insane I’ve seen in any of their parks. This is basically the return of E-Ticket experiences. Except the ticket is $200 a piece and you get some plastic guff.
Galaxy’s Edge is essentially just a themed store and as a result other than it’s impeccable theming it is probably the worst land addition in terms of added value in any Disney Park’s history.
Like think about it, Pandora added two rides including one brand new and unparalleled experience, a whole land to explore freely. One of the most complex builds in any park’s history with the floating islands. Several eateries with themed foods for fairly low (for Disney) prices. And exclusive innovative themed merch. And the only items in Galaxy’s Edge that are innovative and different thing things you’d find at a Wal-Mart are the Salacious Crumb shoulder buddie.... BUT THOSE ARE JUST A RE-TREAD OF THE BANSHEE MADE FOR PANDORA.
There’s plenty to criticize with Galaxy’s Edge.
It was fun to experience, I’m happy I saw it. But I can safely say I wouldn’t return to it with a crowd. The Falcon ride isn’t worth an 8 hour wait or whatever they’re projecting.
Id be embarrassed to be there tbh, but I really want a droid lol
Do you get to move it around in your house too
You get to keep it and it comes with a remote, so yeah I'd say you can.
@@lordnul1708 can it move
Am I the only one that gets the feeling this isn’t the first time this guy has played with balls?
I wish they had a section where you could actually solter curcuits together and then build on top of that. I think it would be really satisfying, and really add more to the experience. Sure it might be hazardous, but Disney could put in age restrictions and have you sign a contract for any bodily harm.
Does anyone know or have an idea how the droids interact to different areas of the park and with other droids? I’m guessing it’s some kind of rfid technology?
Gotta wait for Galaxy’s edge in Florida to open... and even then it’ll be a pain to get to go... but still can’t wait
Can we get confirmation that droids actually do interact with each other when you take them home? Not just coincidental shutdown sequences. I can’t get mine to interact with each other.
Yeah they just have thingies in the park that makes all droids near it beep at the same time
darkcap232 close but not quite. We’ve found that the reaction times vary from personality chip and by location
Definitely gonna have to watch my step around Galaxy's Edge. Don't want to be stepping on or bumping or inadvertently kicking someone's created droid...I'm kind of a klutz...
Oh you don't have to worry about stepping on them because you're not allowed to use them around Disneyland you have to hold them if you want them out
I love the droid but you missed the opportunity of calling him SB-129
Charlie Latino 😳 You are a genius…
What does that mean?
I know the astromech has smaller trays but it should have the big huge one Artoo used in RotJ, imagine how useful that would be! DJ R2
Does not talk to each other, they just makes sounds in galaxy edge.
Which one would be more practical, like easy to control, fun to play, won’t brake easily. Comment I want to see the war begin R2 vs BB
Kayden Batch just went opening day and the BB droid are not worth $100+ they very difficult to operate, the head doesn’t stay on top when it rolls, the head comes off easily if it bumps into something and the beeping/“talking” it does is very low volume.

Thanks
alright that's it, i need to go there somehow
This land is mpre pf a themed star wars mall then it is a theme park section reserved for star wars...
Adleast if u build that droud let them offer u simple build mode where u build like that with simple parts,
Or advanced mode for the adults with allot more parts to costumize
Man...
I was Looking Forward to Having a Moving KX-Series Security Droid
I rlly wanna go there
I would make a BB-unit
Is this at disney land or somewhere else. I really want one.
Disneyland’s hollywood studios
Is at Disneyland Galaxy's Edge in Disneyland
so glad I watched this!
Alright I'll take a B-10 captain.
Petition to build C-series Astromechs!
Amazing details and I’m doing the same thing like you did and name BB-9tLi.
I would build the red r5 with a bad motivator from episode four
He’s alive and went off into the desert to find his destiny
some of the best things to do at galaxy's egde
They should have the BD unit
They neeeeeed Bd units!!
do you keep the remote control?
Do you get to keep it?
Nathan saunders yeah
Yes the cost is 99.99 US dollars
Nope.
But you do if you pay $100 for it. We were just building it for the video.
Of course you get to keep it
I wish my family had enough money to go there 😔😔😔
I wish they had a Mouse Droid!
And fail. No thanks in the BB units and the weak magnetics and motors. I got no less than seven reports of them breaking before they got out of the park and unless always on they refuse to stand up. Plus the head easily pop off if bumped.
Go for the better made R-Series.
SignoftheMagi thanks for the heads up but Im probably to poor to even go here Lol
Nah fam
Yeah this is definitely better than the lightsaber workshop.
Those are the exact same way Ride Makerz had their stations set up.
Can I ask how much did it cost
99$
I'm gonna build a Orange and black R3 or R4/5 unit
Why does everyone want an r unit?
DroidWorks in real life at last. My 9 year soul sings.
CSLOUISE Your 9 year old soul is going to cry when he sees the price.
R2D2 hands down
¿por que fue a buscar las piezas si el droide ya estaba armado en la mesa?
I’m getting one just so my dogs know they better stop peeing in the house.
Do they run out of battery
You can’t have it out in the land yet, so I hear, but will we get to have them out in the future?
So basically he is the kind of same thing as bb-8 was at Target released a few years ago for about 60 bucks
Um, except customized by you with its own personality chip that interacts with the entire land...
Kinda, but you can customize these, you obviously also pay for the experience and these also interact with the land and other droids as you're walking around Galaxy's Edge. So I think $100 isn't that bad at considering a standard one at Target costs $60
If You Can Dream It you know, GE makes me sad. I was really looking forward to it, until I heard the prices of stuff, and that after 4 hours you get the walk of shame as you are escorted out by stormtroopers. For the price of admission and the cost of products, I would think you’d be allowed to stay as long as you want. It seems to me that Disney is using this to make up for two years of disappointing toy sales. Being a capitalistic society, you can pick and choose what you want and don’t want to spend your money on, and considering Disney’s asking $100 for a frankly cheap looking plastic droid, I think I’ll spend my money I’ve worked hard for elsewhere.
@@JMel2012 If you'd let people in as long as they wanted, they'd stay all day and other guests won't have a chance because it's a max capacity. Nobody forces you to go rightnow, wait a few months and you'll be able to stay as long as you want after they get rid of the reservations. Also, you don't pay admission just for GE, you pay for all of Disneyland, plenty of other stuff to enjoy.
spacebug30 maybe. I remember back when my movie theater said they’re increasing prices but only until the cost of putting in dream loungers was paid for. Three years later, the cost still hasn’t been paid off. Or how Apple said a long time ago that the most popular songs would be $1.29 instead of
$.99, and promised that most songs would remain $.99. Basically, why would they ever want to make less money than they could? By forcing people out after 4 hours, kids will not have had enough, and parents will have to pay that cost again, just to get another four hours.
But either way, being escorted out by stormtroopers is nothing less than a walk of shame.
Can you make a b1 battle droid?
Can I buy these online? I don't have the money to go to Disneyland. I want my droid to have that thing where u can put in personalitys even if it means that its either a regular r2 d2 or a bb8. I probs cant but if I can then plz comment a link
I’m not sure where I heard this but I heard you could play music from it? Is that true?
Nope only the 200$ dj rex droid
For those who said gonk droid. Its easy to build. Grab a pair of plastic legs, stick it under a garbage can...congrats you built a gonk droid
I wanna build an IG unit
Beckham!!! I was screaming Beckham!!!
90/100 on the droid
*it knows where you are*
I want to see the tailor shop.
I have a question. Do you have to book reservations inorder to go to the Droid Depot or Savi's Workshop? As in is it a requirement, or you won't get in? I ask, because, if I get a chance to go next year, I may want to return to these places again, before heading home, but I am not entirely sure if I will need to, or want to, and don't want to have to book for a day that I may choose not to do, nor do I want to be screwed, if I go there day one, get a droid and a Lightsaber, and then maybe later on stumble across something I may have wanted to get while I was there but did not have the time to go back that day, and planned to go the next day only to be unable to because I did not reserve for that day. I am just curious if I would screw myself over if I did not book them, and just went to them when I got to the park, or not. Do they take reservations over people that just walk in? Or would it just cause a long wait time, and if you are fine waiting, then you will be alright.
I want one so bad :’(
bruh
So I assume you buy this for like $150 and you get to keep these
I hope chopper is available to build with his weird lovable personality
No u buy for 99 and u keep them
what's next, making your own robes?
When 1 went with my friend Matt, he built a black and white "ska themed" R2 unit he named Ska2D2. 1 show his birth on my channel. The droid not Matt.
The batteries don’t last very long in the droids and remote controls and they need to take it back to the drawing board which is driving me crazy
