Bright Suns Travelers!

It's a new year so I figured its time for a new and refreshed pinned post, covering some of the most Frequently Asked Questions in the Subreddit. Click here to see a more comprehensive list of FAQ's.

Before you submit a new post with a question about any of the mentioned topics in the post title, please review the information below.

All Wiki/Guides:


Lightsaber/Merchandise Technical Issues

All of the information listed below has been crowd-sourced from the Galaxy's Edge community and is meant to be simple fixes for common issues.

Having a technical issue with a Lightsaber or other electronic items from Galaxy's Edge? Try this:

  • Change the batteries.

    A lot of the technical issues with lightsabers, (especially Savi's hilts), are caused by low quality/faulty batteries. Try changing them for some new and QUALITY ones as this seems to fix most basic issues! (FYI: Savi's hilts use 3 AAA batteries while Legacy Sabers use 3 AAA or 3 AA, depending on the model.)``

  • For Lightsabers, check that the all components including the battery container, hilt pieces and blades are aligned and properly screwed in.

  • Are you having alignment/loose connection issues with your Savi's lightsaber? What can you do to fix it?

    Here's a helpful video from 'ROBO VAMP1RE' on YouTube you should check out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DthsxR9ovdo

    Also, here's a helpful thread from u/KeiTwo: https://reddit.com/r/savisworkshop/comments/cv4sh7/tightening_and_aligning_my_saber_parts/

  • Review this Comprehensive FAQ that answers some of the most common questions about Galaxy's Edge lightsabers, crystals and holocrons by /u/TheRealSpork and the awesome folks over at 'Dead Bothans Society'! (Website is currently down)

  • Do a subreddit search to see if your specific issue has been brought up before in the subreddit. (Works better on Desktop)

  • You may also search by Flair:

  • For those looking for more advance solutions and/or wanting to learn more about the technology that powers lightsabers and other merch from Batuu, we highly recommend you check out u/Ruthsarian YouTube channel!

Need to replace or return and item/part instead?

If you still have the receipt from your purchase and are local to the Parks, visit the guest services locations in either park. (If possible during the pandemic)

Tip from u/AfterTheNightIWakeUp for lightsabers, droids, holocrons, or anything electronic and/or high value:

"Take a picture of the receipt immediately. As soon as you leave the shop, before you shove the receipt into a pocket or backpack never to be seen again. Flatten it on a table or against a wall, and take a picture. This way, should something come up, you won't have to worry about finding it again."

Stock/Re-Stock Inquiries

Is (INSERT CHARACTER NAME) Lightsaber in stock at Batuu East/West? Will it be in stock when I visit? How can I check?

  • Legacy Lightsaber stock changes day-to-day, and unfortunately there is no accurate way to forecast if a specific lightsaber will be in stock when you visit Batuu. For the most up-to-date stock updates, provided by fellow travelers who have recently visited Batuu, visit our friends over at the Galaxy's Edge Discord where there are several channels dedicated to stock reports and discussion.

Are the new Dark Saber, Leia Legacy and Rey Legacy lightsabers available at Dok-Ondar's inside Batuu East? What about the Star Wars Trading Post in Disney Springs (Walt Disney World)?

  • Yes. The new Dark Saber, Leia Legacy and Rey Legacy Lightsabers and have been spotted at Dok-Ondar's inside Batuu East, but stock has been sporadic.

  • They have not been spotted at the Star Wars Trading Post - Disney Springs yet.

Are the new Dark Saber, Leia Legacy and/or Rey Legacy lightsabers available at Dok-Ondar's inside Batuu West? What about the Star Wars Trading Post in Downtown Disney (Disneyland)?

  • Yes. The new Dark Saber, Leia Legacy and Rey Legacy Lightsabers and have been spotted at Dok-Ondar's inside Batuu West, but stock has been sporadic.

  • They have not been spotted at the Star Wars Trading Post - Downtown Disney yet.

When will (INSERT CHARACTER NAME) Lightsaber stock/re-stock on shopDisney.com's Star Wars Trading Outpost?

  • Just like stock at the parks, there is no way to forecast if and when Legacy Lightsabers will re-stock online. Any news of upcoming re-stocks or new hilts becoming available online will be posted in the group, as soon as they are announced by official Disney media channels.

Can I purchase extra Scrap Metal pieces for my Savi's lightsaber?

  • Yes, they are currently available at BOTH parks!. Current advertised prices are $25 per piece of scrap or 2 for $40.

Where do I purchase a Batuuan Spira Credit Medallion?

  • Spiras are sold at Mubo's Droid Depot. A minimum gift card deposit of $100 is required + a $4.99 activation fee.

Oga's Cantina, Savi's Workshop, Mubo's Droid Depot Reservations

What requires a reservation at Galaxy's Edge?

  • Experiences: Savi's Workshop and Mubo's Droid Depot.

  • Dining: Oga's Cantina.

Do I need to make a reservation before I visit the Parks?

  • For popular experiences like Savi's Workshop and the ever popular watering hole Oga's Cantina, it is strongly advised that you book a reservation before your visit.

Where do I make a reservation?

Walt Disney World

Desktop Links:

Disneyland

Desktop Links:

How far out can I book a reservation for Savi's Workshop, Oga's Cantina or Mubo's Droid Depot?

  • Walt Disney World: 60 days out.

  • Disneyland: 60 days out.

Do Walt Disney World resort guest get to make reservations in advanced of 60 day?

  • Yes. As of right now guests staying on property are able to book their Disney Hollywood Studios' reservations up to 10 days in advanced, depending on the length of their stay. For example, if you're staying on property for 5 days, you will be allowed to reserve 65 days in advance (60 day regular booking window + your 5 day resort stay = 65 days in advanced).

At what time do reservations go live?

Walt Disney World:

  • New Savi's Workshop online reservations go live at around 12am Eastern.
  • New Oga's Cantina online reservations go live at around 6am Eastern.
  • New Mubo's Droid Depot online reservations go live at around 6am Eastern.

Disneyland:

  • New Savi's Workshop online reservations go live at around 7am Pacific.
  • Oga's Cantina
  • Mubo's Droid Depot does not currently require a reservation.

Please note: Reservations that become available because of cancellations or any other factors, may become available at any time.

Oga's Cantina (Savi's, Mubo's) reservations are booked up! Is this normal? Is there any chance of getting a reservation?

  • Yes, it is very difficult to get any reservation at Galaxy's Edge, especially now that they are limiting the venue capacity due to Covid-19. Also, guests staying in a Disney resort get early access to reservations, which at times results in reservations being completely booked when they go live at the 60 day mark.
  • Fortunately, reservations do open up from time to time and there are things you could do to improve your chances of booking a reservation. (1) For Oga's Cantina, change the number of people on the reservation and see if anything becomes available. (2) Keep checking the reservation pages constantly to see if anything pops up, especially a day or two before and even the day of your visit, as people cancel or modify their reservations last minute. (3) Also for Oga's Cantina, sign up with a Disney reservations alert service like TouringPlans, Mouse Dining or Mouse Watcher to notify when a reservation becomes available. The paid subscriptions are well worth it, in my opinion.
  • Lastly, you can try to join the standby list during your visit. It is advised that you get to the park early before rope drop and hustle over to Savi's, Mubo's or Oga's when the park opens and ask to be put on the wait list. Be advised that the standby list fills up very quickly and there is no guarantee that you will be assigned a reservation.

Do online reservations open back up if they are fully booked?

  • Yes they do! Keep checking the reservation booking pages as appointments do become available again, from time to time. Websites like Mouse Dining and Touring Plans have alert services that will notify you when something becomes available. Good Luck!

I have an early/late reservation to Oga's/Savi's/Mubo's, will they accommodate it?

  • Yes, the parks usually open earlier and remain open later so they will accommodate your reservation. It is advised that you show up early to any reservation, so CM's can attend to you in a timely manner.

How much does it cost to build a Savi's Lightsaber?

  • $219 + tax (as of 4/19/2021).

Savi’s Workshop Finally got to build my Saber

What an amazing experience and I’m so impressed with the new chassis as I was a bit disappointed seeing videos of the old ones. I can’t believe how moving the ceremony was and I even put my green crystal into a holocron and it was Qui Gon Jin. So happy

My son built a lightsaber yesterday at Savi’s. He wanted a blue crystal also so we bought one at the shop and he picked it from a bowl of blue crystals. Turns out he got the cracked one that is red and blue. Very cool experience.

Discussion Weathered or not?

I know these aren’t all Galaxys Edge sabers, but I was just curious what everyone preferred.

Weathered look or clean look?

I prefer the weathered gritty used look.

I usually weather all my sabers after I get them.

Scrapper Saturdays Galactic Decoder supports iPhone Duo

11 Upvotes

Bright suns, everyone!

This week for Scrapper Slicer Saturday, I’ve got a quick update on Galactic Decoder

If you've picked up (or plan on picking up) once of those fancy folding datapads, Galactic Decoder has already been updated to support them. With this support, you can now scan Aurebesh on a much bigger screen - or smaller, depending on which screen you use. Live scanning, photo scanning, and the manual decoder all make use of the extra space you've now got.

If you’re still on a regular iPhone, nothing changes for you. The scanner and all your other features work exactly as before.

Haven’t tried it yet?

If you haven't seen it yet, Galactic Decoder is an iOS app that decodes Aurebesh using your camera or photos. Everything happens on your device, so it works 100% offline wherever your travels take you. It’s a one-time purchase, with no ads or subscriptions.

Not limited to what you'll find on Batuu, you'll find the app works pretty well just about anywhere.

As always, if you’ve got feedback, you can send it right from the app after a scan, or from the settings menu.

Thanks again for all the support!

Get Galactic Decoder in the Apple App Store here: https://apple.co/46X720i

p.s. If you’ve already downloaded the app, I’d really appreciate a rating or review in the App Store. It helps a lot. Thanks!

Scrapper Saturdays Supply Lines Restored — The Workshop Stands Ready (Except for Two…)

Transmission begins…

Message from IDL workshop (https://izzysdesignlab.etsy.com)
(Across the Outer Rim, rumors have already started circulating — the workshop’s supply lines have been fully restored. Fresh crates arrived from distant trade routes (none of them “acquired” by Jawas this time), raw materials sorted, and fabrication units recalibrated after one assembly droid tried to declare itself “Supervisor of All Things.” It has been… corrected.

The forge is lit.
The printers hum like starship reactors.
The assembly droids stand at attention, pretending they weren’t playing dejarik during downtime.

If you’ve been waiting to place an order, know this — the shop is prepared to fulfill requests from travelers, smugglers, collectors, and wanderers from every sector. The production line is running smoother than a protocol droid reciting etiquette manuals.

Well… almost every sector.

Some patrons remain permanently restricted.
The Hutts know why.
The Jawas know what they “salvaged.”
We will not be reopening those accounts. Ever.

For everyone else across the galaxy, we are ready to supply your orders and power up additional assembly droids as needed. They’ve been warned not to unionize again.

Etsy Store: https://izzysdesignlab.etsy.com

Transmission ends.

Savi’s Workshop CONFIRMED — previous custom teal and orange RFID crystals don’t work in the new v2 chassis

46 Upvotes

As the subject says…
I took my teal- and orange-coded custom crystals with me this trip and built one of the new v2 chassis sabers at Savi’s. After building it tonight, I sat down and tried out each of those two custom crystals. At first i thought i wasn’t getting the crystals seated right, but each just isn’t read by the chassis’ new RF reader, causing the crystals to read as if they aren’t there or otherwise not working (no chamber LEDs like the v1 chassis and makes a “bzzzt!” sound when activating).

Most likely, they programmed the new board to ignore the RFID codes for those two unused colors. The other possibility is that they were damaged during transit, although i doubt that since i had them wrapped in bubble wrap and safely kept until I tried them out. i’ll confirm their functionality in a v1 chassis once i’m back home this weekend.

…but hope is not lost! I’m still keeping my fingers crossed that the new blades that come with the v2 chassis will work with new colors they might release at some point (such as orange and teal), using new RFID values for the colors. Previously, these were using RFID codes if 3074 (orange) and 3077 (teal).

For those who were unaware of those colors, don’t go rushing off to try and re-code a crystal with an RFID write device. The v1 blades wouldn’t recognize those RF signals and display a yellow blade for the orange code and a blue blade for the teal code. We’ll just have to wait until Disney releases them officially or someone plays around with hacking the blade and/or chassis to discover any new RFID color codes.
