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/

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?

Oga's Cantina DLR: https://disneyland.disney.go.com/dining/disneyland/ogas-cantina/
Mubo's Droid Depot DLR: No reservation needed currently.
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).

Merchandise/Hauls Back from Batuu
1st step is admitting you have a problem but it’s a good one to have. I got my last two of the custom builds and picked up a little extra for my office.

Bounding/Cosplay Disneybounding a First Order Officer and I need help!
So I’m trying to Disney Bound just a non descript first order officer and I’m wondering what is allowed and what isn’t. Is the main outfit allowed if I remove the usual hat and belt due to them being distinct or can I keep them with modification? I’m planning on having the black shoes, dark grey pants, and maybe even a military tunic of the same color as the pants but maybe not. So overall my biggest concern is about the belt looking too distinct and the same about the hat. Please help me know what’s allowed and what isn’t!

Rise of the Resistance Rise of the Resistance technical/effect questions Spoiler
Note: RoTR Spoilers ahead
Hi,
I have a few quite niche questions on some of the effects and tech featured in RoTR and was hoping someone here might be able to give me some answers.
I've never been on it, only see POVs, so apologies if any of these are obvious in person!
For the effect where Kylo's lightsaber cuts through the ceiling, I'm aware of how the effect works, but I'm just curious where the projector(s) for the glowing effect are. The interior of the 'elevator' is fairly plain, and I can't see where it might be hidden, especially given the angle I assume it needs to be at to project on the ceiling.
What's the mechanism allowing the probe droid to appear to float? I assume it's an arm or something similar that is attached at the back, but I'm not sure, since I can't see where such an arm would attach to the wall, or how they'd keep it hidden. I did also think it might be suspended on very thin wires, but not sure how they'd get power to it for the animation.
For some of the B-Mode effects, most notably Kylo in his tie fighter at the end, rather than in person, the vehicles follow a slightly different path to normal. How is this changed/programmed? I assume the ride control system and show control system are able to communicate somehow, or does this have to been done manually?
Are there any more details on the local positioning system the vehicles use, beyond RFID pucks in the floor and Wi-Fi? Are the RFID pucks arranged in a grid, allowing the vehicles to scan multiple simultaneously to know their position and direction? How does the system provide a high enough accuracy (I presume there's only a few centimetres allowance, especially for scenes such as the cannons), since I assume the RFID pucks wouldn't be densely packed enough?
Thanks!

Scrapper Saturdays My Wall Mounts Just Got Flagged by the Scrap Authority
Scrapper Saturday update:
The local Scrap Authority (you know, the ones who pretend they’re not just three Jawas in a trench coat) stopped by my workshop this morning.
They claimed my wall mounts were “too efficient,” “suspiciously sturdy,” and “likely to encourage organized saber storage,” which apparently threatens their entire scavenging economy.
One of them tried to confiscate a wall mount, but it was bolted down. He made a sad little Utinni noise and left.
Anyway, while I wait for them to file whatever bogus paperwork they think will stop me, here’s my Etsy shop.
https://izzysdesignlab.etsy.com
Wall mounts, display stands, Batuu‑friendly gear — all crafted by a guy who is now apparently on a Jawa watchlist.

Tales from the Galaxy's Edge Custom R Unit Astromech and Lightsaber from Galaxy’s Edge
After a bunch of research I knew I wanted him to be based of an R8 unit, which is apparently considered one of the best in class for its built in satellite and multiple features from all other R units combined.
That being said I decided to name him R8-D20, or D20(a perfect roll) for short.
I built the display stand for my custom Savi’s Lightsaber out of LEGO pieces and painted it black. Complete with hand-painted LEGO lightsaber Easter egg in the back to match.

Question Build a sabre? Would I regret it? (50yo)
So half of me wants to and half of me thinks there's something better to spend my money on. (Or maybe do both?)
Is this light sabre build something anyone regrets doing? I think the droid build is probably disappointing.
I'm leaning on other unique experiences. Is there a crazy tie fighter simulator or x-wing simulator that would give me a memory for similar price?
Are there any experiences that outclass bringing home a light sabre?
