Star Wars“-themed lands are opening this summer and fall at Disneyland in Anaheim, California and Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida.

Fans will be able to board the Millennium Falcon and face off with Kylo Ren in two new attractions coming to the parks when they visit the planet of Batuu. But a trip to a galaxy far, far away isn’t complete without some toys, clothes, and lightsabers that will be exclusive to the Disney Parks.

Disney provided INSIDER with photos for upcoming “Star Wars” merch guests will be able to get around the 14-acre land from several outposts.

From astromech droids and custom lightsabers you can build to plush characters designed for the parks, keep reading to see what will be available at “Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.”


You can’t go to “Galaxy’s Edge” and not have a lightsaber. Guests will be able to build custom lightsabers at Savi’s Workshop.

Fans young and old won’t just be assembling together any old lightsaber. According to Disney, guests will be able to choose the kyber crystal – the crystal which allows a lightsaber to work – that will be at the heart of their saber.

If you want a lightsaber, it’s going to cost you an arm and a leg. According to Entertainment Weekly, the hilt (bottom part of the saber) will cost about $US109. The blade will cost an additional $US49.99.

Lightsaber colours will range from blue, green, and purple Jedi colours to red for Sith lords.


The Droid Depot will let visitors build their own astromech droids.

Guests will be able to pick parts off a conveyor belt to build a small droid more reflective of R2-D2 or BB-8’s style.


The remote-controlled bots can be customised with different colours and will be able to interact with different areas in “Galaxy’s Edge.”

If you don’t want to build your own little BB-8, you’ll also be able to purchase a pre-built one.


Here’s the little box your individual droid will come inside.

You’ll also be able to pick up some droid gear at the Droid Depot.


Once you have your lightsaber and your droid, it’s time to head to Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities.

According to Disney, the store will sell ancient Jedi and Sith artifacts.


One of the items you’ll be able to get is a Holocron.

Jedi and Sith used Holocrons to pass down teachings to future generations of Jedi Knights and Sith Lords to better understand the Force. If you have a kyber crystal, you’ll be able to unlock more content from the Holocrons.


Jedi memorabilia that will be available include busts of Yoda, Mace Windu, mugs, and notebooks.

Here’s an assortment of the Jedi items that will be available at “Galaxy’s Edge,” including busts and statues. Obi-Wan Kenobi, Aayla Secura, and Mace Windu are among the characters highlighted here.


A Darth Maul bust is a highlight of the Sith items.

The Sith items look a bit more sleek than the Jedi offerings. Just saying.


If you want a cuddly friend instead, You’ll want to head to the Creature Stall.

There you’ll be able to find Porgs, Tauntauns, and other creatures that are natural inhabitants of the Black Spire Outpost on Batuu.


Those won’t be the only plush friends you can get.

You’ll be able to find artisan-style renditions of Kylo Ren, Rey, Chewbacca, and more at the Toydarian Toymaker stall. They will also carry wood and tin toys along with some musical instruments seen above.


Of course, it wouldn’t be a trip to a galaxy far, far away if you couldn’t dress in Jedi or Sith robes.

According to Disney, Black Spire Outfitters will let guests mix and match looks to blend in at Galaxy’s Edge.


The Resistance Supply location is one place where you’ll be able to pick up gear to dress like a Jedi.

The location will also sell pins, badges, hats, and more to make you feel like you’re joining the Resistance.


If you want to dress like the First Order, there’s an outfit for you, too.

If Jedi and Sith robes aren’t your cup of tea, the First Order Cargo will let you pick up threads to be part of the 709 Legion. The area will also have pins, model ships, hats, and more.
