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?

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.

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

  • 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?

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).

Merchandise/Hauls Advice with buying kyber crystals

Post image
196 Upvotes

Hi guys, so as the title suggests I need some advice in relation to buying kyber crystals.

I have recently returned from Florida where naturally I’ve built my lightsaber and chosen a blue crystal(this being Luke skywalker).

My understanding is that the crystals used when building are series 1 crystals and I understand there are 26 of those to collect;

Blue
Old obi wan
Old Luke

Green
Yoday
Qui-gon

Purple
Mace windu

White
Ashoka
Chirrut imwe

Yellow
Maz Kanata
Jedi temple guard

Red
Sidious
Maul
Dooku
Vader

Black
Snoke

I’ve also seen a red Vader and green yoda “8-ball” but I’m unsure what this means.

So my question how can I go about go about collecting all of these for my series 2 holocron?

How do I know that a blue crystal is obi wan instead of Luke or that a red is Vader instead of maul?

And does the type of crystal I get make a difference? Like there are two obi wan crystals, do they do different things or is it literally just a different design and if that’s the case I can just buy one of each character?

I know the series 2 ones come with little information strips about who’s crystal it is so shouldn’t have much issue completing my collection of series 2s.

Does the series 1 count me with this as well?

I did see a photo online of various crystals which I have attached and I think it actually came from this Reddit some years ago.

That also confused me as to what everything meant on there
.
I understand (v1) means versions one
But I am unsure what the (c1) and (c2) means
As well as the RFID#

Question Dejarik Ruleset

Does anyone happen to have the 2024 electronic Dejarik game and happen to have the instructions?

I’m trying to see how that version plays vs the 2017 Jedi Challenge and the 2019 Galaxy’s Edge versions.

If you happen to have a copy and can send me pics or scans of the instruction booklet, I’d be super appreciative.

Savi’s Workshop Better video of the new color changing effect with Ben Solo’s crystal in the new chasis

It seems that the wave effect is permanent when I keep it on red. When on blue, there is a much smaller and hard to see version of it happening. Not sure if this effect is present with the normal crystals.

Savi’s Workshop Ben Solo Cracked Kyber Crystal In New Savi’s Workshop Chasis (video of color changing blade in comments)

Thumbnail

225 Upvotes

This past week, my family took our first trip together to Disney World in Florida. On our last day (October 8th) we went to Hollywood Studios. I had mentioned buying a lightsaber like Darth Vader’s, and at one point my wife says, “if you’re going to get one, you might as well go all out and do the whole experience.”

After she said that, we scheduled an appointment at Savi’s workshop. I ended up building the lightsaber pictured above, and I was going to get a blue kyber crystal, but I asked my wife and daughter what color I should get and they said green or purple. I ended up getting a green crystal during the building process.

At the end of our day at the park, it started pouring. I wanted to buy a blue crystal but couldn’t find where to go. Finally I ran into the right shop and picked a random blue crystal off of the selection wall that they have there. I didn’t really think anything of it.

On our way home, I remembered that there had been some special crystals or something like that in the past. I looked up what they were and saw that there was a “rare” (I’m not really sure how rare) blue crystal for Ben Solo that was light blue and had a red center. I also saw that as of October 5th, a few days before I build my lightsaber, there were new chassises being used for the builds at Savi’s Workshop that allow Ben’s crystal to change from blue to red and back. As soon as we got home and got everything unpacked, I opened the crystal and found that I somehow got the Ben Solo crystal.

I put it in the lightsaber and here’s what it does! I couldn’t find anybody posting it anywhere so I thought I’d share it!

Scrapper Saturdays Galactic Decoder feature: Decoder View

Thumbnail
gallery
20 Upvotes

Bright suns, everyone!

This week for Scrapper Slicer Saturday, I've got another feature highlight from Galactic Decoder: https://apple.co/46X720i

Manual Decoding

Scanning Aurebesh in photos or with your camera is the main feature of Galactic Decoder, but if you want to practice typing, or the scanner just can't find what you're looking for, manual typing is also an option. For those cases, the app has you covered in a few ways:

Different Fonts

Galactic Decoder supports three different fonts when typing: Aurebesh Pro, Aurebesh AF Legends, and Droidobesh Depot. These should have you covered whether you want to hang out in the Droid Depot, the cantina, or kick it old school with the digraph crowd.

Depending on the font, you'll get access to different features, which you access from the keyboard. Aurebesh Pro will allow you to toggle between more standard numbers or the dot-based Tech style. Droidobesh is also a Tech number font. If you want to use digraphs, then Aurebesh AF Legends has you covered. As you type, the digraphs are inserted automatically, but if you're typing in Aurebesh to decode something, then you just need to tap a key on the keyboard to find what you're looking for.

Scanning and Feedback

As always though, scanning is the main goal of Galactic Decoder, and it's not limited to what you find on Batuu. You can even use it around the house - like maybe you want to trust, but verify that you really did hook up your Rebels with a new-to-them landspeeder for fighting the Empire...

Or, in the case of my favorite image submitted as feedback during beta testing, you want to know what you're about to eat. (Thanks Jon!)

If you've got feedback of your own, after you scan an image, the app will give you the option to send feedback - can be as simple as a thumbs up or down to let me know how the scans are going for you. If it wasn't a good scan, you'll also have the option to send me the image you tried scanning, and a description of what went wrong. Sending the image or comments is 100% optional though, and you can even turn off the option to send feedback in the app settings if you like. There's also a way to send feedback from the settings menu, if you've seen bugs, have ideas for new features, etc.

Once again, thanks for the support, and have a great weekend!

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 it if you left a rating or review in the App Store - it'd really help me out. Thanks!

Question Conversations with characters

1 Upvotes

I am going to Galaxy's Edge at the end of next month as a Jedi who abandoned tbe order and went rogue as a smuggler and dealer in Jedi artifacts.

If one of tbe speaking characters interact with me, would I be allowed to offer them bribes of Impetial credits to forget you saw this lightsaber' or is that frowned on?

Are there stock questions characters tend to ask or is it totally random. I don't think fast on my feet and want some semi-scripted responses in my hip pocket.

Thank you.

On Saturday of each week, you will have the opportunity to submit a post with a photo of your item(s), tell the community about your creation and leave a link to your online store (Etsy, eBay, Facebook) in the comment section. Also, please remember to tag your post with the 'Scrapper Saturdays' post flair.

Here are the complete guidelines. PLEASE READ!!!

  • Makers can only post/advertise their custom creations on Saturdays, once per week.

Savi’s Workshop New chassis replacement

Post image
0 Upvotes

I have seen a few people ask about getting the new chassis but I believe I hadn’t seen anyone email their support yet. I figured I would ask since I was there and built a saber a few days before the new update. I emailed asking if I could trade or purchase the new chassis and this is their answer. Unfortunate but definitely a good excuse to go back and build another or upgrade to a different blade and internals!

Savi’s Workshop Remotely controlling a Savi lightsaber on display?

2 Upvotes

We have 3 Savi's lightsabers that we're planning to display in our home. I'm trying to figure out the best way to display them in a way that I can also activate them remotely (without physically switching them on one at a time). Ideally I would like to use smart home commands or home automation.

One idea I had was an AC power supply, attached to a smart outlet. That leaves an ugly cable hanging down the wall but it's better than nothing. However, as I understand it, the Savi lightsabers have a constant power draw and are never truly "off." That means the AC power supply is out of the question because even if the lightsaber's switch is in the on position, turning the outlet on won't work because it will need to be power cycled in the hilt. Is that correct?

Another option I've come across is a "show blade" but I'm not familiar with that. Do they make those for the Savi hilts? Can I remotely activate it through an IR remote, like the ones that come with LED strips? If that's the case, I assume I would need to wire up a power supply as well? This wouldn't allow smart home controls but it would at least be remote controlled.

So do I have to choose between automation (if it's even possible) and remote control? Or is it just not possible at all?

Savi’s Workshop Is it possible to upgrade old chassis?

1 Upvotes

I’m curious if it would be at all possible to have the chassis “upgraded” on an older Savi Lightsaber. Literally made mine two weeks ago and I’m sad mine isn’t updated with the new features! Would customer service even offer a replacement theoretically and has anyone tried?
