What are the blasters? I feel like we're going to need some of those ….

There's also a jet pack!

The blasters attach to the side legs (you have to remove the side paneling on the leg to do so) and there's a button on the controller to make them go "pew pew!". Traditional blaster noise, but I like to still pretend it's a nice high pitched "pew pew" noise when I harass my cat :rotfl: . They don't move sadly, you have to aim them to begin with, but the ends do light up and blaster noise, of course.

Oh! Another tip I wish I'd realized before I built! You can buy additional colors of the paneling pieces for the R units. If I had been smart, I'd have gotten the 4 panel pieces that are part of the build process in white so I could buy the black set and replace the compartment doors to black (and therefore have a full set of white and full set of black).

I ended up forgoing it for now because I'd have 4 in black of the same pieces when I only need the 4 compartment doors. I'll probably pick it up my next trip knowing me lol

Why does the final price on this $100 droid keep inching higher? :rotfl:

Sorry! I'm an enabler! I really do think the backpack is a worthwhile up front investment, though. And the other stuff can be added later. You know, like maybe a good behavior reward or something :cool1:

For real, though, I brought my droid to work today and had so much fun having him roll around and greet everyone. They really are super fun toys :)

What chip did you get

Ended up with the orange one. I think I used it for all of 10 minutes before pulling it out. Maybe it's better when they interact with other droids? I did find it a lot more difficult to hear in GE than the standard R2 noises.
 
My wife is in DL today to try and get her Colonel rank. Does anyone know if it's possible for a single person to watch the lightsaber ceremony without getting one?
 




The backpack is honestly worth it I think. Made it a lot easier (and safer) to tote around my little friend.

I took him on Space no issue. The box is a huge pain (although note that battery instructions are on the bottom of the box; I made sure to still get the box and then put my droid in the backpack after I stepped away from the Depot). Plus for return visits it makes life much easier having the backpack :)

I'm not that thrilled with my personality chip, but I do not regret getting the backpack or the blasters.

Oooh good tip! Thank you!
Hubby just said, at this point, just buy the backpack.
Lol
 
Do CMs guide you through the droid-making process? I really should watch a video before I try this next month, lol.

On the backpack- are there any attractions that are difficult to take it on with the droid inside and is there room for anything other than the droid in the backpack?

I have a small loungefly backpack I'm using next trip for the first time and I'm not sure I want to juggle both with my husband, haha.
 
So according to the Disneyland guide for disabilities, it doesn't list any companion restrooms in galaxys edge. But when u look at the map it does look like there is one according to the symbols that match the others in the park. For those who have been there have you ever seen one there? I want to do some exploring there with my mom who is in a wheelchair, we probably wont do either ride, but it would be nice to know if there is one there if we need it
 
Yes. Behind the Blue Milk stand, (trying to get my bearings mentally) there is a set of bathrooms. In the middle between the entrance to the Men's and Womens, there is a companion bathroom. It is by the entrance closer to Frontierland than Fantasy Land.
 
Looking at the map, there is also supposed to be one in the Market Place, I haven't seen it, but it should be there.
 
I'm pretty sure there are some by the marketplace on the Fantasyland side. I saw 2 companion restrooms there.
 
My son is trying to figure out if the Droids are worth it to build. One thing he wants to know is, exactly how interactive are the droids in the land? Do they just chirp or make noises with the objects in the land, or do they do other things also?
