Droid Depot-Merchandise in Galaxy’s Edge
Droids are a huge part of the Star Wars Universe, from the beloved R2D2 to the new member of the family that we will meet in Rise of Skywalker, D-O, they become best friends, side-kicks or even adversaries. Now you can visit a workshop stocked with parts, chips, manuals and other tech items useful for constructing your very own droid.
The store itself is fun to visit even if you are not building a droid. They have ready made droids like R2D2 and DJ Rex, this is also the place where you can buy your very own, customized, life size and fully operational R2 unit for $25k.
But if you want to build your own droid here’s what you need to do.
You pick a BB-series unit or R-series unit with the clerk, who’ll provide a basket and blueprint for parts. Next, proceed to the following stations and begin your droid-building experience.

Here you’ll follow simple “placemat” instructions or graphic monitor displays to assemble your droid in the proper sequence.
