New SWGE Superthread! Now Open to All! (6/24/2019)

[Skyegirl1999]

Does anyone know if a Savi's reservation only allows entry to the section for up to two people if it's at capacity, or would a family of four all be able to enter on one reservation? We're planning on trying for a Oga's reservation too, so it may be moot. We're headed there the week before Labor Day, so I'm worried that crowding may be an issue by then.

Currently, you can only have two observers per builder. All sorts of things are more than likely going to change by the time you’re going, so I think you should wait and check back closer to that (after August 20), and see what kinds of procedures are happening.

For the benefit of others avoiding stress: I see absolutely no reason to try to be in a virtual queue before 7am. I made four different Cantina reservations this past week (not all for me!), and 3/4 times I simply jumped on the page around 7 and refreshed until the day opened up (was 7:01 most times). I’d get the “sit tight, friend” screen briefly and then go straight to the booking page. I was online all of the other days around 7:15 and there was still tons of availability (that’s when I booked the fourth day). Some days, there were reservations open until 10 or 11am.

You do want to book around 7, especially if you want a specific time, but there’s no reason to be in there early like I keep seeing people mention.

I was already in line for rope drop Peter Pan so I just checked at about 6.45am and got the virtual queue/ hold tight friend do not leave or refresh this page

Just double checking. We can bring our droid through security if it’s not in a backpack? I’m bringing mine in a reusable tote bag. Also I read something about not letting the first order see them out..what does this mean?

My kid really wants to build a droid but isnt interested in the lightsabers. Any observations on the wait times to build a droid?

I believe you can bring your droid back to GE in whatever you want to carry him in.. not positive though.
Droids and Lightsabers are contraband on Batuu and not allowed to be displayed openly. I did notice several people with their sabers out to take pictures after dark, but you can't walk around with them and you can't operate droids (although if Chewy specifically asks you to, I would do it).

Now I'm confused...the lightsabers I understand, but I thought the droids were supposed to interact with the land? On the other hand, I can see a small, bluetooth droid army being a walking hazard. ha!

I just don’t want to get in trouble lol. I won’t operate it, but I wanted to hold it in the bag so it can interact. I might even buy a personality chip for it.

It will interact with the land.. from within the safety of it's box. I had a Rebellion chip in mine. When I went into the rebel area it was very excited, shaking around in it's box. I didn't really pay too much attention to what it was doing the rest of the time, but there are supposed to be numerous places to interact.

What? My son carried his light saber around all day. (Not a Savi’s light saber.)

Maybe plastic ones are different. We had one of our Savi ones out and a CM came by and said "Weapons are illegal on Batuu". Although, like I said, we were there Friday night and people had them out taking pictures with them. They look awesome at night in front of the MF. Maybe as long as you aren't swinging them around or disturbing people they give you a pass now. We were there the first week when we were told to put it back in the case.

Yesterday I openly carried around my lightsaber hilt on my belt and saw someone carrying around their droid outside of a box/bag while doing a mini photoshoot with it. I think as long as you're not doing anything that will be hazardous to other guests then I doubt a CM will stop you. To me one of the major selling points of the droids is to be able to bring them back to interact with the different areas of SWGE.

I've brought my droid back twice in the backpack. Security just looks in it and no issues.

You can carry your droid around all you want, you just can't operate it. The website says:

Using a remote-control device to operate a droid while at the theme parks will be prohibited; please carry the droid around Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge to allow it to interact with elements in the land.

We’ve arrived. It feels very busy.

 

[interstate70s]

We had a cantina reservation for 10:45 am today. When we checked in they were taking walk ins.

Perfect! Can’t wait to bring it on Thursday!

There wasn’t much of a line Saturday when I was over there.

There wasn't any line yesterday around noon. I walked right up to the register to pay for mine.

 

[FireflyTrance]

Are they still sold out of droid personality chips?
