That’s a bit much I get the tech inside is far more elaborate as is the actual product. But when Potter wands and the experience cost 40/52 and for this it cost 199 and from what we can see offer no interactivity with the land I feel a bit jilted. I might be tempted to do the Droid though!

The sabers have a lot more parts and are significantly bigger than the wands. This is actually cheaper than I thought the sabers would be!

I agree. I was expecting $150 or so, but going to $200 seems a bit much. The show experience would have to be pretty amazing.

I mentioned that! I understand the sabers are far more an intricate a product! But even so I feel the price is a tad much for the product.
That Ashoka and Jedi temple guard legacy blades are tempting...I also want to build a custom one better start saving

I hope reservations aren't too hard to come by and those who want to do this can! Also I get that Ashoka one! Hands down the best character from clone wars.
In my humble opinion she’s one of the best characters in Star Wars period...of course she didn’t start that way but man she has to have one of the best turnaround stories in terms of characters.
While this isn’t the saber forge thread I simply had to share this post that I wrote up that you can find in the saber forge thread I cannot contain my excitement.
“WE HAVE VIDEO OF THE SABER! It’s everything I wanted it to be, theirs a neat effect with the crystal I won’t spoil.
Set:
Power and Control
*You also get the pin”

We were at Star Wars Celebration at the Star Wars Show stage when Ashley Eckstein came on stage and was presented with the Ahsoka sabers. They looked pretty amazing and I knew I had to buy them when we went to Galaxy's Edge!

Does anybody have a list of the creature stall or toy shop products and prices? Or do I have to sit through some of these YouTube videos to find them? I've seen the plushes and wooden ships are around $20 and the Kowakian Monkey Lizard puppet is $70.
I sat through the video with the sabers. Here's the prices on those in text form:

Go Ahead, Take Our Money: All the Star Wars Merch in Disney’s New Land
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...6KMQ0Kg41FvcQvt-dtL7tLiCQUIb_HaylQcyI9bsXkrAM
Forget what you’ve heard about gliding into the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon or seeing Chewbacca face-to-face at Disney’s latest thematic romp. When Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opens at Disneyland Park in Anaheim, Calif., on May 31 and Walt Disney World outside Orlando later this year, it won’t just be a collection of attractions, entertainment, and a liquor-slinging cantina. It’s also a nerd mall.
The highlight of Disneyland Resort’s largest-ever land expansion and first large-scale footprint since Walt Disney Co.’s acquisition of Lucasfilm more than six years ago is undoubtedly the merchandise. Come for a vivid universe of attractions, stay for a detailed treasure trove referencing every obscure toy, cackling monkey, and pathetic pretzel rod that characters such as Jyn Erso, Leia Organa, and Luke Skywalker have encountered in the 42-year history of the film franchise.
As for the rest of the land? It’s brilliantly Star Wars with a Disney sheen. Since park offerings are centered on the planet of Batuu (not yet seen in the films), whose gone-by-the-wayside Black Spire Outpost trading station has become a new stomping ground for the First Order, the light-vs.-dark conflict is there but subtle. Expect Stormtroopers to gently accost you, Rey and Chewbacca to interact and more references to Solo throughout than one might expect. Still, there’s no space scum lurking around the cantina, just friendly human staffers. Droids won’t be wandering the 14-acre expanse until crowds subside, the prospect of which itself may be in a galaxy far, far away.
Till then, there’s shopping to be done. Disney has mastered finding something for everyone both in terms of age (the Toydarian Toymaker shop is stocked with games, sweet stuffed dolls and cantina band instruments) and fandom, with offerings for casual Jedi enthusiasts and die-hards spread among their different points of entry, whether cinematic or animated, new or old.
If you’ve ever wanted your wedding photos held inside a frame by C-3PO’s disembodied hand, you’re in luck for $85. Crave the half-melted face of a battered-down Luke cast in bronze? Dream big, young Padawan, because everything you never thought could be put into production is here.
Pick up a few chance cubes like Watto’s in “The Phantom Menace,” a busted wooden Stormtrooper doll similar to the one young Jyn Erso had in “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” or decorate your desk with Hera Syndulla’s prized Kalikori as seen in “Star Wars Rebels.” There’s even a Resistance MRE toolbox filled with pretzels, crackers, and candies designed after the dinner Luke refuses to share with Yoda in “The Empire Strikes Back.”
No longer are fans of “Revenge of the Sith” relegated to the edge of the internet; Here, one can purchase triangular Sith holocrons for $49.99 that’ll recite Emperor Palpatine’s “Return of the Jedi” speech—or even don his robes (produced from archival designs) and $150 cane yourself. (Note that Disney’s policies haven’t changed with the advent of this far-flung planet; only children under age 14 can wear full costuming inside the park.)
Even the toys aren’t, as one could say, galactic basic. Many products sold among the stalls in the marketplace section of Galaxy’s Edge—an expanse inspired by bazaars and souks in Turkey and Morocco—emphasize handmade designs or are seemingly whittled from natural materials, like a poseable jointed Admiral Ackbar doll for $19.99 or a small wooden Convor that doubles as a whistle. Pick up a fuzzy brown Bantha or a bat-like Mynock and quell your surprise when they react to your touch; the Tauntauns will growl, Puffer Pigs grunt, Loth cats hiss, and the deadly Rathar, seen in The Force Awakens, shake uncontrollably when activated.
Fans are already clamoring for the most popular items like customizable R- or BB-series droids from the Droid Depot (where guests can select their own parts off a conveyor belt for $99 a pop) and personalized lightsabers crafted in Savi’s Workshop. The exclusive, handbuilt lightsaber experience costs $199. (Both the Depot and Savi’s are likely to take reservations going forward.) With a selection of pieces for each, the deep-cut enhancements don’t end there. Disneyland is even selling modifications, like R2-D2’s cocktail tray used to serve drinks aboard Jabba the Hutt’s barge in “Return of the Jedi,” to turn your droid into a tiny remote-controlled waiter, twisting indelible cinematic moments into must-buy souvenirs.
Kyber crystals within Savi’s Workshop’s customized lightsabers are interchangeable with holocrons and “legacy lightsabers,” or $100-$200 hilts modeled after popular Star Wars characters, sold around the corner at Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities—the first place a collector should beeline toward within the intentionally decrepit land. This cavernous shop rife with collectibles and oddities is where devoted superfans will gleefully flip open their wallets, and it’s the only one on Batuu manned by a nonhuman creature. Here, Dok-Ondar—a towering audio-animatronic figure who oscillates between sitting and standing to tally his sales—has hoarded the good stuff. You can ask him for a discount, but don’t expect one; the discerning Ilthorian won’t interact directly with guests visiting the park but with staff, who translate his native tongue.
Other items within the den are unique designs for true galaxy obsessives, with $325 General Grevious masks, $450 Imperial Tie Fighter Helmets and $200 models of Darth Vader’s obsidian sanctum, ideal for the thriving dadwho needs to zhuzh up his in-home theater. The upper level, filled with relics from past films only a keen eye could identify, also boasts a 12-foot taxidermied Wampa and plenty of items recognizable to fans, while the rest of the store offers collectibles such as statues and busts from the Jedi Temple and General Palpatine’s office as well as a likeness of Darth Maul, among others. Between sandstone art of Jabba the Hutt, Padmé Amidala stained-glass squares, and a statuette of Supreme Leader Snoke on his throne seemingly made of iron, every inch of Dok-Ondar’s den is fan service at its stunning finest.
There’s even a jewelry section, offering a collection of galactic baubles including Rose Tico’s crescent necklace ($50), a half-circle pendant necklace ($295) modeled after Qi’ra’s in “Solo: A Star Wars Story,” and Leia’s famed silver-plated Chalcedony Waves necklace for $2000. (The actual Planetoid Valleys necklace by Lapponia, as worn in the film, costs a cool $2,500.)
Still, even with a $25,000 full-scale automated R2-D2, the most talked-about take-home item is likely to come free with a soda purchase. Aurebesh alphabet-branded Dasani water bottles and tiny containers of Coke, Diet Coke, and Sprite sold within the land are bound to be hot-ticket items, popping up on eBay even prior to opening. The Walt Disney Company spending a rumored billion bucks on a transportive, expansive theme park land and having hand-held plastic grenades of soda feels more American than interplanetary, but for Star Wars fans, being able to take home any piece of the saga is worth it.

The Merchandise of Batuu/Black Spire Outpost
With all the merchandise being shown off at Celebration and the hype around it I feel it is appropriate to have a separate thread for the unspoken gem of Batuu...the Merch! Use this thread to discuss everything in terms of merch around Batuu. I'll post some of the merch we know about below...
Edited to add: To avoid confusion, this post and the previous one were moved to the main thread.

Whoops. Didn’t know that thread existed. Mods, obviously, feel free to delete this.Maybe this would be better posted in the Galaxy's Edge merchandise thread?
