Construction around Entrance to Star Wars Galaxy's Edge
Posted: Friday October 20, 2017 10:00am EDT by WDWMAGIC Staff

More construction walls have been added around the Grand Avenue area at Disney's Hollywood Studios, which will form much of the overflow and entrance area to Star Wars Galaxy's Edge.

Around the Star Tours exit, the small balcony has been closed.

Goofy is now meeting and greeting along Grand Avenue.

And finally, here is a latest look at the end of Grand Avenue, which is where you will pass through a tunnel and into Star Wars Galaxy's Edge.

"Joe, we only had 15 of 16 people show up for your lightsaber building session. I'm afraid we're going to have to let you go."

Budgeting for those performing roles must be difficult without supporting revenue.

The price is actually on par with some custom built sabers you can find online. Not sure the quality difference. But you also get the "show" in Galaxy's Edge. https://saberforge.com/collections/elite-sabers/products/prodigal-son

You're being tongue and cheek. I get it. Still, reservations were made with an expectation of payment. Then there are no shows. I'm surprised they didn't set it up as pay at time of reservation to begin with, like dessert parties.

They must have had enough people no-show that it cut into revenue targets. Can’t have that.

I have done both. Savi's is a much better more intimate experience of the two. Is it worth another $150? I don't know. I also did it before the price hike so I "saved" a little bit there. I am glad I did it but wouldn't do it again probably.

I haven't done the lightsaber building (and never will at that price; I'm not that interested) but I have done the droid building because my GF wanted to try it. It's definitely not worth the price. The droid itself is neat enough, but it feels like the "experience" is the reason for the price and there's very little to it.

It’s definetly pricey, but it’s not *that* much more than a Legacy Saber and it is an incredible experience.

I'm sure this has been discussed ad nauseum on here, but how could anyone think this is worth the price?

For those making reservations at Savi's Workshop - Handbuilt Lightsabers, be aware that Disney says full payment is now due at the time of booking vs the payment being due upon arrival at the location.

Her stoic personality is the result of poor directors who don't know how direct a strong female character without portraying one as personality less, bland, dull person, with no emotions. They (various directors) do this constantly now

Except Luke was not introduced to mass audiences in Return of the Jedi. The movie's first 40 minutes are the end of the previous film. And RotJ Luke is also my least favourite Luke.

Funny thing is the several times I rode Hondo was working perfect, but his droid was either still, or simply turning his head. It wasn't until the last time that I got to see how animated he could be.

If you only knew Luke from "Return of the Jedi" one might think similarly.
