Oga's Cantina concept art

Disney has today released a new piece of concept art giving us a first look at Oga's Cantina, opening with Star Wars Galaxy's Edge in 2019 at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

Oga's Cantina concept art

According to Scott Trowbridge of Walt Disney Imagineering, "Visitors come to this notorious local watering hole to unwind, conduct shady business, and maybe even encounter a friend…or a foe. Run by an intriguing alien proprietor, Oga Garra, the cantina adheres to a strict code of conduct that tries to keep its unruly patrons in check. But with a history of being a smugglers’ safe haven and a popular stopping point for those seeking to avoid the authorities, you can bet that the cantina has a story or two to tell.

Oga's Cantina is the kind of establishment that attracts some of the most interesting and disreputable characters in the galaxy. And you never know when a stormtrooper or a familiar face will show up. Patrons of the cantina come from across the galaxy to sample the famous concoctions created with exotic ingredients using “otherworldly” methods, served in unique vessels. With choices for kids and libations for adults, the cantina will make for a great stop!

Musical entertainment is provided courtesy of RX-24, the former StarSpeeder 3000 pilot droid we first met in Star Tours, who has re-envisioned himself as the cantina’s DJ. As quirky and talkative as ever, he’s still trying to do his best on the job.

Get ready to listen to some unique music, taste the best drinks in the galaxy, and surround yourself with a colorful cast of characters. You never know what will happen at the cantina!"

I definitely understand people not feeling like it's worth the price. I'm not a huge Star Wars fan anymore but my last trip I decided to do it. It was a surprisingly emotional experience. It felt like a taste of the Starcruiser experience in that you ARE in Savi's workshop and Savi himself (is it always a him?) leads you through an almost ceremonial process of assembling your lightsaber. It's 15-20 minutes, but it really is a top notch experience. The CM playing Savi was really, really good and the lightsaber itself feels hefty and high quality. I would never try to convince someone to drop the money, but I had no regrets. My biggest worry was what I'd do with it on my flight home, but fortunately, they just let me put it in the overhead.

Perhaps an over estimation on its popularity ?

I'm still mad that Florida is $25 more dollars than California. There's also 0 dates sold out except for May 4 from May 4th-10th.

"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
