Tatooine Traders at Disney's Hollywood Studios will be undergoing a refurbishment beginning September 5 2018.

The Star Wars shop at the exit of Star Tours is will be receiving some enhancements with a relaunch expected in mid-October 2018.

During the work, the Doid factory and Amazing Pictures areas will not be available. A Droid factory can be found in Star Wars Launch Bay, and Amazing Pictures can be found at Rock'n' Roller Coaster.

The remainder of the store will remain open during the refurbishment.

Yeah I have been wondering the same thing. I am thinking food cart area. Weird that they ripped out everything they just planted to do it.

Kman101Nov 17, 2018

Too bad they didn't place the land and it's entrance, you know, next to Star Tours ... but I guess that would kill an Indy expansion. And I know their excuse was they wanted a draw at the end of streets (Radiator Springs would have worked; just saying ...). I just think they could have done it differently, but I'm not making the decisions, lol.

Anyone know what they’re building right outside the entrance? It looks like a small structure like a DVC kiosk or food stand.

I was there this morning and I like how open the area is now. On a side note, I haven’t seen DHS this packed by 9:30 a.m. it will be crazy crowded when the new attractions come next year.

Between this and the changes to the World of Disney store, I'm liking the direction, if only because it should allow for much better flow of people (and strollers).

Best idea yet

The thing we can do on our phones for free without a green screen? The imagineers are changing their job title to "meet & greet specialist."

As I got off Imagination last week, a group of CMs were yelling across the way/running up to guests to come over and "try out" the picture things. I completely forgot those were still a thing...

That seems to be the minimalist trend that Disney's chasing right now. It is a good idea, though, to get rid of all of the 'custom photo' stations from all of the gift shops. That ship has sailed awhile ago.

It looks more open and bigger than I remember it. It does not look like there is much themeing, unless cement floors and open ceilings IS the theme?

Thanks for the photos! Looks cleaner and less congested, hope it stays that way! ;)

A plus in my book would be to ditch the Banksy treatment entirely. Wishful thinking I know.
