I just watched a short video of a look around Batuu at Disney World. The place looks good and is probably a lot of fun. I know that there is no way to get a full sized R unit, but an R2-D2 made of plastic only 15"(+/-) tall seems too much like a toy. I don't know the cost, but according to the reporter, a lightsaber you make yourself costs $200 bucks.
They showed the reporter on the Millennium Falcon ride(?). There are six people in a box, two pilots with two gunners behind them and two engineers behind them. They all push buttons and pull levers as the action appears on the screen seen through the Falcons windshield. Not sure how much all the pushing and pulling actually affects the outcome, but at least in our game, what we do won't make a difference either. :D
Droids are $99, I think? The lightsabers aren't too bad a price, given that Ultrasabers tend to run $150 on average with lights and basic sound, andnthen all the extra add-ons start running up from there. I think my Dark Initiate v4 from ultrasabers was $160, base price, and then I added windowed emitters, an ultragrade combat-heavy blade (plus an add-on cost for choosing amethyst-purple as the blade color). I think i also added flash on clash and clash-sounds. Probably spent close to $200 when all ws said and done. I got my Archeon v2 (which is basically Luke's lightsaber) with a Sunrider's Destiny turquoise-green blade color, and that also has flash on clash and lights and sound for probably the same amount. All my other ones are just stunts (lighted blade, but no sound) which will really come in handy if my friends ever get that approval for a chapter of Saber Guild going here (yay, lightsaber fighting!) And Ultrasabers are lower end combat-ready lightsabers. Ones like Vaders' Vault usually run to $300 base price.
And I didn't even get the unique experience of putting the thing together the way you do at Galaxy's Edge.
