THE ALIENS, DROIDS, AND SHOPS OF STAR WARS: GALAXY’S EDGE







This article focuses on the different characters and creatures you will find within Galaxy’s Edge while also mentioning some of the merchandise that you will be able to take home with you.



A fully realized animatronic figure of Hondo Ohnaka will be on hand to prep you for your mission on Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run, but he is not the only animatronic alien you will come across. An Ithorian by the name of Dak-Ondar will run a Black Market where you will be able to barter and haggle with him for items. And Rex (of Original Star Tours fame) will be running his DJ setup in the cantina.
