I think having a droid go along with your Jedi cosplay would be really cool. there are quite a few Jedi in the new continuity that carry around small droids with them like Cal Kestis from the new Jedi Fallen Order game.
It was a cool experience. Both my daughters got one. One built an R unit and built an BB unit she calls BUD-E. One got a Resistance personality chip and the other got a Smuggler chip. Then I went next door and built a lightsaber, so it was not a cheap trip.
I have two so far one R unit and one BB. I absolutely love them and love bringing them back to Batuu east. Planning to get more. I love building and painting to truly make them my own.
Great Video! U inspired me to get this droid. Love the work that u put in to this video! Keep on doing the good work! Your my favorite Star Wars you tuber
Husband built a BB unit the other day at Eastern Batuu. We had fun picking the parts and the quality is excellent for $99.99 considering that it is at least what you would have paid for the little BB unit made by Sphero. There is no AP discount so we paid $106.49 with tax. We added a red First Order personality chip for $14.99 ($12.77 with AP discount) additionally because we liked the sound effects it made. You can test out the sounds at the personality chip display. Unfortunately, there aren’t any additional stickers and accessories for the BB units. Well worth the cost.
I have to admit. I was the least sold on the droid building thing. Mostly due to the lack of post-GE value, in my opinion. It was really seeing how Dan-O uses his droids as part of his channel that I realize it’s worth it if you use them. I’m planning on launching a Jedi-related channel soon, and I am playing with how I’d incorporate some sort of droid interaction. But honestly, even as a giant droid action figure, I guess it’s worth $100. Seems like a good quality made product. Personally, I’d like to see you build a droid to see what kind of droid you’d build. Would you build one in a style that compliments your recent Jedi garb? Or would you make it all black and insert a black crystal into its personality matrix that it would only serve the purposes of evil. Anyway I’m curious what you’d build. What sort of droid defines me as a person? That’s a Star Wars Fight Club reference! Lol!
Awesome review! I was just at Galaxy's edge yesterday in Orlando. I also got Obi-Wan's legacy lightsaber! I was able to make a decision based on your review. Very light and feels perfect.
I absolutely agree that all parts should be available! I want a certain color scheme. I'm not the one the one going though. So it is going to cause anxiety with the person I asked to build me one in my color scheme if all the parts in that color are not there!
Disney Hollywood studios at Paris going to get huge makeover that will include marvel attractions and Star Wars attractions but I don’t sure if they will build galaxy’s edge. Just the Hollywood studios will be closed for refurbishment I think on December and will be open back on 2021
About the backpack, the chain is indispensable for the BB, would’ve lost my daughter’s BB head 100 times. Not sure how long the chain will last, but good design to start out with. It was fun to bring our droids back to GE on day 2, people really seemed to love watching them turn on & talk randomly, adding to everyone’s experience. Most people agree Disney could have added a bit more fun to Batuu, so folks with talking droids, creatures on shoulders, that sort of thing, seems to add to the ambiance. Anyway, bottom line we had a great time building and playing around with our droids. Dan-O pointed out it’s possible to take out the foam core of the bag & use it as a normal backpack. Not sure about getting it back in 😉 I’d love to see what folks do for other backpack designs. (Yes Disney, keep all pieces in stock! It’s only fair..)
I hope to see new colors and options available. I have the sphero R2Q5 and R2D2 so i would like to have an IG88 or battle droid or something like that.
the one thing I would love you to have a look at is the Palpatine walking stick. is this something you would do? or even just a little information on it
I was actually really surprised about the amount of products they had in stock at Galaxy's Edge WDW last week. Most of the droid products were there. Even the kyber crystals were pretty much all available at Dok's.
I built a black r2 model with transparent top around 11 PM on a Friday before Christmas, they had all or most of the different colored and transparent parts for both droids. Dont worry and good luck.
Love all the reviews you've done, but I have to ask, have you gotten the Resistance Pilot uniform and helmet? No one's done a review of those items or the first order officer uniform they offered when the California park opened.
Damn cuz I'm going the in the next 3 days and building a lightsaber but couldn't choose out of 2 pieces but now I've made my decision. I'll be doing elemental nature
SirJames, do you happen to know why Disney didn't include the C1 droid (Rebels' Chopper) in the Droid Depot? So far, that's the only thing I've seen in the numerous vids of Galaxy's Edge that disappoints.
Pangaea Writer Personally, I believe it’s due to the C1 having a different body and legs; all the R droids just have different heads, while the C1 has a shorter body, a wheel and shorter main legs. So it wouldn’t be uniform or compatible with the R, and a doubt they’d make a whole new type for essentially a smaller R.
@@JosephDMyt I see the C1 droids as sufficiently different from R series to justify adding them to the lineup. They aren't just a smaller R series. The body is bulkier, torso features are notably different, not to mention the McQuarrie style antenna on its dome.
Anyone else having trouble with their kyber Crystal I got a purple one and idk what happened with the coding in it but mine started to turn more red and occasionally turns completely red just wondering
What colour and style options are there I would love to see a video if possible where you can show every available option pictures of fine I don't expect you to buy every single thing 🤣
if you have two or more droids, turn them on one after another and leave them alone. they will continue to talk every couple minutes without going to sleep mode.
@@SirJamesIGamerfuzion No you can't, the listing is for a "Life-Size Custom Astromech" even if the listing isn't a joke, the r2 itself isn't purchasable, it's just a display model
It is too loud to hear the droids in Galaxy's Edge. I knew mine was going only because I was sitting right next to it. It will also start reacting in the Star Tours gift shop register areas. The default box that you get has no support for the droids, they just roll and hang around in there. The backpack is at it's best, clearly, in the park. Outside, not so much, especially for the $50 price tag. Also, the cardboard box is too tall for bb series to be seen. My son's could barely bee seen. Is it worth owning a droid? Absolutely, yes! It you have any sort of passion for either type of droid, it becomes well worth it.
Great Vid Sir James. If anyone is interested in weathering or further customizing their droids lookup “Mubo’s Droid Builders Club” on Instagram and Facebook.
Your little brother built one of the nicest droids I've seen yet.
Thank you for the nice commet
You are absolutely right other's are just like toys or something but this looks like a nicely done droid
7:43 That symbol is associated with Smugglers.
You need to put an antenna on that droid. Throughout the video there’s a wire behind it that looks like an antenna and it looks so so good
Necronoid 24 I saw it too! 😂🤙🏽
Sameeee
Necronoid 24 I saw it too! 😂🤙🏽
I got a BB unit. Fun experience, quality product, and totally worth the price.
I think having a droid go along with your Jedi cosplay would be really cool. there are quite a few Jedi in the new continuity that carry around small droids with them like Cal Kestis from the new Jedi Fallen Order game.
I wish we could build a droid like Cal. I love that little droid
Awesome as always, I don’t get to go until fall 2021 so these videos keep me going
It was a cool experience. Both my daughters got one. One built an R unit and built an BB unit she calls BUD-E. One got a Resistance personality chip and the other got a Smuggler chip. Then I went next door and built a lightsaber, so it was not a cheap trip.
That's the smuggler faction and I found its easier to remove the chip if you remove the panel door
I have two so far one R unit and one BB. I absolutely love them and love bringing them back to Batuu east. Planning to get more. I love building and painting to truly make them my own.
Great Video! U inspired me to get this droid. Love the work that u put in to this video! Keep on doing the good work! Your my favorite Star Wars you tuber
Honestly never wanted to build a droid. Was never a thing. But after watching this I’m kinda changing my mind. These are pretty dope!

Nice droid im going in January 2020. I can't wait.
I have to ask do you think Disney will make new light sabers?
That chip symbol is smuggler. Love the video.

It took a year but I finally got a Droid built

Do you know when Star Wars at Disney Paris will be released?
no idea
Disney Hollywood studios at Paris going to get huge makeover that will include marvel attractions and Star Wars attractions but I don’t sure if they will build galaxy’s edge.
Just the Hollywood studios will be closed for refurbishment I think on December and will be open back on 2021
The Disney studios expansion opens in 2024 which will include a Star Wars galaxy edge land
Jack Norton it’s aldready in but like no lightsabers or droids
You gotta go with the R2! I love your droid. Im getting one the next time I go. I already got the lightsaber so thats next up on my list

7:41 Silver and purple are smugglers type chips.
It looks really good hope it comes to Disney land Paris soon. As I from the uk. Really cant wait to build my own lightsaber
Darren Rivers I don’t think it will because there is not enough space
I'm going in April so exited😁
My birthday is in April
Makko Playz mine is april 29th
Having a droid is like having a companion
I was actually really surprised about the amount of products they had in stock at Galaxy's Edge WDW last week. Most of the droid products were there. Even the kyber crystals were pretty much all available at Dok's.
Thats a good looking droid, nice colors
Kind of both you say? Sounds like a grey Jedi... *I am the guardian of balance...*
Love the shirt,keep up the good work
Bright suns Sir James!
I am planning to build a droid in the evening, do droid parts sell out? (not counting chips or add-ons)
Thanks! :D
depends
Yes. I’m going Sunday and I HOPE the black parts for a r2 series droid
I built a black r2 model with transparent top around 11 PM on a Friday before Christmas, they had all or most of the different colored and transparent parts for both droids. Dont worry and good luck.
Yes heee did a good job and I actually like the color scheme.
Great video, nice work😉
So I have one too. My question is does the top light every night up. The big one on.
Love all the reviews you've done, but I have to ask, have you gotten the Resistance Pilot uniform and helmet? No one's done a review of those items or the first order officer uniform they offered when the California park opened.
how did he outline the decals in red
You welcome for the droid brother
Is wood and tile good surface for droids? And also is it worth it buying another droid since I already have a bb 8 unit?
Hey James r u able to buy individual scrap metal now at Disney
Nope
Damn cuz I'm going the in the next 3 days and building a lightsaber but couldn't choose out of 2 pieces but now I've made my decision. I'll be doing elemental nature
Btw will u be going in the next 3 days
Would love to meet you
going on the 28th
Do you know if you can buy the extra plates and the personality chip before you build the droid and add them when you build it?
Yes you're able to do that
@@IncubusIncarnon thanks
yep

Good vids bro!
They should design more with the C series droid and make them avaleble in the Droid Depod.
Love all the content. Thank you!
I like the color scheme, very First Order.
Thank you
Is there a sub reddet that shows of there customizing of a droid
Never used or been on Reddit so I'm unsure
If i had a droid it would be a BB unit but the primary color would be tan and the secondary would he brown with yellow lights
I'm going full blown nerd here, but with that head the astromech would be an R6 series droid. Not an R2.
The R6 series has a shallow cone that comes to a point on top. This looks like an R0, which is almost identical except for a completely flat top.
Went to Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland this past Monday. Had a great time! All your videos and lightsaber reviews were extremely helpful in our planning!
I would love to build one , particularly an R4 unit but i wont be going for a few years
Anyone else having trouble with their kyber Crystal I got a purple one and idk what happened with the coding in it but mine started to turn more red and occasionally turns completely red just wondering
The purple personality ship is a smuggler chip.
Watching you and the Dan-o channel make me want to make a droid call it, G0-ku or Goku and make it blue and orange
Forgot about the gun set and bar set. Think I play with my R2 more than my saber
I mentioned there was a few accessories and only had some to showcase :)
I am now saying hello to the person over there
9:58 kinda sounds like he's broken.
Hello! 50th Like :) #notification Squad. also your voice is so relaxing :)
What colour and style options are there I would love to see a video if possible where you can show every available option pictures of fine I don't expect you to buy every single thing 🤣
I wish the heads turned 360°. Could get even more expression out of them
Use tweezers to remove personality chip
I’m pretty sure that the purple personality chip is smuggler
if you have two or more droids, turn them on one after another and leave them alone. they will continue to talk every couple minutes without going to sleep mode.
Do you live in disney land? Cuz you make a lot of vids on galaxy's edge vids. What's the rent like?
Or I just have a pass and live 25 min away
SirJames I Gamerfuzion you’re lucky I live a hour away!
Is it possible to name your custom droid with any alphabet letter?
You know anyone who goes to Disneyland often enough that could pick up personality chips and Khyber Crystals? Willing to pay for them and shipping.
I really want to get one I would call it R2-U7
I like the droid, it would be cool but I think I’m just gonna stock with a lightsaber
I just wanted to point out that the life size R2 isn't actually purchasable, it's just a very convincing joke.
ummmm yes it is you can legit buy it
@@SirJamesIGamerfuzion No you can't, the listing is for a "Life-Size Custom Astromech" even if the listing isn't a joke, the r2 itself isn't purchasable, it's just a display model
People have bought it 😂
Smuggler is the faction.
It ne great if they have the green r2
That droid is actually an R6
That is so cool.

Hello there
tbone1503 General Kenobi
Is that an R6?
Can anyone tell me
Its actually a r6 unit
I want money
Work
But I'm not 16
Great Vid Sir James. If anyone is interested in weathering or further customizing their droids lookup “Mubo’s Droid Builders Club” on Instagram and Facebook.
Purple chip is smuggler
hello
Hi
Did he say $25,000 for a life size R2!? 😱
Yup
Pls don’t do the background music again😂
why can hardly hear it
Don’t listen to emoji boy. I liked the music!
THATS NOT AN R2 ITS AN R6 FIX YOUR TITLE
Why are you yelling ? That's what they called it at Galaxys edge so the title stays
Sorry I had the caps lock on, also if that’s true then why does the box say “Custom Astromech”
Lol
R6
