Where you can find the droids, aliens, creatures in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
A large part of the Star Wars universe is the variety of space pirates, chatty droids and cuddly aliens.
Those visiting Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, both at Disneyland and Hollywood Studios, may discover the presence of creatures and droids who call the planet Batuu home – some in merchant stalls, some in attractions and some as Audio-Animatronics figures.
Here are the various characters and where you will be able to find them.

Hondo founded Ohnaka Transport Solutions, which operates out of Black Spire Outpost and specializes in acquiring or delivering restricted items.
