The Ewok, Grogu and Huttlet toys hit Droid Depot at Disney's Hollywood Studios on Tuesday, Nov. 17, behind a virtual queue capped at two guests per party. Hasbro's $599.99 Ultimate Grogu opens for preorder on DisneyStore.com the same morning.
Star Wars Life Day lands on Tuesday, Nov. 17, and Disney is treating the Wookiee holiday like a shopping holiday. Chewbacca would want you to have nice things.
The big one for Florida families: all three Batuu Adventure Buddies, the Ewok, Grogu and Huttlet, go on sale at Droid Depot in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disney's Hollywood Studios that day, BlogMickey reported Friday.
You'll need a virtual queue spot to shop. Requests open at 7 a.m. ET, or at 1 p.m. ET once you're inside the park, and each party is capped at two guests.
Disney's fine print, via BlogMickey: "Entering the virtual queue does not guarantee the ability to purchase." So a boarding group gets you in the door, not necessarily a Grogu.
How does the Batuu Adventure Buddies virtual queue work?
Here are the rules Disney lists for Hollywood Studios:
Park ticket required: You need valid theme park admission.
Two join times: 7 a.m. ET, or 1 p.m. ET after you enter the park.
Party size: Two guests, max.
No standby: There's no regular line while the virtual queue runs, though one may open after Disney calls every boarding group.
Prices for the Buddies and their gear sets aren't posted yet. Disney also hasn't said how long the virtual queue will stay in place after opening day.
Each Buddy has LCD eyes, moving facial expressions and a mix of sounds. Accessories and gear sets cost extra, because of course they do.
What are the Batuu Adventure Buddies?
They're interactive companions sold at Droid Depot, the build-your-own-droid shop in Galaxy's Edge. The Ewok came first, debuting at Disneyland on Aug. 13. Tap its head or belly and it reacts, and it even responds to other Droid Depot toys.
When the Ewok launched, Disney said the full collection would eventually reach Walt Disney World. Nov. 17 is that day, and Florida gets all three at once.
The Ewok has already picked up some hardware, too. It won a Toy Innovator of the Year award earlier this week.
What Star Wars Life Day merch is coming to DisneyStore.com?
DisneyStore.com is running a daily reveal countdown at 8 a.m. PT from Nov. 13 through Nov. 16: lightsabers Friday, the Galactic Archive Series Saturday, Hasbro Sunday and "fan favorites" Monday. Disney has previewed one item from each day.
Three of them go on sale Nov. 17 at 8 a.m. PT (11 a.m. ET) online, and at Disney Parks shops during regular hours the same day:
Ezra Legacy Lightsaber Set (limited edition): Two hilts inspired by Ezra Bridger from Star Wars Rebels. They light up green and blue once blades are attached, and the blades are sold separately.
K-2SO Premium Electronic Head: A Galactic Archive Series replica of the Rogue One droid, with lights, sounds and movie-accurate phrases. It arrives ahead of the movie's 10th anniversary.
Mandalorian Super Commando Helmet for adults: Horns on top, black and red detailing, voice-changing effects and character phrases. It's for the Maul loyalists.
Disney hasn't posted prices for any of them, and it hasn't said which park shops will stock them.
How much is the Ultimate Grogu animatronic?
The fourth preview item is Hasbro's Ultimate Grogu, which Disney calls "a 1:1 first of its kind animatronic." Preorders open on DisneyStore.com Nov. 17 at 8 a.m. PT. Disney Parks won't carry him until spring 2027.
Disney hasn't listed a price. Hasbro has been taking preorders on Hasbro Pulse since spring at $599.99, Attractions Magazine reported in May, with standard boxes shipping around April 1, 2027.
That money gets you more than 250 animations and sounds, blinking eyes, moving ears and arms, three play modes and a cookie accessory. He stands 14.6 inches tall and runs on four D-cell batteries or USB-C.
Hasbro also sold a limited First Edition with special packaging and a collector card, set to ship in late 2026.
What is Life Day?
Life Day first appeared in the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special as a Wookiee celebration of family, harmony and joy. Disney now marks Nov. 17 every year with a batch of collectibles at DisneyStore.com and in the parks.
Hollywood Studios is already in the spirit, too. Its Life Day Wookiee Cookie is on the menu for the season.
