A Long Time Ago, in a Park Not So Far Away…
If you thought Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios was just about riding Star Wars rides, sipping blue milk and dodging stormtroopers, think again. This outpost on Batuu is brimming with secrets more hidden than the plans to the Death Star; a treasure trove of Easter eggs that would make even a scruffy-looking smuggler do a double take. From micro-sized spaceships to a massive Disney character reference hidden in plain sight, let’s explore!
— Inside the Millennium Falcon from Smugglers Run
Cantina Cutie
As you approach Oga’s Cantina from the East end (where you’ll find the TIE Echelon spaceship and First Order Cargo), take a look at the Cantina’s building and entrance area. See anything familiar? Focus on the blue banner hanging down and see what you can gather…
The building itself is one adorable Donald Duck head! The rooftop makes up his sailor hat, complete with the blue banner becoming the hat’s ribbon. Both of his eyes are perfectly round circles imprinted onto the building’s side, and his beak is the awning just over the Cantina’s main door. See it now?
This is probably the cutest detail in all of Batuu. Then again, wait until you see the next one…
Mini Millennium Falcon
This next hidden detail will take an eagle’s eye to spot naturally. Next time you’re hanging around this big ol’ hunk of junk during the day, try and spot the baby Millennium Falcon on the life-size Millennium Falcon!
Just below the left side, inspect the pipes along the underside of the cockpit.
It may take some maneuvering around to get the perfect vantage point, but once you spot it, it’s tough to miss that iconic shape. This is a real fun one show your family and friends!
Right Legs for the East Coast
Droid Depot is the place to be for all of your droid-building needs, in addition to droid-themed toys and housewares. But did you know about this fun detail just for the East coast?
Within the depot’s factory area, in addition to some torsos, you’ll only find right-sided droid limbs hanging from the upper conveyer system. This represents ‘Batuu East’ in Orlando, Florida, while ‘Batuu West’ in Anaheim, California presumably has the left ones!
Have you discovered these gems before? I’d love to know any others I may be missing! Keep an eye out for these and other hidden details on your next visit to Walt Disney World!
