Disney Parks Debut Star Wars Life Day Merchandise and Batuu Adventure Buddies Collection

Disney is celebrating Star Wars Life Day 2026 with a series of special edition merchandise releases alongside the arrival of the complete collection of Batuu Adventure Buddies at the parks. Life Day falls on November 17, marking the annual anniversary of the fictional Wookiee holiday introduced in the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special.

Leading up to the holiday, DisneyStore.com hosted a daily countdown from November 13 through November 16 to reveal new products launching online and at Disney Parks. Several previewed items become available on November 17. The Ezra Legacy Lightsaber Set features two hilts inspired by Star Wars Rebels character Ezra Bridger, which individually illuminate in green and blue when attached to separately sold blades and come in an illustrated box that plays scenes from the show. Also launching on November 17 is the K-2SO Premium Electronic Head from the Galactic Archive Series, featuring movie-accurate phrases, lights, and sounds in honor of the 10th anniversary of Rogue One, alongside an adult-sized Mandalorian Super Commando Helmet with horns, black and red detailing, and voice-changing effects. Additionally, a 1:1 scale Hasbro Ultimate Grogu Animatronic with moving arms, legs, ears, and three play modes becomes available for online pre-order on November 17, with a scheduled arrival at Disney Parks in spring 2027.

Meanwhile, fans visiting Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge can purchase the full set of interactive Batuu Adventure Buddies starting November 17. While an initial Ewok toy debuted at Disneyland Resort back in August, the complete collection now expands to both Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort. Guests visiting Droid Depot in both destinations can choose from an Ewok, a Huttlet, or Grogu.

Crafted in story by a crew of Anzellan manufacturers, these interactive companions feature expressive LCD eyes, motorized facial expressions, and signature sounds such as giggles, laughs, and chatter. Each toy can react to tap commands, interact with other droids sold at Droid Depot, and communicate with nearby buddies through features like the Endor Dance Party or Forest Call Chain. Guests can also purchase themed gear sets, including Endor, Mandalore, and Batuu packs, which connect to the toy’s left hand to trigger additional animations and sounds. Cast members help guests select their companion and accessories at Droid Depot before guiding them through an activation moment.

Guests purchasing the interactive companions at Disney’s Hollywood Studios must utilize a virtual queue. The virtual queue opens at 7:00 a.m. EST and 1:00 p.m. EST via the My Disney Experience app for guests with valid theme park admission. Parties are limited to two guests, and a standby line will not be available while the virtual queue is in use. Joining the virtual queue does not guarantee the ability to purchase.
