What’s New in Disney’s Hollywood Studios: A Missing Animatronic and ‘Star Wars’ Collectibles

Really missing a stroll through Disney’s Hollywood Studios?

Hollywood Studios

Well, this week we spotted a lot of new things in the park — from food to construction to merchandise — and we’re excited to share all our findings with you! So take a virtual stroll through Hollywood Studios with us as we share everything you missed if you didn’t get the chance to stop by. 

Hollywood Studios Construction Updates

Sunset Club Couture

Over on Sunset Boulevard, Sunset Club Couture is getting some minor updates. We’ve started to see the exterior get a fresh paint job, and this week, it was half light blue and half dark blue on one of the days that we stopped by.

Just a minor construction project.

Usually, these painting jobs go pretty quickly, so this construction probably won’t last long. Currently, it’s not affecting guests in any way, as the store remains open during the daytime. 

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge

Over in Galaxy’s Edge, they’re gearing up for the arrival of the first groups from the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hotel. At the entrance specifically for the hotel guests, we’ve seen various changes over the last few weeks, and a few days ago, new flags went up.

New decorations preparing for the Starcruiser!

They just seem to be here to add a little extra decoration to the otherwise plain arch, but we’ll keep checking back to see if anything else gets changed. The Starcruiser officially opens on March 1st, so the first group from the hotel will arrive in Galaxy’s Edge on March 2nd. 

Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities

And right around the corner at Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities, we noticed that the Dok-Ondar animatronic was still missing. There’s a curtain covering up the “cage” where he usually sits, running his store and glancing around at guests.

Where’d he go?

This curtain has been here for quite a few days now, but it isn’t unusual for this animatronic to get regular maintenance. We hope he comes back soon, though — he’s one of the best parts of the shop!

Hollywood Studios Merchandise Updates

Keystone Clothiers

And speaking of Star Wars, let’s head back to the front of the park to check out some new merchandise! Here, one of the coolest lightsabers in the galaxy is now available to purchase — the one that first belongs to Ezra Bridger in Star Wars: Rebels.

It’s a seriously cool lightsaber.

In the show, the lightsaber serves double use as both a saber and a blaster, and the unique design will be a fun addition to your collection of Star Wars memorabilia. Pick one up for $29.99.

Legends of Hollywood

Calling all Marvel fans — we found the perfect gift for you! Over at Legends of Hollywood, you’ll find a bunch of interesting and exclusive Pandora charms, and this week, we got a few new designs inspired by The Avengers.

New Marvel Pandora charms are now available.

Several new charms are now available in the shop, each inspired by different Marvel movies and characters. There’s everything from Thanos’s gauntlet to Black Panther to Cap’s shield!

Rock Around the Shop

At the exit to Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, you’ll find the Rock Around the Shop store, and it’s home to one of Disney World’s many MADE kiosks. These machines often have a variety of different souvenirs that guests can customize with different text and patterns, and this week, we spotted a new design.

A new magnet to customize!

This Passholder-exclusive castle magnet is the perfect way to commemorate your visit during The World’s Most Magical Celebration, and you can even customize it with your name!

Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities

We’ve seen some pretty heavy crowds in the theme parks the past few weeks, and because of that, we noticed Disney doing something they haven’t done in a while. Over at Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities, the virtual queue was back for viewing and purchasing Legacy Lightsabers!

Look out for the signs to put your name in the queue.

We’ve seen this queue used before, but it has been a while since it was necessary. If you’re visiting soon, just look out for the sign in front of the shop and it will provide you with the instructions you need to put your name in the queue.

First Order Cargo

At First Order Cargo, there was a new piece of artwork for sale. The “Enlist Today” poster was on display, and we were a little shocked when we glanced at the price tag…a whopping $125!

That’s one pricey poster!

If you’re really dedicated to Kylo Ren and the First Order, you can pick up this art and add it to your collection. And while you’re at it, make sure to check out some of the other particularly pricey items in Galaxy’s Edge! (There are quite a few of them, actually!)

Tatooine Traders

With The Book of Boba Fett having just premiered its finale, Star Wars TV shows and characters are very popular right now! So when we spotted this new Din Djarin The Mandalorian action figure in Tatooine Traders, we weren’t surprised.

A new Mandalorian action figure is here!

He’s part of the Power Force collection, and right now you can get him for $32.99.

That’s everything new we found in Disney’s Hollywood Studios this week! Stay tuned to DFB for more news and updates live from Disney World.
