Although the timeline for Disney’s integration of its latest robot technology into theme parks remains uncertain, Disneyland visitors were treated to a trial run in October 2023 at Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge.
This technology fulfills the potential and promise guests expected from the immersive land when Disney revealed a Star Wars-themed area of theme parks. Free-roaming droids will certainly add to the authenticity of the experience and bring guests one step closer to living their Star Wars fantasy at Disney Parks.
