The Villain night gets wrapped up with a great show hosted by Hades himself.  The Villains come out and take over Cinderella's Castle.  Each one of them vies for control of the Castle to take control of the kingdom.  The lighting effects and acting are phenomenal.  You really want to stick around to see this show.  We also get an additional fireworks finale!

If you can squeeze this event around a rest day at the resorts, it can be a great use of your time.  Magic Kingdom often takes two days to fully explore, but the after hours events lets you enjoy all the rides without the wait times.  It could even save you a day at the parks.  You could do Epcot or Animal Kingdom till 6pm and then make your way to Villain Night.  All without having to have park hopper tickets or use an additional day at the parks.

My family loved this experience and I think yours will too!  We did every single ride and even got to ride some of our favorite rides 3 times that night.

This isn't Moss Eisley!  This is Batuu baby! 
Like everything new and wonderful in Galaxy's Edge, the cantina had a line wrapped around the building.  Reservations can be booked in advance and we were fortunate enough to grab our reservations as soon as they opened up.
Once in the cantina, it's an immersive experience.  I had wished for some aliens walking around but alas, just us humanoids.  When you do get in, you are escorted to a space for you to stand.  Yes, stand!  The cantina has very limited space, so there is no sitting around here.
​

Angie order a Fuzzy Tauntaun, which was a tangy citrus drink topped with foam.  The foam has a numbing quality.  It literally numbs the mouth a bit.  I had to have the decorative Endor cup, so I ordered the Yub Nub, which was a nice tropical punch.   The cup set me back 45 credits, but it's very detailed.  I was given a fresh clean cup in a box to take home when I was done.
​Angie order a Rodian Ration, which was not at all what I had expected.  This was more of a jello shot served in a petry dish with mini spoons.  It had quite the kick, while tasting very interesting with popping pearls and something akin to pop rocks...
We also snacked on some Batuu Bits, which were a variety of chips made from unconventional veggies.  They were tasty with the provided salsa while we waited for our libations.

Once you've made your way through the line and paid your galactic credits at the register.  You are handed the corresponding tray for your droid.  It does simplify things a bit to see what pieces you need to pick up.  They eliminate a lot of the confusion, but even if you do feel lost their are assistants walking the depot to answer your questions.
You are assigned a spot near the conveyor belt of pieces.  The droid parts do go by at a decent speed, but are easy enough to snag as they pass.  Each droid has their base options of colors.  R units are black, white, red, and blue with the accent colors of purple and orange on some parts.  While the BB units cam in the same colors but had purple as a base color.

Once you've got all your parts you are ushered over to the assembly station.  Hanging over head you have a handy power screwdriver to help with the couple of bolts that need tightening.  Overall assembling goes pretty smoothly as you snap some pieces in and screw down others.  And Voila!  You have a droid assembled and ready to be activated.  The assistants will pop your droid into the activation chamber, you press the big red button and HE'S ALIVE!!!

Here are our droids with custom panels and stickers.  Angie's R8R8, because he alright alright alright.  And my droid RUOK, the medic droid.  Each droid will cost you 100 credits, while accessories will range from 12 to 25.  Sticker packs, panels, and personality chips were all about 12 credits.

If you've been to Hogwarts to get wand, it is magical, but only one person gets to be the center of attention.  At Savi's you feel like a jedi of old, because we all get to have the same AWESOME experience, but this is not a cheap thrill!  Custom sabers at Savi's run 200 credits plus tax.  So, expect to pay roughly $225 for a very awesome new toy.  It was worth the experience for me!  I would probably build another saber on my next visit.  I couldn't think of spending that kind of money for each of my children, though I saw plenty of families building sabers together.

If your child really wants to be able to take home a custom saber, there are alternatives.   There are three locations where a fully plastic custom saber can be built while visiting Walt Disney World.  In Disney Springs you can find the Build-a-Saber at the Star Wars Trading Post.  While visiting Disney's Hollywood Studios you can also build sabers at the shop at the end of Star Tours or alternatively at the Star Wars Launch Bay.  These sabers run from $25 to $50 depending on whether you build a single or double saber.  It can't compare to what you get from Savi's, but its a saber on a budget for the kids.
