The Star Wars universe at Disney Parks is about to get even more immersive with the arrival of BDX droids, set to debut later this year at Walt Disney World, Disneyland Paris, and Tokyo Disney Resort. These free-roaming droids will introduce an unprecedented level of interactive storytelling, allowing guests to experience a more dynamic and responsive Star Wars environment.
What Are BDX Droids?
The BDX droids are part of Disney’s ongoing advancements in animatronic and AI-driven technology. Unlike stationary figures or pre-scheduled character meet-and-greets, these droids will move freely throughout the parks, interacting with guests in real-time. With lifelike movement, expressive responses, and the ability to react to their surroundings, each interaction will feel unique—further immersing visitors in the world of Star Wars.
While specific details are still under wraps, fans expect to see these droids in:
- Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland Paris and Walt Disney World’s Hollywood Studios
- Tomorrowland at Tokyo Disneyland, a likely location given its history with Star Wars-themed attractions
The BDX droids are expected to play a role in enhancing the Star Wars experience, possibly interacting with guests, reacting to conversations, or even “patrolling” as if they were part of the universe itself.
Bringing Star Wars to Life Like Never Before
Disney has previously tested interactive robotic characters, but this addition will certainly be unlike anything guests have seen before. The addition of the BDX droids suggests a broader shift toward real-time, AI-powered character experiences, further blurring the line between fantasy and reality.
Fans of Star Wars have long dreamed of a park experience where they could truly step into the galaxy far, far away. The BDX droids could mark the beginning of a new generation of interactive characters, making the parks feel even more like a living Star Wars adventure.
