After an influx of releases in the Disney Parks Droid Factory line over the past few weeks and months, here’s a round of them and where you can get them.
SK-620 – This R-series astromech with blue, white and orange colours is the Cruise Director’s friendly and trusty assistant on the Halcyon Starcruiser. This droid is sold exclusively at Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser at Walt Disney World.
R7-TNO – This R7-series astromech droid sports a yellow, blue and white colour scheme inspired by Ahsoka Tano (though canonically does not seem to be connected to her in any way).
The bio on the card back reveals this droid is optimized to function among the local artisans of the idyllic and lush world of Kiros which first appeared in the comic series Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Slaves of the Republic by Dark Horse Comics and would later go on to be adapted as an arc in The Clone Wars animated series.
This droid debuted at Celebration Anaheim 2022 and was available at Disneyland Anaheim within hours of that but hasn’t been available at any other Disney Parks.
