Although it is a store, not a ride, Droid Depot is listed among the four attractions at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. This is because it is more than your ordinary shopping experience. Although it does have a regular souvenir display area for grab-and-go items, it also features an interactive "build your own droid" component that fans have been eagerly lining up for. For $100 (plus tax, no Annual Passholder discounts), guests can customize a miniature version of a R- or BB- unit in their own style. Different colors, component pieces, and functions lend themselves to tens of thousands of combinations. It's a fun experience that results in a [probably] one-of-a-kind keepsake, and one of the many really neat experiences that are part of Galaxy's Edge.

| Welcome to the Droid Depot! |
 |
| Here's the line to customize your own droid! |
 |
| A conveyor line above pulls along a medley of droid parts. |
 |
| It feels a bit like the queue from Star Tours. |
 |
| The look is appropriately gritty and industrial. |
 |
| These parts are a little more complicated than what guests will construct. |
 |
| A display shows full sized versions of different R- and BB- units. |
 |
| Meanwhile, down at counter height, a conveyor belt provides a variety of droid parts for guests to choose from. |
 |
| Look at all the different combinations! |
 |
| After choosing their parts, guests go these little booths to assemble and activate them. |
 |
| Pay here. |
 |
| And wealthy Star Wars fans can even buy a life-size, controllable R2-D2 model for $25,000! (plus tax) |
