A Walk on the Dark Side

, 5 Comments on A Walk on the Dark Side

Last week my friend Solanah (some of you long time readers may remember her from my old days in Portland) came to visit to spend a couple days at Disneyland, and our friend Brittany joined us. Prior to the visit we all decided to wear flowing red ensembles to Disneybound as the Emperor’s Royal Guards from Return of the Jedi, but also took inspiration from the Elite Praetorian Guard from The Last Jedi. However, together many people thought we were bounding as the Nightsisters, from the Clone Wars show. Which, wasn’t really an insult.

The trio of us wearing our red ensembles walking toward the camera.

Myself wearing a full length red gown, it is asymmetrical with one shoulder ending in a short cape. A corset style belt at my waist, and a black crescent moon brooch at the shoulder.

A red and black First Order banner hangs from a grey building with a domed roof.

Solanah wears a crimson hooded robe with a double buckled belt.

Rock spires stretch toward a blue sky. A small dwelling is nestled in the rocks.

Various droid parts hang on a rack.

Brittany wears a sheer crimson dress with a corset belt. Her dress ends at her mid calf and wears black boots.

Inside the antiquities shop. Various artifacts hang on the wall, a massive chandelier hangs from the ceiling.

One of the amazing things about Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is Savi’s Workshop, a place where Guests can build their very own custom lightsabers. Solanah and Brittany made a pair, however I, as I’m more of a prop geek, opted to purchase a replica of Darth Vader’s lightsaber. High-quality, metal replicas of various characters’ lightsabers are available inside Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities, among many other high-quality replica items. It should be noted that the lightsabers of Savi’s Workshop are high-quality, metal lightsabers that feature a removable blade, not a collapsable one, and currently cost $199.99. Additionally, reservations are highly recommended. If $200 is a little out of your price range, Tomorrowland’s Star Trader offers a build-your-own lightsaber station, with plastic lightsabers featuring collapsable blades for a significantly lower price.

Brittany with her blue light saber holds it near the camera, while Solanah and I with our red lightsabers stand, almost ready to strike in the background.

    • Thanks! We had some people sneak some photos of us, but we had one dad who knew what we were bounding as and his kid was planning on going as a Royal Guard for Halloween and asked to take our picture.
