Is that a good idea, or is there another option that works better? If you had a backpack, what do I do with the backpack, say somewhere like SDD during the ride?
We got these, and put Star Wars patches and various buttons all over them. It’s a relatively small backpack (good for kids), with a padded bottom. And you can zip down and tuck the upper flap so the droid can “see out.” Worked great for both droid types (YDS with BB type on left, MDS with R type on right).
If you wanted to build two custom ones, you will need to book two sessions at the Droid Depot. I think the whole process took us about 15 minutes. Longest part was just in deciding what the Droid would look like and finding the correct parts. The actual assembly is fairly quick.
You also just buy premade ones if you aren’t picky about how they look.
There are personality chips you can buy, which just changes the style of the sounds they make. We bought one, but probably wasn’t worth it.
I am having my wife build one as well so I reserved for two people. She informs me she would rather not build one so I might have to build both with her beside me. Is there a limit to the time you can take to build them?
There are stations. First you go and pick up your bin and select the Droid parts you need from a conveyor belt. After you have your parts, a CM will have you come to a station to actually assemble it. They will help if you need it. Then, they activate it. There is no explicit time limit, but it really shouldn’t take terribly long. If you pick out the Droid parts for your wife, she could still assemble it with a CM’s help if needed.
Not what you meant, but wanted to show what I did with my Droid after I got home - I cosplay as “Jedi Snow White”, so my droid was one of my dwarves (with the addition of a hat and beard)…
