Interactive Ewok Batuu Adventure Buddy Coming to Disneyland on August 13th

Beginning August 13th, fans will have the opportunity to purchase an interactive Ewok companion inside Droid Depot in Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland park in Anaheim, kicking off the initial launch of the Batuu Adventure Buddies collection.

Available for purchase at Disneyland park starting on August 13, 2026, the Ewok is the first of three new Batuu Adventure Buddies interactive toys coming to Droid Depot at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. At a later date, the other two buddies will become available at Disneyland, and the full collection will debut at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

These toys have been crafted by a scrappy crew of Anzellan manufacturers, brought to life with expressive eyes, motorized facial expressions, and a mix of signature sounds, including giggles, laughs, and chatter that helps showcase their delightful personalities. Each Ewok can also interact with other droids sold inside Droid Depot.

Meanwhile, tapping a single time on its head or tapping twice on their belly triggers random responses, while three quick, consecutive head taps enable two special animations:

• Endor Dance Party: Rhythmic eye animations and Ewokese chanting/drumming sounds. Nearby Ewoks may also chime in.

• Forest Call Chain: Rapid double belly tap near other toys, letting out a scout call and allowing nearby toys to respond in their own languages.

Batuu Adventure Buddies can be further personalized with optional accessories available for an additional fee.

For those looking to outfit their energetic companion with the latest styles so you’re equipped to take down any lurking AT-STs, three themed gear packs add flair and interactive play opportunities.

• Endor Gear Set (Spear, Horn, Grilled Fish, and Endor Issue Poncho)

• Mandalore Gear Set (Mythosaur Axe, Nummies, Beskar Chest Armor, and Shoulder Cape)

• Batuu Gear Set (YT-1300 Freighter Model, All-Kit Tool, Ronto Wrap, and Bantuuan Poncho)

These accessories aren’t just decorative either. The food, toys, and tools that come with the gear sets connect directly to your pal’s left hand and trigger unique animations, sounds, and reactions.

The experience begins with a visit to a dedicated wall bay inside Droid Depot, where a cast member will help guests select their companion and preferred accessories. Once a character has been chosen, guests participate in a special activation moment that brings their new friend to life for the very first time, before travelers are free to set off to explore the rest of Batuu with their new companion.
