DFB EXCLUSIVE: Printable Guide to Batuu Phrases in Disney’s Galaxy’s Edge

Ignite the spark! Or maybe even….for the Order? Whether you’re Team Resistance or Team First Order, you’re going to want to know the lingo while you’re visiting the planet of Batuu. You’re not just visiting Disneyland, you are actually traveling to a galaxy far, far away.

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge

Cast members in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge are playing the part of Batuu citizens — so they won’t know what you mean when you ask where the bathroom is or where to find a store that sells Resistance merchandise.

Here’s what we’re going to eat (and drink!) FIRST in Galaxy’s Edge!
