Ideas for Star Wars Services to be offered in WDW.
For the Galactic Star Cruiser:
Spa: this would require an addition to be added to the GSC by which guests can obtain spa packages themed to the star wars galaxy.
Mimbanese Mud facial/Mud baths
Huttese Full Body massages
Mon Calamari Seaweed Wrap
Twi’lek/Theelin Mani-Pedi
Rodian Cupping
Sauna with Mustafarian Coals
Bacta Deprivation pods
Pool: adding an indoor pool would also require additions to be added to the GSC, where Guests can swim, in a pool meant for the non-human species of the Star Wars Galaxy, Mon Calamari-Gungan-Chagrian-Nautolan,etc, although human guests also are known to enjoy it.
Disguise Shop/Alien bippity boppity boutique: would be a bippity boppity boutique style experience aboard the star cruiser requiring a new addition to the star cruiser where beautician and disguise droids can transform human guests of all ages using technologies into other familiar star wars species.
For Galaxy’s Edge
Reduced Ticket Price and Entrance for Galaxy's Edge only: requires a new parking lot and point of entry for Galaxy's Edge only Guests, who dress in cosplay and want to only be part of STAR WARS in the parks. This could allow DISNEY to further bring to life the vision of Galaxy's edge that was presented upon its announcement.
Disguise Shop/Alien bippity boppity boutique:would be a bippity boppity boutique style experience at black spire outpost requiring a new addition to the star wars themed land where beautician and disguise droids can transform human guests of all ages using technologies into other familiar star wars species.
Authentic star wars clothing shop: would require some expansion, but would sit next to the disguise shop and have a variety of costumes and clothing that is more authentic to the star wars galaxy than the current offerings, allowing guests to truly dress the part of a STAR WARS Character.
Arms Dealer/Blaster Shop: would require limited expansion to the marketplace, allowing guests to purchase interactive blasters and holsters to be used around the park. Would also require blaster objective points around the land and informative scanning at the security booths in the parks.
Live Music: a stage that features characters of the Star Wars Musical world: Figrin Dan, Max Rebo, Gaya and more will make appearances at this show hosted by the hosts of Fan Favorites Snig and Oopla, from STAR WARS Weekends Hyperspace hoopla show, this time however this is set in canon, with Oga Garra making an appearance as well as Hondo Ohnaka and Vie Moradi. On Star Cruiser days, Lieutenant Kroy and others from the cruiser will also make an appearance.
Pub Crawls/Food Sampler Lead by a bizarre character: this would require limited to no further expansion unless another cantina or pub would be required to be built to accommodate this service. Would require two to three cast member team who are well versed in the lore of Star Wars Galaxy’s edge, who act like Skippers on the Jungle Cruise,dressed in full costume who will tell stories and deliver guests to sample the drinks and foods of Black Spire Outpost with attention to lore and comical entertaining editions. This will include the skipper-main tour guide, his droid assistant and an alien buffoon character who gets the tour into trouble and causes mischief as the comic relief of the experience. This will be in groups of 10 or more with multiple tours a day.
Alien Disguise Experience: while bippity boppity boutique is only for children this experience will be for all ages of Star Wars Fans who wish to dress up in character, or turn into aliens.
Easy Alien Cosmetics: these aliens are considerably easier ones that would only require minor face paint and head wear.
Kifar: will add only small amounts of hair braiding or wigs and tribal face paint turning guests into the kifar species
Twi’lek: guests can be made up and have their own custom lekku of a variety of styles put on their head, and their faces painted added prosthetics to turn them into twi’leks
Togruta: similar to the Twi’lek it will require limited face paint and a custom montreal lekku head dress to match on their head, and would change them into the Togruta species
Chagrian: once again this would require blue facepaint and a head dress of the chagrians as well as a blue candy dye that turns their tongue and mouth blue, with limited prosthetics turning them into chagrians.
Tholothian: will only require a custom head dress of the tholothian tendrals.turning them into this familiar species.
Cerean: will require a custom head piece to elongate the cranium to the pointed head of a cerean with a pony tail at the top of the cone of their real hair. Turning guests into the cerean species.
Mirialan: Green paint with ceremonial tattoos and differing headdresses for the top of the head for males and females, turning guests into the cerean species
Zabrak: possible the most challenging of the easier ones will require either bald caps and a variety of head horns and styles of face paints to turn guests into the mighty dathomirian or Iridonian Zabraks, with contact lenses being optional.
More Challenging but worth the cost alien cosmetics:while these are the more challenging, they aren’t necessarily more challenging for the designer but require more commitment from the guest and costuming experts in this experience.
Umbaran:requires a bald cap and pale eye contact lenses, as well as paler tones and paint, that might not suit all peoples
Theelin: while a theelins face is generally easy purple with limited prosthetics and a wig or temporary hair dye job, the theelins feet are generally hooved and will require special boots, for guests who wish to be this species
Iktotchi: this species will require special horns on the side of their heads and alot of prosthetic makeup.
Pantoran:for Pantoran, special yellow contacts as well as a commitment to blue paint and a wig or dye job will be required
Chiss: similar to the pantoran the chiss will require specialized red contacts.
Pau’an: for the pau’an a full facial prosthetic makeup and bald cap as well as yellow contacts will be required for guests
Nautolan: nautloans will require a singular blue, green or yellow prosthetic makeup headpiece with goggle eyes to reflect their large black eyes, with lenses that reflect light but can also be worn inside with ease, while giving off the black appearance, green hand ornaments might also come in handy.
Sullustan: Sullastants seem easier just requiring a mask as their mouths can move with human speech with a voice changer translating human words into grunts and groans of the Sullustan people and a translator translate them to basic.
Duro/Neimodian: similar in nearly every way will require masks with operable mouths with differing colors and eyes as well as prosthetic hands
Klatooian/Weequay:this will also require masks work that allow the mouths to work as an extra set of lips and prosthetics for the hands only if needed.
Gamorrean: this large pig like hulks with masks that drool and salavate from the mouth and nose could be fun for guests but will require a full green suit to be warn with the head and the cost for that alone could be more than bargained for.The mouth would require extreme care to assist in getting drinks and food to the guest inside the costume. Will require gamorean foot boots and sandals.
Trandoshun: similar to the Gamorrean the Trandoshuns will require three fingered arms and trandoshan leg and foot boots as well as differences between the masculine and feminine ones.The mouth would require extreme care to assist in getting drinks and food to the guest inside the costume.Trandoshans could also have a variety of reptillian skin suits that give the appearance of scaly skin to match with a variety of outfits and different trandoshun feet boots.
Wookie: wookies would be difficult due to the height of these characters and the fact that guests wearing a wookie costume would need to be in a fur suit with some sort of bag, satchel or adornment or separate them from chewbacca. The mouth would require extreme care to assist in getting drinks and food to the guest inside the costume. Wookies will also require a voice changer similar to the sullustan as their mouth moves, wookie sounds come out and their basic speech is translated as well.
Extremely difficult species to do costumes of: while these would either sell or make some fans very happy they are to difficult to accommodate food and drink consumption or just to hard to accommodate.
Kel Dor/Kubaz/Gand: all of these wear masks over their alien faces and I would argue are to hot to create or have guests wear in the park.
Mon Calamari: the eyes of the moncalamari make it difficult to see despite the mouth being present in this species.
Aqualish: have no mouth and tons of fur and the discrepancies of this species with the variet of hands and eyes make it difficult.
Quarren: quarren mouths dont make sense to consume food through despite me wanting to see one in person
Ugnaught: ugnaughts would be fun but their height discrepancy is an issue while not impossible, I don’t for see anyone saying i want to be an ugnaught
tusken raider:while these would be genuinely easy, what would they be doing on Batuu
Jawa: while these would be easy, they have no mouths under their hoods and the glowing eyes and shadow of their faces could make it difficult to see or breath in the hot florida sun.
Rodian: while rodians would be fun their snoot of a mouth make things difficult not only to consume food but drinks as well especially given that they would need voice changers as well.
Devaronian: while this one will work i don’t think it will sell as it is such an obscure wicked looking being.
Hutt:no simply just saying it, we don’t need guests dressed as the hutts, the heaviest and most difficult of all species in the galaxy.
Bith/Ortollan: while these can be featured in the park they shouldn’t be costumes for guests to wear due to the food consumption concerns.
The way Disney can prevent guests from taking pictures or interacting with other guests is simply provide non-cast member guests in costume with a lanyard and pass specifying and signaling to other guests that these guests are guests and not cast members and to not ask for pictures. Hence why all of these guests need a working mouth or costume piece to aid them in the consumption of food and drink as to not let them break immersion. The rule is if your costume is on it is on, so guests will choose if its worth dressing up or not.
Perhaps special utensils can come with specific alien customizations such as straws and food utensils of specific sizes and materials to assist in the consumption of food while using prosthetic hands or mouths or to not impact makeup.
A guest in a costume relief station could also be something worth exploring for these guests allowing them to remove costume pieces and get discounted water and such for helping bring galaxies edge to life. Out of sight of the non-costume wearing guests.
While some guests will want to buy pieces separately certain pieces will be required to be purchased all at once with different options to exclude specifics, such as trandoshan boots, which can be replaced by regular boots or sneakers if what their wearing goes beneath their ankles and hand cosmetics for most costumes being opted out against with the purchase of gloves. This means specific conditions must be met in order for guests to purchase and wear costumes around the park as a species , providing incentive and reluctance for those who do not wish to comply with Disney’s guest costume policies.
A series of changing rooms will be required for guests to switch into costumes in the park, preferably at the new Galaxy's edge guest only entrance and in different locations around this themed land.
While Aliens would be the main focus of our disguise shop, we could potentially also provide different human creeds different outfits and armor from across the galaxy in the authentic clothing shops.

With more outfits inspired by other planets and star wars cultures on the way every year, to stock the shelves and a 50% off discount on the older fashions when the new ones come in on a clearance rack and all items available online for purchase with applicable discounts as well as for Pre-order on the day of their visit to Batuu.
Costuming guidelines will require guests to wear a costume validation card/ lanyard validating them as costumed guests, the ones who pay only for a Batuu ticket will have a separate ID that will be needed to be identified differently than the costumed full park guests, and inspected upon leaving Batuu to the rest of the park.
Costumed Guests may only be in costume in galaxy’s edge and must show their lanyard and contents of their bag at the weigh station between galaxy’s edge and the rest of Hollywood studios park. These badges will be attached to magic bands/park reservation so they cannot be ditched, lost or otherwise hidden, as to identify them when traveling between Batuu and Hollywood Studios. By putting a new weigh station/ turn style with scanner at the two entrances to Batuu we can negate park access to costumed guests allowing them to only experience what they paid for: AKA Galaxy's Edge.
Guests will also comply with this rule or risk being banned from the parks for not complying with the rules of their ticket. While full Hollywood studios guests with that ticket may still be allowed to come and go from galaxy's edge as they please.
Guests will not be allowed to Cosplay as specific characters: Darth Vader, Chewbacca, Kylo Ren etc. but may opt to dress as non-named characters or characters inspired by characters, dawning their lanyard and cosplay pass while on their visit to Batuu.
Guests must remove Costumes and Wear appropriate civilian clothing when leaving Batuu for Hollywood Studios and must have a Hollywood Studios Pass and Reservation to leave Batuu. Locker and back room Storage for costumes can be offered at the Authentic Clothing Shop at Galaxy’s Edge or at the guest services booth Galaxy’s Edge Exclusive Entrance. Civilian Clothing must be packed with guests who intend to visit both Batuu and Hollywood Studios.
A waiver listing that the park nor are park employees responsible for any damaged costumes must be signed upon entry through the batuu gate.
Cosplays worn into the galaxy's edge must be STAR WARS or STAR WARS Adjacent, not from other SCI FI or NON-DISNEY BRANDS as well as be appropriate.
All cosplay guests must make their way through the cosplay turnstyle at the Galaxy’s edge entrance and pass through a scanner and allow all items to pass through the AIT scanners at this gate.
THE GALAXY’S EDGE ONLY GATE:
This should be in the backlot of Hollywood studios and have its own entrance similar to where the GSC entrance is. Guests will be directed to parking and will take a tram to the Terminal for Transport to Batuu where they will be instructed on the rules by a themed security video. This parking lot isn’t for Hollywood Studios only for Batuu Day Guests, any guests attempting to enter Hollywood Studios will be asked to park at the hollywood studios parking lot and given directions to the actual parks parking lot.
Upon passing through security guests will enter a terminal to board their transport to Batuu. This will be a 2-5 minute door opens door closes simulator similar to rise of the resistance, with a first Order Escort and encounter with the Millenium Falcon Floan by Hondo Ohnaka and Chewbacca that lands right on the First Order Side of Batuu, doors into Batuu open and Guests enter Galaxy's Edge, needing to exit the transport in moments to allow the next Guests to Enter the park through the transport. From here guests will begin their LARP Story entering into the Disguise and Costume Shops area, which will then exit into Batuu next to the First Order Side of the Park. Guests only visiting Galaxy's Edge may enter the park an hour early, to go to Oga’s Cantina and other experiences before the hollywood studios day guests arrive.allowing for them to be exiting shops and get a lay of the land prior to the Parks opening so when the normal day guests aliens and other characters are already walking around the highly themed area.
An expansion with more offerings will be needed to sustain this galaxy's edge concept expanding Batuu past the confines of Black Spire outPost and the Outpost Ruins to allow these guests some fun LARP activities and missions. This will include two new attractions, a few new shops and two new dining options including one where cosplaying guests get priority and interactions that Galaxy’s edge is currently missing.
The Muppets area will need to be removed and relocated at some point to add more star Wars and a retheme will need to be done to Star Tours to add it to Galaxy’s Edge, as well as a new Entrance to Batuu between indiana Jones and Star tours where backlot express baseline tap house are currently located and the Current Location of Star Tours. Thereby giving Galaxy’s Edge a total of 5 attractions,including: Rise of the Resistance, Smugglers Run, Star Tours and two more new attractions to this Land that will take up the area that currently hosts the muppets just east of the Resistance Area, and a stage to the north between picar place and galaxies edge will be host to the new musical entertainment stage. The muppets will then be moved to the north side of the park, just west of Fantasmic and north of the Tower of Terror.
This entrance and parking lot for Galaxy's edge day guests will be located on the west side of Galaxy's edge right across from where GSC passenger shuttle lands in the opposing door way by the milk stand and first order cargo. With a monorail perhaps being built over the highway to deliver guests to the park's new entrance on the opposing side of the highway to the direct west just east of blizzard beach. Or perhaps a new expansion to batuu can be placed there with this Batuu Day Guests entrance placed on this side of the highway with the monorail to the other side of batuu being highly themed and made into a sixth attraction between hollywood studios and its expansion allowing even more chances to expand star wars in the parks and give guests new and exciting ways to LARP within the Star Wars Galaxy.
My concept for the expansion of Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge:
Muppet Vision 4D will have to be moved to the north west part of Hollywood Studios to the north side of the park just north of Cars show and Tower of Terror but west of Fantasmic.
The area around New York/Muppets and Star Tours up to Backlot Express will be walled off and converted into an expansion of Galaxy’s Edge to include Star Tours and add in up to 4 extra attractions and LARP experiences for Galaxy’s Edge.
Star Tours will undergo a Retheme for Batuu and Galaxy’s Edge, with the Attractions outside only being changed, the inside will remain somewhat the same and the ride will still operate during construction and retheming until just before the opening of the Expansion.
A new Galaxy’s Edge Exclusive Entrance will be created for the Park, with a discounted Ticket for LARP Experience Guests who will have a discounted Ticket Rate, and new Costuming Guidelines in the Park. These new guidelines will require all guests in costume to wear a lanyard and badge specifying that they are guests and not employees and specify greater guidelines on what guests are allowed to dress up as and other security rules. These lanyards will somehow connect to magic bands, similar to park ticketing to ensure access that is granted by the ticket.
A new costuming Experience will be developed for guests of all ages, similar to Bippity Boppity Boutique, so guests can become a variety of Alien Species from the Star Wars Universe with plenty of Variety to choose from.
A new more impressive in galaxy costuming shop will be added to this land to assist in the LARP guests experience. This shop will be themed to an otherworldly bazaar of clothes from across the galaxy stylistically themed to a variety of select planets like Coruscant and Naboo to Tatooine and Dathomir and more.
Interactive Tools and Blasters will be developed to create a larger guest experience, with these blasters new security measures will be added including an AIT scanner for the Hollywood Studios and Galaxy’s Edge Guest Entrance, to determine if Interactive Blasters are safe for Entry into the Park. With the inclusion of these blasters and tools new interactive blaster locations will be added to the park for tangible guest experiences, around Galaxy's Edge only!
The Jedi Training Academy will obtain a full size rethemed stage for Jedi training now featuring Rey, Darth Vader, Darth Maul, Kylo Ren, Finn, Ahsoka Tano, the ghosts of Yoda and more.the show will now take place in a ruins of an ancient Jedi Temple, and will have a few surprise elements, sure to wow guests who participate and guests in the audience alike.
A Stage focused on a show around the music of the Star Wars galaxy featuring Gaya, Figrin D'an and Max Rebo will be made. This show will be hosted by Snig and Hoopla from Star Wars weekends, HyperSpace Hoopla show. Oga Garra and Hondo Ohnaka will make appearances in this show as well as a few other familiar faces.
Galaxies edge will be changed to now host 5 attractions: Star Tours, Rise of the Resistance, Smugglers Run and two more Rides, one incorporating the Interactive blaster technology into it, the other involving a mission for the First Order.
Two new restaurants and one new rival cantina to Oga’s will be added.
New turnstiles will be added to Galaxy’s Edge’s surroundings to prevent Day Guests to Galaxy's Edge from accessing the rest of Hollywood Studios Park.
A new Pub Crawl entertainment option will be added featuring three cast members: one the group leader, the second his droid assistant and finally goofball alien who gets the pub crawl group into trouble. The experience should be for 10-20 guests at a time and features music, drinks and samplings of food from around galaxies edge as well as a souvenir pub crawl pin. They will sing star wars in galaxy songs and explore the history of Batuu as they travel the land in style, providing more knowledge about Batuu and Black Spire Outpost to guests.
The Dejarik and Sabacc zone, a new interactive zone where guests can play holo sabacc and dejarik in a garden, with the supervision of Castmembers and have tournament for the games twice a day.
A Funerary march style Parade featuring first order StormTroopers and Batuu civilians will take place, based on the Ferrix Funerary march from Andor through this land.
New Batuu bounty hunters locations and a bounty hunters guild outpost will be added.
A mandalorian enclave with a stunt show will be added featuring Din Jarin and Grogu. Will take place after the events of the Mandalorian during the Sequel Era. the Mandalorian trains Foundlings(the Audience) in the way of the Mandalorians.
A nightly Star Wars FireWorks Display show featuring a duel between Rey and Kylo Ren, called echoes of the force with displays of different battles set to fireworks with elements of the Dark and light Sides of the Force in flux. With scenes narrated by Yoda, and Emperor Palpatine. Projected onto the ruins of the Jedi Temple.
Galactic star cruiser voyages will need to be expanded to last for 3 nights rather than 2. An expansion to the galactic star cruiser to include more rooms and amenities. Day 1 will allow guests to explore the ship and learn bridge and engineering training as well as spa features before the story begins that evening. Day 2 will be the story beginning a day aboard the ship with plenty to do onboard, day 3 will be the Batuu excursion, day 4 will be the departure day back to the home world.
A dark side cave, where guests can meet Darth Vader, Darth Maul and Emperor Palpatine. This is similar to the one on dagobah with echoes of the dark side of the force. Only journey if you dare.
Following the success of this new improved Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge expansion.
Batuu Expansion Site B will be built offsite at a new fifth gate, A Full Star Wars Park with TBA set in the Prequel and Original trilogy Eras as well as eras before and in between(High Republic Era, New Republic Era, Rise of the Empire Era) with all if any scrapped ideas will be redeveloped and built. Featuring their own in galaxy LARP hotels. An immersive monorail attraction will leave from Batuu to this new Park Directly pending guests have purchased a park hopper ticket they will be allowed to board it and travel to these other worlds and eras meeting new and exciting characters.
