3:21
maybe these maybe the markings have been
3:22
removed
3:23
a lot has changed in the last couple
3:24
weeks might just be a walk-in i guess
3:26
figured out when i get over there but
3:28
yeah marketplace on the agenda would be
3:30
kind of neat to see some lightning
3:37
over in this area i've no
3:37
to be honest i've never seen lightning
3:40
over in this section over in this land
3:46
before
3:46
i've seen lightning at the parks even
3:49
saw lightning at the castle over at
3:50
magic kingdom once
3:53

3:57
what do you think of all this inclement
3:59
weather yeah i did bring my umbrella but
4:00

4:01
i haven't utilized it yet just in case i
4:04
have a feeling
4:05
the clouds are gonna open
4:11

4:11
angle on this look at that there's a
4:14
thing of beauty right there i love the
4:15

4:26
heading over to the marketplace droids
4:28
sometimes when i put together these
4:30
ideas and series is you know sometimes
4:32
sometimes i don't even plan on being a
4:33
continual series
4:35
but i'll look back and go you know i
4:36
just did that but it's been
4:39
over a month it's been a couple days
4:41
past a month since
4:43
i did a what's new in batu
4:46
parentheses east these are the crowds
4:50
through here not too bad
4:51
i was kind of heading out
4:56
the thing with disney they put out a lot
4:56
of merchandise all the time so
4:59
i think once a month is good any more
5:00
than that might be
5:02
a little too much
5:07
and the next one of these i might do
5:07
might end up being in bad 2 west spoiler
5:10
alert
5:10
i am heading back to california sooner
5:12
than later i always notice down here
5:14
there is an
5:15
r2 unit torso right down there
5:18
an r2 unit torso
5:22
the pelican of some sort over here as
5:25
well some porgs
5:27

5:29
r2 unit still in
5:31
preparation it hasn't been fully fully
5:34

5:39
wow look they have
5:41
they have removed all the stanchions
5:43
through here there's no more distancing
5:45
you can just walk right in here
5:46
at your own ease there is no more
5:48
distancing to get in the shops
5:50
holy cow moving forward
5:53
this is definitely different than it was
5:55
a month ago that i was in here you had
5:57
right over here
5:58
you had cast members you had stanchions
6:00
right here you had to wait in a line
6:01
stretching out that direction
6:03
not like that now it is all
6:07
open and accessible for shopping
6:10
looks very cuddly and
6:13
sleeping there having a nice dream down
6:16

wagging the tail wagging the tail and
6:23
you know
6:24

6:27
i just have usually a bottle of water
6:30
something to hydrate myself i wake up in
6:31
the middle of the night but yeah back in
6:33
the day when i was younger i would
6:35
i would have a little snack by the bed
6:37
as well
6:40
i believe a month ago these were new
6:42
there's anything new in here and i
6:44
believe this is called the creature shop
6:47
i'm not seeing anything
6:50
oh i am seeing this
6:59
i just love looking along the roof line
6:59
too
7:00
everything through here
7:05
doesn't look like there's anything new
7:05
in here any new items in here in the
7:07
last month
7:08
okay i don't i don't remember seeing
7:09
this before yeah this here
7:13
that right there i do not recall last
7:14
time this might be something new here
7:17
it shows the information on the side
7:18
there
7:20
okay i am gonna i'm gonna go out on a
7:22
limb here and say that this is a new
7:24
item
7:25
right in here
7:35
yeah i think it is i think these are all
7:36
and these are not new nor are these
7:40
oh look at that little porg up there
7:53
hey darren i love along along the roof
7:53
line here
7:54
we got the star destroyer up there we
7:56
got the skit
7:57
barge there from jabba's palace from
8:00
return of the jedi as well
8:02
this is so great there's the asteroid
8:04
field
8:06
falcon narrowly avoiding through oh
8:09
there's an ewok up there look
8:13
that is cool there's a new one right up
8:14
there and an add-on
8:17
yeah as well
8:23
yeah pretty cool so some of these items
8:24
it's been a while since i've been in the
8:25
store it's been a while there's an ad
8:27
at look at that that could possibly be
8:30
and these little items here which are
8:32
just kind of paperweights for a desk
8:34
trooper up there you got boba fett
8:37
dancing boba fett there
8:39
sand speeder down here this is a jedi
8:42
puzzle cube
8:44
i don't know what we call seeing that
8:45
before and this is very tempting
8:48
here are hey take a look at this this is
8:50
neat it's almost like a little puzzle
8:52
here
8:52
we can move the legs the torso and the
8:54
head of the bounty hunters
8:56
across here so you would turn this see
9:00
you could put a different head on boba
9:02
fett one of the other bounty hunters
9:04
oh it's not just that oh look at this
9:06
there's a trooper in the emperor right
9:08
you want this don't you oh i'm gonna put
9:13
a trooper helmet
9:14
on can i do that can it spin around it's
9:16
not one to spin around
9:18
it's not oh but look at this this is one
9:20
of my favorite characters emperor's
9:22
royal guards right now right there so i
9:24
could possibly
9:26
spin and turn that around and now got
9:29
darth maul
9:30
his head is on the emperor royal guard's
9:33
body
9:34
i like these how much are these let's
9:37
take a look here
9:38
it says that these are 17 99
9:41
that right there you know what that's
9:43
pretty neat that would be a good
9:44
paperweight
9:45
for a desk as well there's also some
9:47
model kits
9:48
this little puzzle here oh this is neat
9:51
this little puzzle here it's almost like
9:53
the
9:53
the end where they're flying around the
9:55
top of top of the death star maybe
9:58
yeah possibly i think that's what that
10:00
is alluding to
10:01
now here is a wooden trooper doll
10:04
right in here and a vader darth vader
10:07
marionette
10:10
i haven't seen this either yeah it's a
10:13
marionette it's like a puppet
10:15
right there and there's also there's
10:17
some marionette this
10:18
boat with that oh no it's not a berry
10:20
now it's just a wooden doll
10:22
it's a wooden doll of boba fett
10:25
there oh look at that he's got a little
10:27
head bobber you can put that on while
10:28
you're driving in traffic it's almost
10:30
like you know the
10:31
little hula girls the dance and have the
10:33
head bobbing this is kind of like that
10:35
except this is a lot bigger this is like
10:37
way way taller
10:39
as well this would be pretty neat to
10:41
like kind of dangle above your bed
10:44
and uh when you wake up you could have
10:45
vader
10:47
but he would let you know that he's
10:48
related to you in some way possibly your
10:50
father
10:51
your father now it's probably frowned
10:53
upon to utilize this in the shop
10:55
this is a whistle here it's called a
10:57
convoy
10:58
whistle if you look around the back
11:00
there is a hole where you can place your
11:01
mouth
11:02
and blow into this like a whistle but
11:04
now
11:05
this is probably not the time to to
11:07
demonstrate that nor you know with
11:09
kind of everything continue i know a lot
11:10
of regulations have changed but you do
11:11
not want to
11:12
probably don't want to blow a whistle
11:14
and put it back on the shelf i also want
11:16
to point out i rarely hear
11:17
anyone calling it black spire outpost
11:19
usually star wars land or battu or batu
11:22
east
11:23
rarely do i ever hear any more people
11:26
start need to start referring
11:28
to to as black spire outposts i believe
11:30
they have the patches they have the
11:31
merchandise
11:32
but you don't really hear a lot of
11:33
people are referring to the land as that
11:35
oh
11:36
you think they're going to continue well
11:38
i don't know will they continue
11:39
oh look at this buy one get one free
11:42
on facial coverings wow things have
11:45
changed
11:47
things have considerably changed
11:55
i always like to look around at the
11:55
theming it is so
11:57
dang cool theming on point back in here
12:00
always at disney but
12:01
galaxy's edge man they really went above
12:04
and beyond
12:05
with everything reopening especially
12:07
with no more distancing
12:08
i thought this little drink stand would
12:10
be reopened by now but it's not it still
12:12
says sorry we're closed
12:14
you see they have the little heaters
12:15
down here kind of gives the ambiance so
12:17
that they're cooking something in there
12:19
not far from rontos ronto roachers is
12:21
just right over
12:23
and there if i pan around you'll be able
12:25
to see the
12:27
the robot working very hard cooking the
12:30
ronto wraps
12:31
right over in there but yeah this is the
12:34
store
12:35
here not open yet see if they have
12:37
anything in here i missed the shot
12:39
now last month they were these were out
12:41
of stock
12:42
49.99 for this oh they were out they
12:45
were out of stock on these mugs
12:47
oh these are cool wow i don't know if i
12:50
would personally own one of these i
12:51
don't know if i want to
12:52
serve a piping hot caffeinated beverage
12:54
in this
12:55
this the uh the tusks here they might
12:58
end up
13:00
they might end up damaging your
13:04
your nostril 24.99 this would be good
13:07
like a paperweight as well
13:09
i like this these were very popular when
13:10
they came out in fact i wanted to show
13:12
up to
13:13
about a month ago to show those and they
13:14
were not they were not available they
13:17
were
13:17
out of stock as well as the boba fett
13:20
helmet recently came out
13:22
gauntlets down in there
13:29
a lot of boba fett merchandise started
13:29
to
13:29
kind of go into fruition
13:34
all right i'm just going to wander
13:35
around oh there was a jedi there over
13:37
there walking past look
13:38
it is really nice there is no wait time
13:40
to get in here sometimes you would wait
13:41
like an
13:41
hour backed up just to get through the
13:44
stanchions to get in here so it's really
13:46
nice that it's not like that anymore
13:47
not seeing any characters out no
13:49
troopers no ray
13:51
no chewie and there is no one at the
13:53
coca-cola droid station
13:56
serving any any beverages none of them i
13:59
passed three two or three coca-cola
14:00
joints
14:01
no one's serving any beverages during
14:04
this inclement weather i did see one up
14:06
but i was not recording
14:09
eyes to the sky i should go inside the
14:13
droid depot
14:15
hello droids i'm gonna go inside your
14:17
depot got any new merchandise in here
14:20
you know honestly i don't even know if i
14:22
saw something that was older i may think
14:24
it's new
14:25
i'm gonna go in and look either anyway
14:27
thanks for your help
14:33
and they do still have the sanitizing
14:35
stations scattered around
14:37
every time i see this dj rex shirt i'm
14:39
tempted to get it
14:40
i'm kind of more of an old school pre dj
14:43
rex
14:44
aficionado back when he was the pilot on
14:48
oh here is a protocol droid hand
14:51
frame i don't recall seeing that before
14:55
has a removable frame and you can put a
14:58
photo of yourself
14:59
in a droid hand this ledge can also hold
15:03
other electronic devices if you want to
15:04
put your phone up there
15:09
just don't put an iphone up there
15:10
because it's not a droid
15:13
it's probably an overused joke oh
15:15
goodness
15:16
kylo and ray there together underneath
15:19
kylo ship
15:20
now there are none of the
15:23
disney characters out it's amazing
15:26
saying anything
15:27
star wars characters or disney
15:28
characters now
15:31
oh but there are others cosplaying
15:36
dressed up or dressed up in costumes of
15:40
the characters as well which is always
15:42
neat
15:49

15:49
reason or excuse to walk back through
15:51
i'm all for it not a lot of guests in
15:53
line for the milk
15:55
it is mobile order now you can't just
15:56
walk up and purchase a milk
15:58
it's all mobile order if you want to get
16:00
a you want to get a blue or a green milk
16:03
there is no one in line for blue or
16:06
green milk
16:20
everyone's clearing out of here still
16:20
about 50 minutes before close
16:21
immediately next to the cantina is this
16:24
door which i never noticed till now
16:26
usually because there's probably a
16:27
pretty good congregation of people right
16:30
in here
16:31
if this opened and a rancor walked out
16:33
everyone would be startled
16:36
including me
16:49
inside doc on doors now
16:49
someone is backing up but that beeping
16:51
is oh stay away from
16:53

16:56
there is a sith temple wall
17:00
wall sculpture right here
17:03
as well as an emperor emperor palpatine
17:06

17:46
for 150 dollars it is thrown there
17:49

17:55
new in batu for 95.
18:00

for him to try to to convince

18:58

21:45
now supposedly this door here when the
21:48
star wars hotel
21:49
is built oh yeah i love the indoor

21:59
supposedly when the star wars hotel is
22:01
finished it will be transported from
22:03
your accommodation staying
22:05
in that hotel through this door that's
22:08
what i've heard
22:09
anyway see if that comes to fruition
22:17
unless a rancour walks out of there and
22:17
i would be
22:18
startled even though there are no more
22:20
distance markings on the ground
22:22
and that is now happy to say a thing of
22:25
the past
22:26
there are markings along the ground
22:29
arrows
22:30
little thin taped arrows for in the
22:33
morning hours when the line for
22:34
smugglers is very lengthy
22:36
it shows you how the cue goes up and
22:39
around
22:40
all the way sometimes they even open
22:41
that open that bay door to backstage if
22:43
the line gets too long
22:45
and stretches in there so we have gone
22:46
from distancing
22:48
markers to now
22:52
thinly taped arrows but no distancing
22:56
