Star Wars Life Day falls on Tuesday, November 17th this year. Disney is marking the Wookiee holiday with a new batch of collectibles headed to DisneyStore.com and Disney Parks, plus a bigger change for Walt Disney World guests at Droid Depot. All three Batuu Adventure Buddies interactive toys go on sale at Disney’s Hollywood Studios that same day, with a virtual queue in place. Here’s the latest.
Star Wars Life Day 2026 Merchandise and Batuu Adventure Buddies at Disney World

- The four Life Day collectibles Disney has previewed, and when each one goes on sale.
- How the Batuu Adventure Buddies virtual queue works at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Life Day first appeared in the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special as a Wookiee celebration of family, harmony and joy. For Life Day 2026, DisneyStore.com is revealing the lineup through a daily countdown at 8:00am PT from November 13th through November 16th, with products launching online and at Disney Parks.
Lightsabers, K-2SO and a Super Commando Helmet Arrive November 17th
The countdown covers lightsabers on November 13th, the Galactic Archive Series on November 14th, Hasbro on November 15th, and fan favorites on November 16th. Disney has previewed one item from each day. Three of them go on sale November 17th at 8:00am PT (11:00am ET) on DisneyStore.com. They also arrive at Disney Parks during regular operating hours that same day:
- Ezra Legacy Lightsaber Set (Limited Edition)
Two Legacy Lightsaber hilts inspired by Ezra Bridger from Star Wars Rebels, with sound effects. The hilts light up in green and blue once you attach blades, which are sold separately, and the illustrated box plays scenes from the show. - K-2SO Premium Electronic Head
A Galactic Archive Series replica of the reprogrammed Imperial security droid’s head, with movie-accurate phrases, lights and sounds. It arrives in time for the 10th anniversary of Rogue One. - Mandalorian Super Commando Helmet for Adults
A helmet for fans loyal to Maul, with horns on top and black and red detailing. It also has voice-changing effects and plays character phrases.
The fourth item takes longer to reach the parks. Disney calls the Hasbro Ultimate Grogu “a 1:1 first of its kind animatronic.” He has moving arms, legs, and ears, blinking eyes, and a mouth that opens and closes, with three modes of play that include responsive sounds and waving. Grogu even comes with a cookie accessory. Pre-orders open November 17th at 8:00am PT on DisneyStore.com, but Disney Parks won’t carry him until spring 2027.
Disney hasn’t listed prices for any of the four items, and it hasn’t said which park shops will stock them. When Disney released dated collectibles for Star Wars Day at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in 2025, a Stage 1 shop sat behind a virtual queue. Disney hasn’t said whether Life Day will work the same way.
Batuu Adventure Buddies Get a Virtual Queue at Hollywood Studios
All three Batuu Adventure Buddies, an Ewok, Grogu and a Huttlet, go on sale at Droid Depot in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios starting November 17th. The Ewok came first, debuting at Droid Depot in Disneyland on August 13th. At the time, Disney said the full collection would eventually reach Walt Disney World. Each Buddy has LCD eyes, facial expressions, and a mix of sounds. Accessories and gear sets cost extra.
Florida guests will need a spot in a virtual queue to shop for them. Disney lists these rules for Hollywood Studios:
- Guests need valid theme park admission.
- Requests to join open at 7:00am ET, or at 1:00pm ET once you enter the park.
- Parties are limited to two guests.
- Standby isn’t offered while the virtual queue is in use, though it may open once Disney calls all boarding groups.
A boarding group doesn’t guarantee a purchase. Disney says, “Entering the virtual queue does not guarantee the ability to purchase.” Prices for the Buddies and their gear aren’t posted yet, and Disney hasn’t said how long the virtual queue will stay in place after opening day.
