Here’s a look at the characters, droids, and creatures you could encounter…

Characters

Rey

Location: Resistance Encampment, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

Sometime after the Battle of Crait at the conclusion of “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” Resistance hero Rey made her way to Batuu. Here, she leads the recruitment effort for the Resistance by actively inspiring supporters of the Resistance along the galaxy’s Outer Rim.

Chewbacca

Locations: Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, Resistance Encampment

A legendary Wookiee warrior and Han Solo’s co-pilot aboard the Millennium Falcon, Chewbacca (“Chewie,” for short) came to Batuu aboard the damaged Falcon. He needs special parts to fix his ship and the Resistance needs fresh supplies, so Chewie made a deal to loan Hondo Ohnaka the Millennium Falcon for a few smuggling runs in exchange for the items he desperately needs.

Kylo Ren

20190608_142152

Location: Docking Bay 9 (First Order Encampment), Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

The Supreme Leader of the First Order strikes fear in the hearts of his foes with his imposing mask, long dark robes, iconic hilted red lightsaber and notoriously violent temper. As a highly trained, Force-sensitive warrior, Kylo Ren is determined to root out the Resistance and travels to Batuu to search for and destroy any traces he can find.

Poe Dameron

Location: Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

A commander in the Resistance starfighter corps, Poe Dameron is one of General Leia Organa’s most-trusted operatives. A decorated X-wing pilot, he is currently stationed at the hidden Resistance encampment on Batuu, where among other duties he escorts transport shuttles off the planet.

Finn

Location: Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

FN-2187 (nickname “Finn”) was trained since birth to serve the First Order as a Stormtrooper, but a skirmish on Jakku awakened his conscience and drove him down a different path as a member of the Resistance. Since leaving the First Order, Finn has aided both Poe Dameron and Rey in their quest to defeat their oppressors, as he seems to have a knack for finding – and getting out of – trouble.

Lieutenant Bek

Location: Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

Bek is a Mon Calamari – a humanoid, aquatic species with high-domed heads, webbed hands and large, goggle-like eyes. He is a communications officer for the Resistance, stationed on Batuu to oversee the processing of new recruits. Bek is assigned to a Resistance Intersystem Transport Ship (I-TS) to help recruits make their way off planet and to the hidden Resistance rendezvous point.

General Hux

Location: Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

A young, ruthless officer in the First Order, General Hux is a rival of Kylo Ren who eagerly awaits the day the First Order will use its technological superiority to defeat the Resistance. Hux commands his troops from a Star Destroyer in orbit around Batuu.

Hondo Ohnaka

20190531_214953

Location: Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run

Established in the “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” animated television series, Hondo Ohnaka is a Weequay pirate turned “legitimate” businessman (although most would call him a smuggler). A rough-around-the-edges rogue, he is always looking out for the next big score. Hondo founded Ohnaka Transport Solutions, which operates out of Black Spire Outpost and specializes in acquiring or delivering restricted items. In Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, he asks guests to help him acquire some prized cargo of importance to both the First Order and the Resistance.  And, of course, Hondo will be pocketing a sizeable profit along the way.

Dok-Ondar

Location: Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities

A larger-than-life collector of all things odd and hard to find, Dok-Ondar buys, sells and trades valuable items in his intergalactic antiquities shop. The Ithorian is a proud curator, amassing a collection unrivaled in the galaxy. He is also known as the “gatekeeper” of the black market in Black Spire Outpost, so locals know not to cross him. Guests can see him working at his desk, taking inventory and barking the occasional order at his assistants between incoming calls.

Zabaka

20190531_232747

Location: Toydarian Toymaker

Zabaka is a Toydarian, the flying alien species first seen in “Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.” Her small stall has thrived in Black Spire Outpost by selling quality toys and through her good relationships with other proprietors in town. Guests can see the silhouette of Zabaka going about her daily business through her workshop window.

The Gatherers

20190601_000135

Location: Savi’s Workshop – Handbuilt Lightsabers

As believers in the ways of the Force, the Gatherers are a group of men and women dedicated to restoring balance in the galaxy by passing on ancient knowledge. Part of their mission is guiding the next generation of Jedi-hopefuls in building their own unique lightsabers.

Vi Moradi

PSX_20190601_210351

Location: Black Spire Outpost

Vi Moradi is a spy and intelligence officer for the Resistance who traveled to Batuu to scout the planet for its viability as a potential Resistance recruiting station. This strong-willed, hot-tempered, quick-witted woman is trying to stay one step ahead of the First Order while recruiting for the Resistance as she traverses the twisting pathways of Black Spire Outpost.

WATCH: Vi Moradi taunts Stormtroopers

Oga Garra

Location: Oga’s Cantina

This Blutopian crime boss of Black Spire Outpost is a mysterious figure. She is never seen, but is often heard yelling at her servers inside Oga’s Cantina. Her influence stretches throughout the outpost, as her fingers are in every business transaction and she knows everyone coming and going.

Stormtroopers

20190713_112747(0)

Location: Marketplace, Spaceport

Usually travelling in pairs, you can spot the imposing soldiers in most parts of Batuu; their presence, along with the First Order, a growing threat to peace in the area.

Droids

DJ R-3X

Location: Oga’s Cantina

This former Star Tours pilot droid, known as “Rex,” crash landed on Batuu and was reprogrammed into a DJ by Mubo at the Droid Depot. Mubo gave Rex to Oga Garra to pay off a debt, and “DJ Rex” now provides the musical entertainment inside Oga’s Cantina – and he’s still as chatty as ever.

BB-8

BB-8 in Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

Location: Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

A skittish but loyal astromech, BB-8 accompanies Poe Dameron on missions for the Resistance, helping keep his X-wing in working order. The droid also met Rey in the desert on Jakku and helped her locate Jedi Master Luke Skywalker. BB-8 is now helping both Rey and Poe at the hidden Resistance encampment on Batuu.

First Order R5-Series Astromech

R5-Series Droids in Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

Location: Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

R5s are a variation on the popular astromech series of droids, versatile utility robots generally used for the maintenance and repair of starships and related technology. The R5s’ somewhat churlish personalities tend to make them prone to bickering with other droids. The First Order uses black R5s to pilot troop transports aboard the Star Destroyer in orbit above Batuu.

8D-J8

20190620_114553

Location: Ronto Roasters

As a former smelter droid, 8D-J8 was reprogrammed to do one thing: turn the meats on the spit at Ronto Roasters, ensuring they are cooked to perfection.

R5-P8

20190623_083825

Location: Spaceport

This sassy droid is Hondo’s most capable astromech and serves as an automated repair mechanic on the smuggler’s many starships. He calls Hondo out on many occasions, always keeping the pirate on his toes.
