Earlier this month, the cute BDX droids debuted at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. This marks the end of their world tour, at least as has been announced so far. The BDX droids finally make good on the promise from Walt Disney Imagineering to have roaming droids in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. That said, they’re not going to stick around forever, so we wanted to help you spot them and let you know when they’re leaving. Here’s the latest on how to meet the BDX droids!
What Are BDX Droids?
BDX droids are bipedal, free-roaming droids that walk around Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The droids are based on the BD-series droid seen in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, but are unique to the Disney theme parks.
They are just a couple of feet tall, but they are packed with personality. The BDX droids debuted at Disneyland back in October 2023. More recently, they have been on a world tour of the Disney theme parks, interacting with guests and showcasing the next generation of Disney character interactions.
What Days of the Week Are the BDX Droids Out?
The BDX droids are only appearing Tuesday to Saturday, taking Sunday and Monday off.

In the evening, the BDX droids make one final appearance near the TIE Echelon ship.
