----------

[02:15] In the cinematic realm of Disney’s Hollywood Studios, we have stumbled upon something so distinctive, so unique, we have to leave behind the sun-soaked palm trees, glamour and ambience of Hollywood’s Golden Age entirely.

[02:30] An eerie breath of woodwinds welcomes us to the treasure trove planet of Batuu. The lilt of a flute, an oboe, the unmistakable weight of a bassoon.

[02:45] From the perspective of a rover, you might be tempted to leave the beige tones and mundane activities of this side of the galaxy in your dust…but oh, what secrets and stories lie within!

Who could imagine, upon first or even second glance, that this could be the stomping grounds of the greatest Jedi for many moons? You’ve heard the phrase: “don’t judge a book by its cover,” no doubt? Well, don’t judge a planet by its junkyard.

[03:38] Our mystical, orchestral interlude is broken by a jumble of otherworldly noises. We can discern the descent of a spaceship onto its tarmac, the Millennium Falcon, perhaps?

[06:04] Droids chatter back and forth in their robotic, indiscernible way. Keep your eyes peeled for faithful R2D2, and BB-8 trailing after him with much enthusiasm.

[07:20] In the distance, we hear the echoing roar of a Wookie, undoubtedly everyone’s favorite co-pilot, Chewie.

[10:32] It’s not just friends wandering the Outpost; fiendish Forces are awake here on Batuu as well. Whether alerted to our presence or not remains to be seen.

[10:53] For now, we are swept up in the commotion of barterers and traders, all moving with purpose as dusk descends on this corner of the galaxy.

[16:14] It's hard not to feel the energy and power that this place embodies. Forces of nature live and move here, humble and quiet paradoxes to their relative strength and potential. The kinesis extends through the structures, the music, the wind whipping through alleyways and at the hems of Jedi robes.

[18:37] Amidst the bustling and bristling of Black Spire Outpost, we are not alone in our nonchalant attempts to surreptitiously dodge random interrogation from a Stormtrooper. We blend in with our surroundings.

[22:16] We are immersed in the stories that breathe from every orifice; even the stone walls seem to speak of legend. It is the Force, alive and breathing in the spirits of those of us who journey here, searching for enlightenment, a fantastical tale longing to be retold.

[25:28] The Force is a source of energy and power, certainly, but we know that it is also a source of inner peace and serenity in equal measure. Balance is light and dark together, mayhem and mild in harmonious coexistence.

[26:23] And what a peaceful moment we've found, as nightfall brings a whole new symphony of sounds, some familiar and some...intriguing. The chirp of crickets, unseen creatures calling into the night, the clang and grind of moonlit repairs on that scrap metal hunka junk parked at the center of the Outpost.

[27:48] Every step we take turns our head in a new direction. Around corners, over our shoulder...what was that?

This is the chaos of Batuu - the bated breath of the unknown, the galaxy reaching for some sense of tranquility before morning brings a new raucousness of its own.

Come with us, be Here as we uncover its secrets and delight in all the details.

[34:00] Hear the foreboding chime of midnight bells reverberating across the galaxy, a call to something, but what? Staccato percussions chill us to the bone, though we have no idea why.

We are suddenly engaged in the space between the tangible and intangible, the everyday and the enchanting.

[38:04] Not all is quiet on Batuu, even as the darkness presses in and the night lingers on. As we stand fascinated at this spiritual concerto we've stumbled upon, in another part of the Outpost is a late night celebration at Oga’s, the local watering hole for an array of the most curious characters.

[38:23] Loud music and light spill from inside as we approach; clearly the party inside is fin full swing. It is a technicolor affair, DJ'd by Rex, a droid that would probably be the life the party on any planet.

Let's spend a few moments here, why not? Find yourself swaying in time to the bright jazz music as you sip on an iridescent libation.

[41:45] Then it's back out into the mysterious night.

[49:00] And so our journey through Galaxy's Edge is brought to a close, as night will surely surrender to first light soon enough.

Thank you for wandering with us, for traveling to this galaxy far, far away.

We hope you've enjoyed your time Here, that it's brought you excitement and joy and even a sense of peace, strange as it sounds.

After all, the most unlikely places can be a respite from your everyday.

Now light speed to tomorrow, and all the adventures it's sure to bring.

Til’ the Spire, and May the Force Be With You.
