Phrases From Galaxy’s Edge: How To Speak Like A Batuu Native

 Source: Disney / LucasFilm

Visiting Galaxy’s Edge is unlike any other part of Disneyland; when you arrive, you leave earth and head to the planet of Batuu. You won’t encounter cast members, just villagers trying to make a living. And you’ll hear them use some Batuuese phrases that sound a little strange the first time you hear them.

Here are the basics of the land’s setup: you’re in the Black Spire Outpost, a village on the planet Batuu. The First Order controls part of the Outpost, but not all of it, so you’ll find villagers are split in loyalty between the First Order and the Resistance. In fact, some of the language they use might clue you in. So be careful which phrases you choose to reply with…you don’t want to start any trouble if you’re on the opposing side.
