Disney Adds Shade Canopies Near Savi’s Workshop at Galaxy’s Edge

The shade structures signal guest comfort upgrades during a quiet refresh of Batuu.

Overview

  • New overhead canopies now cover the courtyard next to Savi’s Workshop in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
  • The fabric panels span between tall poles to shade areas that umbrellas and awnings left exposed to the sun.
  • The project has sat behind construction walls and scrim since last August without any public explanation from Walt Disney World.
  • Savi’s Workshop, the build‑your‑own lightsaber experience, remains open during the work and still requires reservations.
  • The update tracks with a planned story shift that will split Batuu between the sequel era and the original trilogy, starting at Disneyland in late April with Walt Disney World’s date still unannounced.
