BDX Droids: What to Expect
The BDX droids were first teased during Disney park events last year, showcasing their ability to navigate environments, interact with guests, and add a dynamic presence to Star Wars-themed areas. While specific details about their programming and functions remain under wraps, these droids are expected to expand upon the interactive elements already found in Batuu and other Star Wars attractions.
With their sleek design and expressive capabilities, the BDX droids are shaping up to be one of the most impressive and adorable additions to Disney’s theme park technology. Unlike static animatronics or scheduled character appearances, these droids will roam freely, allowing for more organic guest interactions.

Where Will You Find the BDX Droids?
This rollout represents a significant leap in Disney’s implementation of autonomous character technology. Past efforts have included interactive droids like R2-D2 and walking characters such as the Hulk in Avengers Campus, but the BDX units appear to take live, unscripted guest interactions to the next level.
If successful, these droids could pave the way for even more autonomous, free-roaming characters across Disney parks, deepening the immersive storytelling that has become a hallmark of the brand. The company also announced that the BDX droids will make an appearance in the upcoming film Mandalorian and Grogu, which is set to release in theatres on May 22, 2026.
