A PIRATE'S ADVENTURE:

DISNEY'S HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS:

STAR WARS DATAPAD:

Soon after you arrive to the planet Batuu, you’ll be able to transform the Play Disney Parks app into your Star Wars: Datapad—designed to guide you deeper and deeper into an adventure in a galaxy far, far away.

Whether you’re interacting with droids, scanning crates or tuning into transmissions, the Play Disney Parks app will be a vital tool when it comes to living your own Star Wars story!


Once you activate the Star Wars: Datapad, you’ll find many tools at your disposal for exploring the planet Batuu:

Translate a variety of languages from across the galaxy—including Aurebesh signs throughout Black Spire Outpost.

Scan objects all around the spaceport to discover precious cargo. 

Tune and decrypt communications sent by the planet’s many residents.

Use the Star Wars: Datapad to hack into—and interact with—select devices, control panels and droids.


Take on Jobs to Help Outpost Residents

As you hack, scan, translate and tune through Black Spire Outpost, you’ll have the chance to complete jobs for its many residents and off-worlders alike! With each job you complete, you’ll collect digital rewards in return—like ship schematics, star maps, galactic credits and more.


Choose a Side During “Outpost Control”

The First Order has begun installing a surveillance system on door control panels… but the Resistance wants to defend Black Spire Outpost—and stay under the radar! 

Using the Star Wars: Datapad, join fellow travelers to Batuu and assist either side as they vie for a hold on the Outpost. Winners may even find themselves rewarded with credits for their efforts!

Will you pledge your loyalty to the First Order? Will you support the Resistance? Or will you strike out on your own as a scoundrel? The choice is yours…


Star Wars

Choose a side and help your faction in the battle between the Resistance and the First Order. Join the recruit line at Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance and take on jobs that support your cause.

Resistance supporters guide Finn through a First Order Star Destroyer, free his captured team members from the detention cell, reprogram droids onboard the ship and wipe the Star Destroyer's databanks of Resistance intelligence.

First Order loyalists infiltrate the recruit line and use their datapads to collect intelligence on Resistance movements and supplies, report intercepted transmissions and plant tracking devices—so the First Order can intercept the Resistance on their way to their base elsewhere in the galaxy.


Millennium Falcon

While waiting to board the most famous ship in the galaxy at Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, you can even take on a job for Hondo Ohnaka—the pirate turned “legitimate” businessman who operates Ohnaka Transport Solutions out of Black Spire Outpost.

Reroute misplaced cargo, learn how to keep your cover under pressure… and help prep the Falcon for your flight!
