Travelers to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge will be able to interact with the land on their Star Wars: Datapad through the Play Disney Parks mobile app. Visitors will be able to turn their mobile device into their own Datapad and will find several tools to use while exploring the planet Batuu. Let's look at some of the features of the new Datapad through the Play Disney Parks app.
Hacking Feature - interact with certain door panels or droids to see their memories
Scanning Tool - peek inside of cargo crates you may spot while walking around
Translation Tool - help you understand Aurebesh (the written language of the Star Wars galaxy) signs throughout Black Spire Outpost
Tuning Feature - tap into and decrypt signals from antennas or communications devices and listen to secret messages
The First Order is trying to install surveillance devices to spy on the Resistance and you can use your Datapad to join in “Outpost Control,” a landwide game, and choose to support either side as they vie for a hold on the land. Winners may even find themselves rewarded with galactic credits.
You can continue your adventure in line at Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, as you are getting ready to board, you can take on a job for Hondo Ohnaka, the pirate turned “legitimate” businessman operating Ohnaka Transport Solutions.
