If you’ve ever wanted to join the Rebel Alliance or the Jedi Order… Well, you may not be able to do that in reality. But we’ve got the next best thing. As exclusively leaked to Comic Book Club, there are plans in the works for officially licensed Star Wars ID photo booths that will identify you as a Galactic Outlaw/Bounty Hunter, Jedi Master, or X-Wing Pilot.
How did we get this info? After visiting our source who goes by the codename Jack McQuack (or Deepthroat the leaker) in a shady cantina, he (or she??) leaked us the news that Apple Industries, the folks behind popular custom photo booths like the Marvel Adventure Lab — which puts fans inside a Marvel comic cover or custom page — or the Disney photo booth — which adds Disney characters like Jack Skellington, Stitch, or Olaf — have also been hard at work on a Star Wars booth.
The closer comp to what to expect from these new Star Wars booths are what’s currently available at the Apple Industries created booth in Autopia, where you can get a custom “driver’s license” in the Tomorrowland section of Disneyland in California. That license costs $10, and includes your own photo and the date of your visit. Based on demo photos provided to Comic Book Club, at least currently the main customization of the Star Wars IDs is your photo, as well as choosing one of three factions — though at least with the X-Wing flight officer ID it looks like you can add a flight suit overlay, so perhaps more to come in the other two, as well.
We’ve also heard that additional ideas have been thrown out there and run by Lucasfilm, from an AR hologram that shows a “bounty” like on The Mandalorian, to the ability to rank up your ID — say, from Youngling to Jedi Master, versus sitting on the Jedi Council with Yoda your first time out. And to be fair, we’ve seen what happens when someone starts late and jumps the line too quickly, cough, Anakin, cough, cough. But those may just have been early ideas in the brainstorming phase, and won’t be seen in the final product.
While the Star Wars photo booth is still in active development, and there are no announced plans to add it to — random example here — Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland or Disney World, those might be places this sort of thing could pop up, just spitballing, attendees at the IAAPA Expo, which runs November 17-21 in Orlando, can get a preview of what to expect from the booths.
You can check out a snap of the demo versions of the IDs exclusively slipped to Comic Book Club below, and just know that many Bothans died to bring you this information.
