Disney Dreamlight Valley is doing things a bit differently now. Eh, since 2022, when it first let folks in—only characters from Walt Disney Animation and Pixar made the cut. Yep, all those usual suspects. But hey, guess what? Star Wars is barging in! On April 23, this Wonderland Whimsy Update thing drops and bam, new Star Wars stuff in the Premium Shop.
I mean, sure, before this, they tossed in bits from Disney Channel flicks or the parks, but THIS? This is what players drooled over. Well, some are buzzing about it, while others are like… “Hmm, what’s next for the game? Is it good or grim?”
So, you peek at the Premium Shop, and there’s so much more than the Wonderland Whimsy trailer teased. Jedi robes? Yep. Lightsaber you can pose with? Oh yeah, and say hi to your tiny buddy, R2-D2. Didn’t see that coming, did ya? The Naboo Villa Bundle sneaked in too—fancy house Dreamstyle, wallpaper, flooring… it’s got the whole shebang. And furniture! Holotables and cozy things. Feels like they’re setting the stage for even more Star Wars leaps and bounds in Dreamlight Valley.
Star Wars just… fits here, you know? It’s like these characters have their tales of yore in the game. Think about it, you get to use magic and nostalgia—real childhood memories—to save the day, pulling everyone out of the Forgetting mess. It’s wild. The Forgotten is like this bizarro-version of you, the player, all tangled up in their sad little history. You bump into them, sort things out, and poof, the valley’s healing. They’re the big cheese in Act 1, but then—they kinda vanish.
Star Wars vibes just gel with this lore better than MCU stuff, honestly. Way more people get the warm and fuzzies from Star Wars, especially those with a soft spot for Disney stuff. MCU? It’s cool, but doesn’t have that long-winded lore of the books. People see MCU and think flashy movies, not comic tomes, right? So, Star Wars characters—definitely a better fit for now, while folks still cross their fingers for some cool Marvel stuff to wear or use. Looks like Dreamlight Valley’s all about that nostalgia trip.
