There’s nothing new here, but it’s nice every once in a while to notice the smaller details that we so often take for granted, like this iridescent paint that changes color when the sun catches it just right. It’s so beautiful. If we only run from one place to the next to hit rides and grab merchandise, we miss a lot of the beauty that makes this place magical.

Okay, back at it. These new “toothpick holders” from Droid Depot in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge feature some of the biggest droid manufacturing companies. And, of course, you’d only ever use these small glasses to keep your toothpicks in, right?
![PHOTO REPORT: Disney California Adventure and Disneyland (8/30/21): Mickey Pumpkin, Haul-o-Ween Decorations, Ghirardelli Sundaes, and More 57 R-2 hat 3](https://media.wdwnt.com/2021/08/20210830_145310-6438355-1200x900.jpg)
A pair of new hats at Droid Depot feel very futuristic, despite being from “a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.” A rechargeable light-up astromech droid hat and a light-reflective Droid Depot ballcap are just unique enough to justify their hefty price tags.
