The Salvaged Protocol Droid Bucket has arrived at Disney's Hollywood Studios for Star Wars Day on May the 4th, bringing the collectible popcorn container to Walt Disney World after its initial release at Disneyland.
What is the Salvaged Protocol Droid Bucket?
The bucket resembles a silver protocol droid similar to C-3PO, complete with weathered details including dents and rust spots to create an authentic 'salvaged' appearance. The hollow head serves as the popcorn storage compartment, with the top opening to access the contents.
Interactive features include light-up eyes with three different modes: blinking, flickering, and steady illumination. A detachable brown textured simulated leather strap is included with the bucket.
Where can guests buy the Star Wars Day popcorn bucket at Disney Hollywood Studios?
The C-3PO protocol droid bucket is available at multiple locations throughout the park. Guests can purchase it at Ice Cold Hydraulics, Hollywood Hills Amphitheatre Refreshments, and the Popcorn Cart near Centre Stage.
The bucket is also available through Mobile Order for added convenience during busy park days.
How much does the Disney World Star Wars popcorn bucket cost?
The Salvaged Protocol Droid Bucket is priced at $29 (approximately £23) and comes filled with spicy cheese popcorn. Standard Disney discounts do not apply to this purchase.
Disney has imposed a limit of two buckets per person, per transaction, likely due to the collectible nature of the item and anticipated demand from Star Wars fans.
How long will the bucket be available?
Disney has not confirmed how long the Salvaged Protocol Droid Bucket will remain available at Disney's Hollywood Studios beyond its Star Wars Day launch. The total quantity available is also unconfirmed.
Given the popularity of limited-edition popcorn buckets at Disney parks, particularly Star Wars-themed items, guests interested in purchasing the Salvaged Protocol Droid Bucket may want to visit Disney's Hollywood Studios sooner rather than later.
