Over the weekend, the First Order Cargo shop closed at Galaxy’s Edge (Batuu West) in preparation for the timeline expansion on April 29th. I was there about a week ago and witnessed a plethora of Darth Vader merchandise, which you can see here. It was evident that they're getting ready for Vader's arrival!
The shop will be renamed Black Spire Surplus, which will carry a wide variety of artifacts from different eras and factions, including Rebel, Imperial, and beyond! Below, you'll find the new backstory for the shop, which I absolutely love!
Recently, two retired Clones made their way to Batuu and set up shop. The brothers fought together during The Clone Wars and kind of opposite each other in the war against the Empire with one of them fighting for the Rebels and the other fighting for the Empire. Now, they’re back together, you know, post-retirement trying to set their differences aside.
