I will be frank with you I am not a die hard Star Wars fan. When they officially announced the expansion of the parks to include Star Wars Galaxy's Edge I was happy to see new things coming to the parks but not to the extent I saw many others. I enjoy the Star Wars movies and I go to them on opening day because my husband is the die-hard fan of this relationship. However, I want to share one cool Star Wars Galaxy's Edge find I did come across the Loth Cat plush! I am often classified as a crazy cat lady so I am sure this comes as no surprise.
What is a Loth Cat?
If you had asked me before visiting Galaxy's Edge, I would have guessed the Loth-cat was something dreamed up specifically for Batuu. I would have been completely wrong. The Loth-cat is actually a creature that first appeared in the animated series Star Wars Rebels back in 2014, living on the grassy plains of Lothal, Ezra Bridger's home planet. According to the tag on the plush, the Loth-cat is a wild relative of the Tooka, a species popular as pets across many worlds. They hunt loth-rats in the grasslands, and while they can be friendly at times, they are still very capable hunters with sharp teeth and claws.
Since those early Rebels days, the Loth-cat has popped up across the Star Wars universe more and more. If you watch The Mandalorian, keep your eyes open during the episode "Chapter 4: Sanctuary" when Mando and Grogu pass through a village and Grogu gets a little too close to one of these feisty creatures. It is so quick you will absolutely miss it on your first watch, which is just one more excuse to rewatch the entire series. This is the way.
More recently, Loth-cats took on an even bigger role in Star Wars: Ahsoka on Disney+. Sabine Wren's beloved pet Loth-cat, Murley, became a fan favorite almost immediately thanks to his signature frown, spotted brown fur, and mischievous personality. And if you have been watching Andor Season 2, there is a blink-and-you-miss-it moment in Episode 10 where a passerby is walking a Loth-cat named Pix, who wanders up to a body on a bench. It is a gut-punch of a scene, and the Loth-cat somehow makes it hit even harder. The writers absolutely knew what they were doing there.
Big news for Loth-cat fans coming down the pipeline: during Star Wars Celebration Japan in April 2025, Rebels and Ahsoka creator Dave Filoni confirmed that Murley will return in Ahsoka Season 2, along with the introduction of Loth kittens. Ahsoka Tano actress Rosario Dawson described the young ones as "little Loth balls" since they are not yet able to walk and instead roll around. I am not okay.
Where to Buy a Loth Cat Plush
If you want to adopt your very own Loth-cat to bring back to Earth with you, head straight to the Creature Stall in the Black Spire Outpost Marketplace at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. The interactive plush retails for $49.99 and is battery-operated with touch-activated sounds. Pet it gently and it will purr. Push its front legs forward and it will open its mouth and hiss. It is honestly very convincing, especially if you are already a cat person.
This original plush is based on the Rebels-era design, but Disney has since released a brand new version inspired specifically by Murley from Ahsoka. The upgraded Galactic Archive Series Loth-cat launched on Life Day, November 17, 2025, and is available both at the Disney Parks and on DisneyStore.com. This newer version is significantly more screen-accurate, with poseable legs, overmolded ankle joints, full head and mouth movement, and poseable head spikes and tail. According to the designer, Alex Wilde, the touch activation is triggered by petting the Loth-cat on its back or head, and its reaction changes depending on whether it is sitting or standing. If you pet it while it is lying down, it will purr. If you pet it while it is standing, expect a growl. A little fun fact, the sound files were sourced from both Star Wars Rebels and Ahsoka to make it as authentic as possible. It also comes in a space kennel-inspired box, which makes it feel like you are genuinely adopting a creature from Batuu.
Video of Sleeping Lot-Cat
Inside the marketplace stalls on Batuu is a gorgeous sleeping Loth cat! Watch the video below to get a peek at this creature. The Loth cat is very reminiscent of my house cats, lazy loaves. Basically, they spend their days sleeping and cuddling up with each other. This Loth cat doesn't have another cat to snuggle with so it instead has an adorable tiny Porg doll!
Hidden Loth Cats
While you are exploring the marketplace, do not just walk past the woodworker's station. It is located directly across from the bathrooms in that area, and if you look closely, you will spot several Loth-cats carved right into the wood sculptures. It is one of those small details that makes Galaxy's Edge feel so immersive. How many can you find?
Loth Cat Mug
Cat lovers, this one is for you. Head over to Oga's Cantina, and you can pick up an adorable grinning Loth-cat mug that debuted in June 2024. It retails for $36 and honestly looks great on a shelf even if you never put a drink in it. The grin on this little guy is wildly expressive and I would argue it belongs in every cat lover's collection regardless of Star Wars affinity.
Loth-Cat Shirts
If you want to rep your Loth-cat love beyond the parks, the artists over at TeePublic have you covered. There are two fun designs worth checking out: a Space Cats tee and a Space Kitties design, both of which are also available as mugs, phone cases, stickers, and more. They are a great way to show off your Star Wars fandom in a way that is also very much cat person energy.
Space Cats T-Shirt can be purchased here. This same design is also available as a coffee mug, phone case, stickers and more!
Space Kitties to the rescue! If this doesn't brighten up your day I am not sure what will! You can shop for the tee above here. Plus this one is also available as a coffee mug, phone case, stickers and more!
Final Thoughts on the Loth-Cat at Galaxy's Edge
Whether you are a lifelong Star Wars fan or you are visiting Galaxy's Edge primarily because your spouse made you, the Loth-cat is one of those purchases that transcends fandom. It is cute, it is interactive, and with the new Galactic Archive Murley plush now available, there has genuinely never been a better version of this creature to bring home. Between Ahsoka Season 2 on the horizon and the Loth-cat showing up across the Star Wars universe, these little guys are having a real moment right now. Do not let your visit to Batuu end without stopping by the Creature Stall.
I have been visiting the parks annually since my parents first brought me at just a year old. Recently I was able to fulfill my life long dream of being a Florida local and moved from the wintery Northeast to the sunshine and fun of central Florida. Now I am hoping to share my Disney knowledge with you so you can have the best vacation possible!
