Have you felt the shift in the force at Disneyland and Disney World? Galaxy’s Edge is arguably the most immersive experience you’ll get at the Disney Parks. The sights and sounds, the attractions, and the characters all make you feel like you’re in a Star Wars movie. On top of that, you can actually build a lightsaber and become a Jedi.
Lighting up the night with lightsabers
Speaking of which, Disney just dropped new lightsaber chassis and blade enhancements for Savi’s Workshop at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disneyland Park, with some unique effects and upgrades.
When visiting Galaxy’s Edge, you can check out Savi’s Workshop, where guests can fulfill their dream of building a custom lightsaber. Some new stuff has arrived at the workshop in both Disneyland and Disney World. We’re talking new features for what the lightsaber can do and how it looks.
Savi’s Workshop
Disney says it has enhanced each lightsaber chassis and blade, no matter the hilt theme. The brand-new features include a thermal cutting effect, a spinning effect, and deflection effects. On top of that, the lightsabers will now have upgraded audio quality and smoother blade activation.
Gatherer in Savi’s Workshop
There’s one more new feature to talk about, and it’s the color-change effect. Disney says that pairing a lightsaber with special “cracked” kyber crystals will unlock it with a quick flick of the wrist. The new effect is supposed to display the battle inside the saber between the light side and the dark side.
Building a lightsaber!
Disney also added a new white and gold Protection and Defense hilt to the lineup. Disney describes the theme as a reflection of “a time when the Order stood as a symbol of peace and hope across the galaxy.” The design of the white and gold is stunning, and we could see Star Wars fans who love the era of the High Republic wanting to get their hands on this hilt.
