Disney had been indicating that this would be a premium experience and premium product, but this price point came in way over what I had naively been anticipating. No annual passholder discount could be applied. “ They’re charging what for a lightsaber?” That was my initial reaction when I read that the Savi’s Workshop custom lightsaber building experience at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland and Walt Disney World would cost $199.99 plus tax. This was a piece of the Star Wars saga that I could call my own. Even though it was basically a themed flashlight with a plastic cone on top, this became my most treasured possession. They bought me a toy version of Luke Skywalker’s green lightsaber from Return of the Jedi. During our routine perusing of Tatooine Traders, my parents did something very special. From there, everyone triumphantly lifts their newly build saber into the air, finishing the experience on an emotional high note.Around 1996, I remember riding Star Tours at Disney’s MGM Studios. Once guests have assembled their hilt, the experience concludes with a genuinely spine-tingling ethereal cameo from a legendary Star Wars character we won’t spoil here, and the Gatherers activating each guest’s newly constructed lightsaber by plugging it into their blade. You can build your saber however you’d like! For example, the rancor tooth pommel cap of the Elemental Nature sabres has been replaced with a bantha tusk cap. It’s worth noting here that if you haven’t been to Galaxy’s Edge in a while that the lightsaber customization options have changed. They’re presented with a hilt, four sleeves (of which they’ll pick two), two emitters (of which they’ll pick one), two pommel caps (of which they’ll also pick one), and two sets of activation plates and switches (of which they’ll select pick one set). Next, guests choose “scrap metal” parts specific to their theme. You can swap out the crystal, and in turn change the color of your blade anytime you choose. The remaining colors – as well as additional colors including yellow and black - are available for sale next door at Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities. If you’re having trouble choosing a Kyber Crystal color or can’t seem to choose between two, don’t fret. Available colors within the experience are red (like Sith including Darth Vader or Kylo Ren), green (Jedi including Luke Skywalker and Qui-Gon Jin), violet (Mace Windu), or blue (Obi-wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Rey). Once within Savi’s workshop, guests are able to choose the Kyber Crystal which will be the heart - and provide the blade-color - of their lightsaber. Guests choose one of the themes - and can look various examples provided by a Gatherer (cast member) - and then are then given a pin representing which theme they’ve chosen and then ushered in to the experience. Elemental Nature This theme embodies the Force-an energy created by all living things, like Brylark trees, Cartusion whale bones and Rancor teeth. Protection and Defense Hilt materials bear mysterious motifs and inscriptions that reconnect users with the ancient wellspring of the Force. Power and Control Originally forged by dark side warriors, this style features rumored remnants from the Sith home world and abandoned temples. Peace and Justice: Salvaged scraps from fallen Jedi temples and crashed starships in these Republic-era designs honor the galaxy’s former guardians. After checking in - and paying the $249.00 plus tax the experience costs - you’ll be presented with a breakdown of available lightsaber themes: Once it’s time to check in, head to the location in the middle of Galaxy’s Edge. So before we dive into the specific lightsaber options available at Savi’s, let’s do a quick run through of the basics: First, to build a lightsaber you’ll most likely need to make a reservation beforehand. Fear not however, the Force is with you today as we’ve assembled the ultimate guide to every custom lightsaber option at Galaxy’s Edge. However, it can also be overwhelming, given the sheer amount of options provided. The experience of constructing a custom version of the most iconic weapon of the Star Wars universe has become an expensive must-do for any fan visiting Walt Disney World’s Hollywood Studios or Disneyland. However, there’s been one element of Galaxy’s Edge that’s stood above the rest: building one’s own lightsaber at Savi’s Workshop. Since Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opened in 2019, many guests have fallen in love with the land thanks to heavily-themed Star Wars experiences ranging from flying the Millennium Falcon on Smuggler’s Run to drinking blue milk.
