Next yr, Disney will reveal probably the most authentic-trying real-world Star Wars lightsaber but, and a brand new video simply revealed our greatest look so far.

Earlier this yr, buzz started that Disney was engaged on what followers rapidly known as a “real-life lightsaber.” Not as a result of it had a kyber crystal inside and will flip a tauntaun right into a sleeping bag with one fast stroke, however as a result of a blade of sunshine prolonged out of a hilt by itself, trying nearly as life like because it did within the Star Wars movies. (Not an precise blade of sunshine, however one thing that appears higher than an enormous lightbulb you lock into one thing, like most different saber replicas.)

When the primary video of the saber was launched a month later, it was introduced this “real-life” saber was more likely to debut at Walt Disney World’s Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, an immersive, hotel-like Star Wars expertise anticipated to open in 2022. (More on that in a second.) Now although, a really cool video from Walt Disney Imagineering has a brand new have a look at the saber (you possibly can see it within the GIF above) and although it’s just for a second, it’s really superb. Here’s the total video; the massive reveal comes 44 seconds in.

Whoomp, there it’s. Lots of cool stuff in that video past simply the Star Wars issues, such because the animatronic Groot and a look contained in the Web-Slingers journey. But, let’s face it, it’s all concerning the saber.

The difficulty with the saber is, if it’s solely going to be in Galactic Starcruiser, it’s gonna be some time earlier than most of us get our palms on one. As revealed earlier in the present day, Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser goes to be very, very, very costly even earlier than you get on board—which is the place, hypothetically, you’d have an opportunity to purchase one. Or possibly simply use one and return it. We don’t know.

What we expect, although, is that this know-how is simply too cool to restrict to a couple hundred wealthy individuals each two days. Even if it takes months or years, followers will ultimately be capable of get their palms on one and reside out all their Star Wars lightsaber fantasies. If that occurs, will you be including one to your assortment?
