The “Star Wars” build-your-own lightsaber experience at Disneyland Resort has all new parts. In this experience, guests can make a relatively cheap plastic lightsaber. It’s different from the more expensive and immersive Savi’s Workshop Handbuilt Lightsabers experience in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
Build-Your-Own Lightsaber
We visited the build-your-own lightsaber station in The Star Trader at Disneyland but the new parts are also available at Star Wars Trading Post in Downtown Disney District.
The new parts have replaced all of the previous options. Prices are listed at the ends of the station.
- Single lightsaber – $34.99
- Deluxe single lightsaber – $39.99
- Double lightsaber – $49.99
- Deluxe double lightsaber – $59.99
Deluxe means two small blades stick out of the hilt, like Kylo Ren’s lightsaber.
Steps to the experience are outlined on the station so guests can complete the experience on their own.
- Choose end cap (for single lightsaber) or adapter (for a double-bladed lightsaber)
- Choose chassis with blade color
- Choose activation switch
- Choose sleeve
- Choose emitter (standard or deluxe)
The bins are supposed to be organized by part, but items can end up in the wrong bin as guests mix and match. See all the new pieces below. (Note the individual photos are from Walt Disney World Resort but the pieces are the same.)
End Caps
There are five end caps available. This one is silver with a red end.
This cap looks like brown wood with a black knob and gold accents.
Another silver-gray end cap has a black stripe near the base.
This one is similar to the previous end cap but is completely silver-gray.
The last end cap is a black cylinder.
Adapter
There is only one adapter option for a double-bladed lightsaber. It’s silver with a black grip and two red buttons.
Chassis with Blade
Each chassis is silver-gray with intricate tech designs. You can identify the blade color by looking into the chassis or with the ring on the side.
Other than the blade color and matching ring, each chassis has the same design.
The available colors are red, purple, green, white, blue, and yellow.
Activation Switches
The activation switch comes next. This is how you turn on your lightsaber. This first switch is red and comes on a black sleeve with silver rings.
This switch is gold on a fake wooden sleeve.
A red rectangular switch comes on a silver sleeve with black detailing.
A yellow-gold switch is on a silver-gray sleeve.
The last new switch is a silver toggle with a red center. The sleeve is silver with two red stripes.
Sleeves
There are five new sleeves, which are extra decorations for your lightsaber.
You may notice that many of the pieces match. This sleeve has a wood finish with gold accents like one of the end caps and switches.
This sleeve is a textured black with silver ends.
Another sleeve is made of black rings with two red rings on the ends.
This sleeve is inspired by Rey’s staff and lightsaber. It’s silver with tan wrappings around the center.
The last sleeve is silver with textured rings on one half.
Regular Emitters
There are five regular emitters, which is where the blade comes out.
There’s a wood and gold one.
This one is silver with a wider end and black accents.
This emitter is mostly black, with two claw-like pieces on the sides. The ends are silver and there’s one red ring.
This emitter is gray, silver, and gold.
This one is silver with a red end. It’s nearly identical to one of the end caps.
Deluxe Emitters
Deluxe emitters provide a broadsword effect similar to Kylo Ren’s lightsaber.
One deluxe emitter has golden arms reaching out of a silver center with a black ring.
We found versions of this deluxe emitter with blue and yellow side blades. Both of these appear to be High Republic-era lightsaber emitters.
This deluxe emitter also comes with several different blade colors. It’s mostly silver with a black base.
Battery packs for the side blades are on the backs of the emitters.
We found this one available with purple, red, and green blades.
This deluxe emitter has two circular pieces jutting out from the central sleeve. It’s mostly silver with black accents and red fake buttons in the center.
This is a black version of the emitter above with red accents.
Sith or Jedi?
At the end of the build-your-own lightsaber experience, guests pick the Sith or the Jedi and take the corresponding oath. Cast Members give guests a copy of the oath, which also comes with a black belt clip for your lightsaber.
