Building a Lightsaber at Savi's Workshop 2022 4K - Galaxy's Edge, Disney World FULL EXPERIENCE

May the 4th be with you! Recently I was with the family in Florida and my daughter and I built custom lightsabers at Savi's Workshop. It was great fun! The collector who walked us through the process was really good. After the experience, we went over to Doc-Ondar's to get some accessories. Doc-Ondar is one of the best animatronics that I've ever seen. I have a great shot of him at the end of this video.

[@corujabiruta3732]

Yeah, but it is not just that, they look... toyish. Like plastic painted. I know that is verry much Ironic, but we don't want our lightsabers to look like toys 😂

[@JokerGaming-iv1tm]

I M THE SITH I WANT RED CRYSTAL i would be mad if there were no red lightsaber crystals left. If someone took all the red crystals i would be really mad.

[@priyonjoni]

These gatherer hosts would make great officiants at Star Wars weddings!

[@DennisAwayFromHome]

That’d be really cool

[@Scifidude1]

I built my lightsaber last week at Savi's in Orlando. I chose green in honor of Luke Skywalker and Master Yoda, my hilt was the Peace And Justice model. I was surprised by how heavy it was.

[@DennisAwayFromHome]

I chose green too! Yeah they are surprisingly heavy. Sometime looking at them you might think that they are plastic, but once you pick it up, they are heavy and solid metal. Nice. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@dakela6172]

Do they have the carrying case back yet?

[@DennisAroundtheHouse]

@@dakela6172 this was recorded back in March. Before we went I heard that Disney World was out of the bags, but when I was there they had them. So I’d assume that both parks have the bags in again, but it probably wouldn’t hurt to double check with someone who was there more recently.

[@Scifidude1]

@@dakela6172 Yes

[@mr_talls]

Are they still giving out the plastic bags for them or are they back to the fabric ones?

[@jak3y3]

I tried to go and do this a couple days ago when I visited Galaxy’s Edge and the staff told me it was a reservation only experience, when I did research and it never said that on the website… so I bought Dooku’s instead and I’ll make a reservation next time I go, but it was soul crushing because they could have said that on the website or put up a sign or something at least

[@DennisAwayFromHome]

So sorry to hear that! Yes it is a reservation only experience, much like their premium dining, etc. here is the website where you can check availability and make your reservation: disneyland.disney.go.com/shops/disneyland/savis-workshop-handbuilt-lightsabers/

[@jak3y3]

@@DennisAwayFromHome I thought the check availability was the times it was open and closed, not reservations, they really could have made it more obvious, but thank you for the link

[@DennisAwayFromHome]

Yeah I agree. It seems like they need to provide training on just attending the parks with how complicated things are getting, with reservations for the park, and experiences, and Genie+, Lightning Lanes, etc. it’s rarely obvious.

[@helenalazaro5592]

Hello Dennis, but that link is to reserve at Disneyland Park in California, can you put the link to reserve at Disney World in Florida? I can't find it... Thank you very much

[@starwarsnerd100]

Sorry dude, but that's at least partially on you. They *did* say it on the website, you just missed it. Below the "check availability" section is "Know before you go" and it lists reservation guidelines. You say you did "research", did you only look on the official site? Because there are plenty of guides/reviews written by others that talk about how to get a lightsaber. Some of this stuff can be confusing (especially the Rise of the Resistance ride and how to do a virtual queue), and they could have made the website a bit more obvious. But the info was there, and now you know for next time to double check the availability of certain things.

[@Jedi_flodux]

I hope they add some new parts eventually! Loved the experience

[@DennisAwayFromHome]

I’ve hear rumors that new parts are in the works!

one day I hope to take my kid there and get us both a saber made, but as it sits right now I can't even afford a $75 dollar grab bag from ultrasabers. Sucks man, you make it look absolutely magical

Thanks! Well, I didn’t do much other than have my wife film it. It’s great fun, though. Im sure it’ll be around for a long time and I bet when you are able to do it they will have added to it and it’ll be even better!

[@misterfedorattv]

@@DennisAwayFromHome I'm sure hoping so! Did you build a droid too?

[@DennisAwayFromHome]

No, not yet. I have an R2 and BB-8 from Sphero and haven’t quite been tempted enough to build one. Got close the last time I was there, though, so I might next time I go. They sell an upgraded R2 dome that’s made out of metal and lights up that looks really cool. I might go that direction

[@DennisAwayFromHome]

Awesome! Yeah, it is so hard to decide. They are all so cool. I think I even heard that they are going to introduce some new designs. That will make it even harder to settle on one. Enjoy!

Seems like someone else has a flair for the elegant saber. that's almost the same type of saber I use in Jedi Fallen order, too bad I didn't notice the Jaro Tapal blade emitter... and it looks like I won't be getting the light-staff or dual wielding components either...

[@waldointheflesh9653]

I wish they picked a more open ended dialogue for some of their stuff. Its almost become just a giant ad for just rey. Like i wish they implimented more from the rest of the star wars universe and didnt hound so hard on the last three main titles. Id love to see some more prequel stuff. References as well as merch and attractions.

[@DennisAwayFromHome]

I think that’s bound to happen. With the sequel trilogy done and most of the attention shifting to the post Jedi era, I bet they’ll either open up the land to more time periods or do a time shift to earlier. They are already having Boba Fett wander around. Hopefully this will translate into some changes to this lightsaber building experience too.

[@gianmarcosardi7340]

wonderfull

[@tristenmaguire5707]

For $200+ I would have expected more options!

[@DennisAwayFromHome]

Yeah it would be nice to at lease have more than two options per part for the style you’ve chosen. I’m sure they are trying to make it go quickly, but there are only so many variations you can do with what they give you.

It seems the experience at Walt Disney World differ than that of the one at Disneyland. Hmmm, It is a popular thing to do! For those who complain, it’s an option, you don’t have to build it. If you want a prebuilt one, go to the Dok Ondar shop. Still some will complain, then just don’t bother or make your own at home. 🤫

[@DennisAwayFromHome]

Very true. It’s worth it for people who value the experience. Curious, you say they differ, but I’ve only done Disney World. What are some of the differences you’ve found?

I’ve never heard of anyone having a problem carrying these on planes. We flew home from Orlando with them just fine. I’m sure LAX would be the same.

[@thejurassicking3817]

To make it accurate to how to really make a lightsaber they should put us on a ice planet and get our own Krystal’s but that would be to expensive so Disney wouldn’t do it.

[@DennisAwayFromHome]

I've always wanted to vacation on Ilum!

[@firestorm210]

Does the color crystal also show what Hilt you will be getting or is the hilt just random?

[@DennisAwayFromHome]

There are 4 styles of Lightsabers. Peace and Justice, a more modern version of a Jedi Lightsaber, Elemental Nature, a more nature styled lightsaber, Protection and Defense, a more Old Republic style lightsaber, and lastly, Power and Control a more Ancient Sith lightsaber. You choose your saber before you go in and they give you a pin, that you can see on my shirt before we go in. They see your pin and give you the corresponding parts. The color of the crystal is your choice that you make in the moment.

i am planning on going down in oct of this year my stop is there to build my own light saber how much is the price the light saber?

[@DennisAwayFromHome]

It is $219 for the experience and the saber. You need a reservation and park admission as well.

[@MegaGaming11]

I am torn between the experience this offers and Saberforge. Saberforge is less pricey for about the same quality, depending on what you want. And as what I want is a canesaberstaff, the forge seems like a better option than the workshop. Problem being, I would rather have the aesthetics of the natural elements parts for the thing I want over the forge's stock industrial look.

[@DennisAwayFromHome]

Yeah, I understand. I guess it just all depends on what you’re after. If I was just buying a lightsaber, I’d pick out a saber that’s a replica of one from a character, like Luke’s lightsaber. But with Savi’s, it was the experience that really sold me on it, which was really cool. That along with the quality saber made the price right for me. But if all I wanted as a custom saber, I’d probably go somewhere else too.

[@MegaGaming11]

@@DennisAwayFromHome I don't think anything ever beats Savi's experience of building the lightsabers. It's ... out of my price range, unfortunately, entirely, because not only do you have to pay for the experience, you also have to pay to even get into the park, plus gas and food expenses. If money wasn't an issue, I'd gladly spend an entire day - or even week - exploring teh Galaxy's Edge stuff and doing all the activities it has to offer. But since we don't live in such an ideal world ... well. I'm stuck wanting a canesaberstaff. It'd be nice if - or when - I go and I detail exactly what I want to the employees, they were willing to reach out to Saberforge or even VFSabers and discuss with them about my particular design.

[@DennisAwayFromHome]

That’s pretty cool that that’s available. Yeah a trip to the Mouse House can really add up and not something that can really be done for a casual purchase. Totally get it. It’s cool that there are so many options for getting lightsabers nowadays. When I was a kid all I had was a yellow plastic Kenner lightsaber. I still loved it, though.

[@MegaGaming11]

@@DennisAwayFromHome Hey man, never count out the classics! I remember the older style of saber as well. However, doing serious combat with them was nigh impossible. I don't *think* Disney does collabs with other companies or people, even if it were requested, but hey, one can hope right?

[@amnasameer6229]

Is the disneyland one without reservation?

[@DennisAwayFromHome]

The Disneyland one requires a reservation as well. But I was there at the end of July and checked and I would have been able to get a reservation at least 2 days before if I wanted to. You may have a hard time with a same-day reservation, but you can get pretty close, I think.

[@amnasameer6229]

Ok thanks

[@JustinTheSavage1]

I have a question, do I have to make a reservation during that day earlier or days before I go to Disney? Do I have to pay first before going in or after?

[@DennisAwayFromHome]

You need to make a reservation a while in advance before going. I believe it’s up to 60 days before you go. I am going again in the end of July, and I just checked and there are no openings at Savi’s. I think reservations open up at 3am, 60 days in advance of the day you are targeting. People do cancel so it would be worth checking back. As for payment, you do need to provide a card to reserve but it won’t be charged. You can cancel a day in advance with no problem, but if you are a no-show, then they’ll charge your card for it. Hope that helps!

[@deeplyerring]

Are you able to have a guest if you’re an adult? My bff and I are going to Disney next month. She will happily join me for this experience but not willing to drop the $250 to build. I see a parent can accompany a child. We’re just 2 almost forty year old women trying to get away 😂

I agree with you that they kind of look cheap in images and stuff, but the parts are made out of steel and are really solid.

If two people were doing this, could we mix and match from both of our trays of parts?

I'm not sure. I believe the pieces would be interchangeable, so if you built separate sabers in the experience but then after the face swapped out some of the pieces, that would probably work. I think the threading on the pieces is all the same. I just don't know if they'd want to you do that in the experience. But also, they are fairly regimented in the way it goes so they may not take the time to tell you not to swap pieces.

How much that it costs?

[@DennisAwayFromHome]

It’s $219 for the experience which includes the lightsaber and blade. You also get a pin that matches the type of saber you’ve selected and a nice bag to carry it in.

@@kaimargonar1000 its an expirience, form the place, the actors, the lights, all combined to let you assamble your lightsaber, is not just about the saber, its also the expirience

[@DennisAwayFromHome]

No worries, I get it. But Jose is right, it is an experience. And actually if you go to Doc Ondar’s and buy a saber, most of them cost the same. They are replicas of character sabers, so that’s a bit different, but the Savi’s lightsabers have the kyber crystals that you can change out and change the color and sound. Pretty nice. Probably just depends on what you’re after

[@rumpelpumpel7687]

are the parts cast plastic or actual metal compnents? *edit; 220 $ for a children's toy? jeeeeeez - there are actual movie props out there with FX and whatnot, made from metal, with the finest of surfaces ... only ~50$ more ... disney is ripping you off, yet again ...

[@DennisAwayFromHome]

They are metal and very good quality. I’d compare them to the quality of the legacy lightsabers. Except these have interchangeable crystals that change the sound and color. They are very nice.

[@rumpelpumpel7687]

@@DennisAwayFromHome okay, well in that case i take back what i said. 😅 the single parts looked so thick and the surfaces kinda dull. I thought, this cant be metall. Well, maybe that was due to the dim light in the crafting shop 🤷

[@DennisAwayFromHome]

No worries! I thought the same thing when I first saw them. They are painted with a kind of metallic looking paint which I think makes them look like plastic, so I was also surprised when I heard they were metal.

[@chrisnavarro231]

I’ve been wanting to build my own saber since it opened, hopefully i have the chance this October 🔥🙏🏽

[@DennisAwayFromHome]

I'm sure you won't be disappointed! The experience is really cool. I had watched a few videos before I did it as well, and it didn't ruin it for me. It's especially nice since the cost of the saber is just about what one of the legacy light sabers cost, but you get the whole building experience to go along with it. Definitely cool!

4:51 was that a black kyber crystal i nthe savis cylinder or am I tripping?

[@DennisAwayFromHome]

It was not. It was just the shadow in an empty spot. I did however get a black Kyber Crystal at Doc Ondar’s afterwards, though! My daughter picked it for me. I was floored! I wasn’t even thinking that would be possible or else I would have been filming.

[@ryanhanlon9984]

Wait you got a black one by chance?!?! Are they still doing the “black is hidden in red” thing where if you buy red there is like a 1 in 100 shot at getting black or did they start just selling black?

[@garrettmgrantham]

I certainly get the appeal, but if I’m being honest, this feels like a medieval history buff’s first visit to Medieval Times, only without the cheesy charm. Tbh, I think I’d have a better opinion about it if it weren’t for the prohibitive price tag for this one day experience.

[@tonaldtuck1754]

Can you buy One whitout making it by yourself?

[@DennisAwayFromHome]

You can’t buy one of these custom sabers from Disney, but there are some people who sell them on eBay and Amazon, but for more money. For about the same price you can buy one of the legacy lightsabers that are replicas of character sabers and are really good quality too.

[@DennisAwayFromHome]

Sure. It was $219 per person. At least back in March. Not sure if they’ve changed it lately. Yeah, it’s nice that they let us film. Even for those who get to do it, it’s nice to relive it and see what others are like.

How much cost you make your lightsabers I need total and tax.

It looks like $219 is what was charged to my account when I did it. This was in Florida. I assume you pay that for the experience and you get the Saber. Doesn’t look like there was additional cost. Other than park admission.

[@Luis_fer_saldana]

Nice but not worth it, it’s better purchase a legacy lightsaber

[@DennisAwayFromHome]

Especially if you want a specific character’s lightsaber. But you know, many of the legacy lightsabers don’t include the blade, so if you buy the hilt and the blade you end up spending just as much. Other complete sabers and blades are just as expensive as Savi’s.

[@nguyenduyanh8670]

How much is that lightsaber? I want to buy one for myself. It super cool

[@DennisAwayFromHome]

It’s about $220 as part of the building experience in the park. If you try to buy it from another source, it will be more expensive since it’s from a 3rd party.

[@missionsapne9291]

Can we make double sided lightsabers

[@DennisAwayFromHome]

No, they don’t currently have anything like that there. You can buy one at Doc Ondar’s though. In theory you could connect two of theee sabers together if you had a coupler to attach them where the pummels go, but that would have to be some kind of custom part if you could find the right threading on a pipe.
