Building a Savi's Workshop Lightsaber: How "custom" is my custom lightsaber really?

In this video, I will share my experience at Savi's Workshop in Galaxy's Edge at Walt Disney World Hollywood Studios. I will also cover the idea of the Star Wars "custom" lightsaber build, and whether or not what you end up with is truly custom. My hope is to share enough detail that you can make a decision on whether the Savi's experience is right for you.

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for! Thanks for this video!

[@Multi-verses]

Do you think they might make new parts for them the light savers for next year?

[@TheOneTrueChris]

90 is the first one I made. Looking forward to building another on my next trip.

[@nogan99]

I’m building a sabre tomorrow and this is exactly what I needed to help me decide, thank you!

[@1997Ghost]

Wow. I wouldn’t have thought it would be so many combos. I made a peace and justice this week.

[@primal-bits4777]

It is surprising how many combos there are. Imagine how many combos you could get is you could choose and combine scrap from all 4 sets.

[@Kaizagade]

Great video! Very insightful!

[@andrewlukinsmusic]

Number 95 is my favourite, looks really clean. I like how the design lines up and has the grip at the top. Can't wait to go and build my own later this year!

[@elisitbon4672]

35 is my current one

[@christinefogleboch6207]

Thank you so much for this! I’m building my first tomorrow, and didn’t want to be overwhelmed by having to make a choice in such a short period of time. Now I can pause this and look at exactly what I’d want!

[@JScott30349]

#75 is my favorite! Great job and thanks for the insight!

I built a Peace and Justice saber back in 2021 when I went for the 50th anniversary. I have to say I'm really not a fan of the 2nd Gen P&J and Elemental Nature compared to what was there previously. On the other hand, I think Power and Control and Protection and Defense are improved over their 1st gen Counterparts. I'm not sure I'll ever build another one but it was a really cool experience to do once and I'm happy with the P&J Saber that I built.

[@primal-bits4777]

Power & Control. 2nd gen does look great. I’m looking forward to getting the full set of scrap for that. The one thing that I would say is good about the 2nd gen P&J and EJ scrap is the addition of alignment stops.

[@irman925]

Not me screenshotting every configuration so i can pre plan my build

[@carloroldan7075]

Would be total of 1536? If you combine all for types of sabers with kyber crystals?

[@Cap10Zach]

42 is my Saber With a green kyber crystal

[@felixchuah2854]

7:17 No. 34 customize lightsaber is my favourite once I return to Disneyland in Orlando, I gonna made almost like Luke or Cal or like Rey make this

[@EarlBiggs]

Orlando is Disneyworld Disney land is in California

[@tidycrayfish7649]

I see this as a lightsaber bace that you can buy different parts(aftermarket) and really make it your own not just a Disney preset(80) is the way to got for me

[@primal-bits4777]

I agree, I’ve been 3D printing additional parts lately to add to the Disney saber core to create a Cal Kestis saber.

[@tidycrayfish7649]

@@primal-bits4777 that’s a great idea the only part that may be hard is how the switches and grips will align due to them being in different places

[@NiteMarcher]

I agree totally. For me it was all about the Experience as it was my first time 2 weeks ago. But I also think Disney should have had at least 5 sets to offer on each tray because 2 sets is very easy to replicate during Savi’s Workshop Experience. And if your lucky to pull the Black Kyber Crystal (I did it in 2 pulls 😊) though it will be the same color and sound as Red Kyber than you further increase your variety for display purposes.

[@primal-bits4777]

It is a really fun experience. I will probably continue to do it until I have all of the scrap metal. It is one of those things I can’t really afford to do more than once or twice per year though.

[@NiteMarcher]

@@primal-bits4777 oh 100%. I was on my honeymoon and never visit Cali, so my wife decided to take me around and visit some theme parks. Best part is I'm heading to Disney world in 2 weeks so here comes round two of Savis and its time to get the last set of Power and Precisiom haha.

[@primal-bits4777]

The newest version of Power & Control looks really good. Protection & Defense may be my next set. I like the Old Republic vibe.I’m still on the hunt for the black crystal.

[@NiteMarcher]

@@primal-bits4777 oh 100% it's so badass. My buddy was the one that suggested I do Savis Workshop. He wanted to know which saber I was gonna build n said, and I quote "You better be choosing Sith or one night when you sleep, imma kill your Younglings". Dark as he'll but fit the conversation so darn perfectly 😆

[@primal-bits4777]

P&C.definitely has the Sith vibe, especially with the spiked emitter.

[@hffj11]

I personally don't like Peace and Justice because it's kinda "saturated". We don't see other themes that much on movies, TV shows etc, so for me the other themes (specially Elemental Nature, which I did) gave me more of the feeling that I built a "unique" lightsaber. But Disney should have done more scrap metal for each theme. Few possible combinations for the amount of people that does the experience

[@primal-bits4777]

Truly more scrap would be better. I’d love it if you had access to the scrap from all four sets. Forty pieces of scrap would really bump up the variety.

[@Kestrafett]

Personally, I love the concept for this video, however, I just have to say that the blaring loud music throughout the background was so distracting I could barely hear your voice

[@primal-bits4777]

I appreciate the feedback. I’ll definitely reduce the level of the music track on future videos.

[@TheSonyGuy1]

Great video but too bad it came out after I had already went. This video would have helped me out alot if it had came out before October

[@primal-bits4777]

Unfortunately, I didn’t have the scrap metal to do the video sooner.

[@cthulhu5101]

Oh boo hoo…geez people just whine…

[@primal-bits4777]

@cthulhu5101 if you are referring to the video intro, please watch a little further. The video is actually a debunk of the idea that the Savi’s lightsabers aren’t unique, when they in fact are. I loved the Savi’s experience and have done it twice over the past year. I am a big fan of what Disney has done at Galaxies Edge, and the initial “whine” is just a setup for the video. No bashing of the experience was intended.
