Disney IMPROVED Their "Real" Retractable Lightsaber??

After disappearing for months, Disney's real retractable light saber, finally makes an appearance on social media in the hands of a mystery guy. Who is this guy? When was this video filmed? And does this look like a newer version of Disney's lightsaber? Let's talk about it!
*** much love and respect to Lanny Smoot at Disney imagineering who invented this wonderful and imaginative technology!

MKB fires up one in a "blink and you'll miss it" moment in his recent video about his visit to Disney to check the 360 floor.

[@Yasin33]

Yup. One thing I noticed is it looks pretty flimsy; but it makes sense if it's a retractable plastic like material.

[@dominikborno4133]

@@Yasin33 its probably something like the invis "glass" which bends light around it so you cant see whats standing behind it, with neopixel led strip inside and cause of the properties of this invis glass it makes it so that it all looks uniform with the retractable blade but thats just a guess cause its a bit flimsy and everyone is handling it real soft

[@FindingTheForce]

I really think they improved the design!! That blade definitely looks longer, and completely retracts into the hilt. 👍🏻

[@marcelok471]

yeah i think that too😎

Check out the inventor called Lanny Smoot, he's the innovator and director of imagineering and created this lightsaber.

[@elfpimp1]

Something you said made me think OLED TV. You know, the ones that roll down into their stands?

[@High-Tech-Geek]

You do realize this is just a tape measure with lights on it, right? It can't be used in a swordfight because if you hit anything with it, it will simply bend over (try extending your tape measure and then hitting anything with it). That's why Rey brings it out, turns it on, and then puts it on the floor and swaps it with a "real" non-extending saber for the actual sword fight. They don't sell it because it can't actually be used as a sword. It's simply an effect.

Eventually this will hit the market. This is probably their first prototype that was good enough to show off, when Disney sees how many people want to have sabers like these they will probably bring it to market for a very expensive price.

[@blerdstatic8187]

[@andrewkindle1856]

Of course they will end up mass producing it. WAY WAY too high of a demand to ignore. Like with everything else they just need some time to work out the bugs and get it reliable enough for market. 25 years ago when the prequels started coming out, we would not have expected lightsabers to be much more than the plastic toy versions of that time. However the resurgence of excitement among the Star Wars fans of my generation, coupled with a whole new generations discovery of Star Wars. Created a HUGE market demand for higher quality and more realistic Star Wars merchandise. And now there is even a third generation of fans coming onboard with all the new movies and shows being made since Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm. Also remember that Star Wars fans are the type of fans willing to spend quite a bit on it . And since SO many of them are adults, they have the means to as well. We certainly know Disney is not the only ones working on this, just look at how many other companies are making high quality lightsabers already. So if Disney does not iron this out somewhat quickly, another company will absolutely beat them to market. I think it is safe to say that lightsabers are the most sought-after pieces of Star Wars merchandise.

[@VibesEdits]

The Chinese will make knock offs that’ll cost $20 lol

[@JerseyJester]

@@andrewkindle1856 I wouldn't say "of course"..... demand, yes. But can they make it profitable? If they designed it to be CONVINCING (which, clearly it is), then it makes sense that it could both be very expensive and fragile at the same time. Only a limited number of trained people would have access to it (like performers at disney world).... but that doesn't mean they will ever be able to produce it cheaply enough to make it a viable commercial product. For all we know, those "prototypes" cost $10,000 each, they're super easy to break, and they haven't been able to reduce costs yet. That is not a viable commercial product, sadly. Having said all that.... would love to just be able to check one out myself, seems like it'd be the ultimate for any star wars fan.

[@andrewkindle1856]

@@JerseyJester Yes, I imagine the prototypes would be up there in cost. However just like the pharmaceutical companies where the cost of each pill is maybe 40 cents, but the first pill cost $40 million. I'm going to remain optimistic that they'll be able to get the cost down enough to make it marketable. And like I said before these kinds of fans are usually willing to spend top dollar for their collections. I believe if they can get the retail cost down to $300 to $500 it will sell quite well.

Everything is one upped at some point. Lastly, I loathe using the term "real lightsaber" it's not real, so Disney shouldn't market it as such. They can certainly say, it's the most realistic functioning prop because really that's what all these lightsabers are.

Well it looks like the guy wearing a mask with the lightsaber is none other than Charlie Puth!! Do check and tell.....

Its not that hard to do. You can literally just add an actuated rod inside the blade of an off the shelf walmart saber

LOOK AT THE GIRTH. God that's ugly. That is probably why its not public yet. They have to get that down to a prop scale and then, not to mention the ignition looked way too slow.

If it’s an upgraded model (which by length is clearly is), then that puts your theory about filming at SXSW to bed since Josh had a shorter blade at that presentation.

Check out the inventor called Lanny Smoot, he's the innovator and director of imagineering and created this lightsaber.
