Star Wars Galaxy's Edge: Cal Kestis Legacy Lightsaber Review

[@zatharos6427]

God that thing is chunky. Disney/Hasbro seriously need to redesign their internal as its sad that 3rd party manufacturers can make hilts 100% accurate compared to the company that actually owns Star Wars

[@bgarza18]

They make it as a toy that’s hard for children to break, it’s understandable

[@zatharos6427]

@@bgarza18 with how much this thing weighs, i hope to god no parent actually buys it for their child

[@georgealexwade]

It upsets me because I love this saber. It’s by far my favorite saber in Star Wars because I think sabers with emitters that surround the saber look so cool, and having it be broken or double is exactly what makes it so interesting to me (and I love fallen order). I hate that it’s so far away from the saber and so big compared to how sleek it looks in the games, and I want one so bad but it looks like I would have to go for a 3rd party saber which is much more expensive.

[@zatharos6427]

@@georgealexwade it’ll be slightly more expensive yes, but it’ll have basic features that even the Disney/Hasbro wont have till the next century. Smooth swing, bring LED’s that wont look washed out next to a dimly light lamp, actually audible speakers, etc. Features that actually make it feel like you are holding a saber from the movies themselves

[@brucechmiel7964]

I don’t think that is wrong. I always thought the Saberforge and Vader’s Vault were too small. Considering it was made for a Lasat’s baseball glove sized hands.

[@aihoshiduo]

The fact that they give the option of having the damaged hilt is amazing! This lightsaber is stunning. I want one so bad haha

[@brutzie]

But its so bad..? I would rather invest my money elsewhere. Absolutely eslewhere, That thing is so badly made im actually baffeled that it was rated "the best lightsaber of 2022"

Sorry to burst your bubble but expecting 3rd party features from Disney/Hasbro is like asking for a miracle. Itll never honestly happen to do their cost cutting mind set. Theyll remove any quality of life features just to save themselves a single cent

Cals was by far my fav one they had when I was there a week ago. By a mile. I got that and Dookus. Both are amazing. I don’t think it feels awkward or too top heavy at all.

[@Will.The.Adequate]

it does hurt to see them put old Master Replicas' electronics into such a handsome hilt, though. Time for Disney to embrace smooth swing, accurate accelerometers, and neopixel like all the lightsaber companies did over a year ago.

Cal's damaged lightsaber is easily my favorite design, and I'm honestly glad they didn't simply attach two full-sized sabers together because I would've liked that a lot less than what it looks like in-game.

[@colevillagomez2649]

Honestly I’m cool with the size it makes more sense that it’s that size since it’s Jaros lightsaber, I know in the game it looked really small in his giant hands and it just looks weird lol I’m usually bothered by the chunkyness of legacy sabers but this one works for me personally 🤷‍♂️

[@strangeavocado9279]

The hilt and emitter should be longer, but honestly, I'm just disappointed that its only blue. I know that's how it is canonically, but considering how a big part of the lightsaber in the game is that you can change the color with the Kyber crystals. I think it would have been fantastic if you could've used your own Kyber crystals with this saber so that it could be whatever color you want.

[@guyfromny2364]

In my opinion that would only make it heavier and have the issue that the savis workshop sabers have when trying to align the pieces. This is much better this way in my opinion

I would love if someone made a version of some take on the split saber that reflects when the saber truly becomes Cal’s. I know at this point in the game it’s been customized by every player so it no longer looks like the original.

i have been looking everywhere for that version of the real Cal lightsaber with Cere's second hilt and quick detach. i hope someone, any maker makers one

[@DarthJangoPwnz]

If you have a heavier saber weighing down a belt, you may try what the British officers did in WW1 which was to use an additional strap from the belt to the shoulder. I don’t know if it would work, but when it came to sidearms and metal sabres, it worked to displace the weight.

But I don’t know if its original. Does anyone know where can I order it and a compatible lightsaber blade? Thank you so much!

[@thebestsonic7660]

When you have it with both attached, the cover tech wheels will be at the same spot, so maybe if you have two clips for it to attach to your belt you could attach it horizontally on your back

[@eddie6198]

Does anyone else find it strange how Disney have shortened the double bladed lightsabers? Ever since Darth Maul returned with that different double saber that was shorter they have made them all shorter

Great review as always! Just out of curiosity, since I’m heading to Disney soon, have there been any changes to the available items at dok ondars? Like for example a friend of mine who went on another school trip to Disney earlier this year told me that some of the things like the Jedi food capsules aren’t there any more. Is this a permanent change or just an availability thing, and is there anything else like this at other stores in galaxy’s edge? If there’s any way you know that I could find out it would be a huge help, and thank you so much if it’s at all possible. If not I completely understand. Keep up the great work!

[@vexxtreme]

I just got this as my first saber honestly it's so cool, it's by far my favorite design

Last time I heard of this saber from Galaxy's Edge was that it was supposed to release last year in November. Weird it took this long for me to finally find a video about it

[@SirJamesIGamerfuzion]

Shipping delays which effected the entire world

[@JohnPates]

I definitely love that blade for the single/double blade options. Though I have to agree with your comment on the weight. Of all my blades, that has to be one of the heaviest hilts I own. Especially when you double-blade it.

[@MakilHeru]

Watched this video when it first premiered in April and wanted to come back here with a thank you. Because I just picked up one of these bad boy's from Galaxy's Edge in WDW (long flight from Cali). I was curious could you do a follow up video on third party stands or even blade plugs that might fit something like this? I guess stand and blade plug recommendations could fit for any sabers. But I just wanted to see your thoughts on those. Just to make it present nicely on my desk. I love the saber quite a bit but I can't find a way to display this chunky saber and the plastic saber plug on the top doesn't look great. I might get a saber plug from etsy that looks a tad bit nicer but I wanted to see if you had any suggestions.

This was the one Legacy Saber I actually wanted and it is beautiful.

[@IlanDreemurr]

seeing that they made a lightsaber from a game as a legacy saber makes me wonder if we will ever see the sabers from Star Wars Visions as legacy sabers. a lot of them had really beautiful designs and would be cool to collect

[@GlingusHaunts]

I doubt it, I mean I loved some of the creativity in that show, but it's just not very popular compared to rebels, Clone wars, and the trilogies.

[@SohiHien]

I don't think visions is canon. This game (fallen order) is canon so it gets a light saber since it is part of the star wars story.

[@justinhamlin4109]

Wow that's awesome, this is my favorite lightsaber, I wish I could afford just one but thanks for the review

[@lordbacon4972]

It's nice but the large size and weight is a concern -- especially in the double blade configuration. Also, I wish there was a single on switch for the dual blade so that you can be just as cool as the movies where both blades turn on at same time while just holding the middle handle -- coz with this setup, you have to tell your enemy "hold up, let me flick this one on, and then flick this one on... " lol

[@baumansound]

One thing with the sound: Seems like it has a single "on" loop, with no variations, nor randomization at start point, which means that when you turn them both on at the exact same time, they sound phasey. Disney imagineers, holler me for future sound design =D Really cool saber! So addicting to have them all haha.

[@99GregPotter]

Overall I’m happy with the saber but I can definitely think of a few improvements that would have made it perfect. If you could change the Kyber crystal like in the game it would have been amazing

You definitely get used to the weight of the lightsaber on your side if you were a jedi. There are people who carry around double stack .45's every day.

So apparently there is painted black ring above the rubber grip below the emitter switch. I was so confused why that specific part was so poorly done and to top it off on mine in particular it was much more sloppy compared to other peoples cal sabers. I guess it’s supposed to be detail weathering but it just looks so goofy like someone used a sharpie. I weathered the area on both sabers to mask it and it looks a lot better now

[@ethansoderstrom8287]

I was mainly rooting for Qui Gon's when voting. Cal's didn't feel very definitive to me because players can upgrade and customize it in the game.

I wish savi’s workshop had pieces to make Cal’s lightsaber but they don’t have the top piece, sorry not good with technical terms. The closest I’ve seen is people making their custom lightsaber in the game which is also a neat idea.
