Star Wars Galaxy's Edge: Rey's Legacy Lightsaber Review

[@milky9545]

I really like the fact that disney made the little "flaps" on top the lightsaber open and close. Kinda wish you could turn it on by turning the gear on the top of the hilt, but the button is still ok.

[@SirJamesIGamerfuzion]

Agree I could over look the switch of that was the case but for them to do that would change the looks and size of the hilt there kinda a battle here that regardless there will be a negative

[@AndreSonofMogh]

The Force FX Rey Skywalker saber will have the twist ignition.

[@GyudeJohnson]

The flaps broke for me on the drive back home. I'm not sure why but it was in the case and one of them folds up and down without tension now

[@JakeHansenPiano]

@@GyudeJohnson Same. One of mine also doesn't have tension. Maybe it's just a thing?

[@thomasselbe2892]

I bought this lightsaber at the Star Wars Trading Post store at Downtown Disney a couple of weeks ago, gave it to my mom for her birthday last Friday, and she LOVES it! Best birthday gift I’ve ever given her! 🎉

[@cyber_zenith1501]

James in his mind be like: *"Another fine adittion to my collection..."*

[@CraftMotion]

You're reading my mind😂

[@divz6376]

“I’ve been looking forward to this” (In my best Count Dooku voice) lol

[@bulldog1010123]

There’s such an easy engineering fix to this so you can twist the ring. You don’t need the switch going side to side on the outside. Whatever component that needs to be flipped to activate the blade can be used by turning the ring. If the ring had a bar welded or molded on the inside that was flat and long and metal so it didn’t wear out, you could turn the ring meaning the bar would turn with it flipping the switch from the inside eliminating the need for a switch on the outside of the hilt.

[@thesithakatsuki2574]

I would defo buy if the ignition was the gear at the top. Super detailed and cool tho.

[@_Beau2005_]

Besides that I think it's still cool to pick it up

[@emilianoleyva7169]

The hasbro fx black series one has the gear as the activation and has small opening at the top to allow the yellow to shine through

[@stumbling_]

This is honestly one of the coolest lightsabers we’ve seen since the dark saber was introduced in clone wars

[@TBevill1231]

Just got this saber the other day when my friend went to Disney and picked it up for me on his vacation. It is indeed a very heavy saber, of good quality and I love the force effect it has after seven strikes. I do wish it did use the gear to ignite the blade but it also would’ve been cool if they added a function where the gear made the flaps open at the top as you turned it.

[@Josema234]

You should do a ranking of the galaxy’s edge lightsabers

[@alejandrotorales4174]

Agree.

[@Bungus78]

Hopefully they won’t call Anakins lightsaber “Reys Lightsaber” now

[@RainUnbox]

They call it “the reforged skywalker” now

[@samparrish4870]

I call it the “Reyforged Skywalker saber” from episode IX 😂

Thanks so much for your review! What are your top favorite Legacy Sabers? I think a dedicated video of that would be very interesting. Love your content and quality. Have a great one!

[@christopherbailey9304]

"Is much more smoothly." words are hard man! I love that you kept that in. totally got what you were saying. just bustin' chops!

[@dcfmkyn]

I do agree. Disney appears to have given this hilt more attention to detail that the Leia one. The bandage hand grips are movie accurate, the manually operated emitter "teeth" are OK, but the activation operation and absent light windows are a let down. but overall, nice hilt. Because of this, the LGT Scavenger saber you and I have is supreme over this one even with the screw-on teeth!!

[@nicolefuller3579]

The yellow looks so bright and great!! I’ve been seeing that people said it has a green twinge but I didn’t see that at all with yours. Stoked to get one for myself!

[@ursiibear]

I know this is 2 years too late but yellow does have a green twinge, cameras make any lightsaber color look better than it actually is in person.

[@dlanimation8686]

I just hope they add a Palpatine Lightsaber now that would be pretty rad

[@JustinFeyereisen]

I'm upset that the Ashoka Rebels Saber was discontinued before I made it to Galaxy's Edge but this is a welcome addition. Hopefully I will get to Batuu within the next couple years.

[@Adan_Pilon]

I’ve always loved yellow lightsabers

[@edgarambriz1431]

When the blade is on it isn’t yellow yellow it’s light green. Kinda looks bad but the hilt looks amazing

[@OBSDCC7]

I don’t understand why they couldn’t have the blade glow through the emitter when the Darksaber does it just fine

[@charliebozard4107]

Do you ever a problem of the blades not lighting up all the way? I’ve already been through 2.

[@ryanremenap5616]

my neighbors have that on me me of their blades. it has become my greatest fear. i hope you can get a new one that works, or are able to fix it

[@kathymiskell7658]

Great review and very good suggestions for carrying it and display. Such an awesome looking lightsaber! I'd definitely have one if I could ever get to the parks! I really wish they would make them available on-line!

[@Khans0120]

You should be able to order them online from Disney stores, with free shipping. I was able to find a Disney online retailer which carried them as well even though I bought Rey's at the park recently since my two favorites sold out there

[@EternalQuestion]

Sir James: So you can see we have some really nice weathering on this top emitter section here Impatient People in Comments: LIGHTSABER GO BRRRRR!

[@themanhimself4146]

I actually got this for Christmas this year and it’s AMAZING I love it so much

[@stevem76]

You could try drilling tiny holes in the top of the hilt to let the light through

[@jman05]

I’m making it my mission to have every legacy lightsaber there is except Ashoka’s lightsabers in the mandolorian

[@ryanremenap5616]

good luck, may the force be with you

[@knightofren101]

Whenever they are going to show how maul repaired his saber i hope they ar going to sell that half and have a yellow and red Color to choose from like ahsokas sabers

[@SuperPoplyfe]

As always a great job and great review.

[@VicDaher]

Love this saber! Wish we could buy in the UK

[@georgew5180]

[@samuraijedi1669]

We can all use a Smuggler bounty named "Edddie". Congrats on the Rey lightsaber!

[@SirJamesIGamerfuzion]

Thanks

[@jacksonlotinsky4560]

This will make a fine edition to my collection

[@The_mkia]

They could have added a led strip of sorts in the emitter so it is lit up since that’s thin enough

[@The_mkia]

And the can code it so that when you flip the switch it turns on

[@rawpow1]

Picked one of these up when I was in Disneyland last November - I honestly think it's easily one of their best yet, really like it! Really nice weight and finish/texturing to it, and it feels properly scaled (rather than several of them that feel too thick / bulky). Agree with you on the downsides but since mine is primarily on display as a hilt they weren't dealbreakers for me - I've got it rotated to hide the switch as you say and they aren't visible until you pick it up and/or attach the blade

[@z-3to204]

You can fold the teeth in a little to touch the blade for a little more screen accuracy. Also, the 7th FoC flashes white to yellow a few times, idk why maybe a little Easter egg.

[@daviddubail-tyler7363]

where can I just get the yellow blade

[@PsycoHank]

The saber looks great 👍

[@ashhizon6723]

I’m 5’5 and I bought a big galaxy’s edge blade and now I kinda regret it cuz it’s really big… should I change it out?

[@dlira6242]

I've waited so long for them to bring this saber to the public.

[@jackrobins8756]

I recently purchased this from Galaxy’s Edge along with Ashoka Tango’s lightsabers. I had to ship them back to the U.K but felt Rey’s in the workshop and it was a bit heavy but it’s great! I love Rey!❤

[@willmoore5550]

How does it weigh so much?

[@ybentertainment4509]

I WAS EXCITED FOR THIS VIDEO TO DROP🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ArtbyDanielP]

I hope you're happy. I just spent $170 dollars because of this video. Really though, I love Rey’s lightsaber. The industrial rusted design is simply beautiful.

[@majorp7863]

is there a revised version of the temple guard saber with a newer button? i remember the original one looked super flimsy and its something that disney would hopefully have fixed

[@josephelston895]

they’re discontinuing the temple guard saber

[@nicogonzalez7860]

One does one acquire that sweater. It’s dope!

[@nicogonzalez7860]

*how does one LOL

[@SuganoPro]

I love your reviews. I am fairly new to being a content creator on KZbin. I watched many of your reviews and other people to help me decide on getting a custom lightsaber. I am not a collector of lightsabers, however, I do like the many features that the different companies offer. I never intended to be a reviewer of lightsabers, but my only review of my Electrum Sabercrafts saber got more views than any other video I have created. I have since ordered a Saberforge saber and am waiting for it to arrive. I will probably do a review of it once I get it. It’s their version of the Princess Leia saber. I have watched your videos on the Leia saber offered by a different manufacturer, so I am curious what Saberforge’s will be like. So far, no one has done a video on theirs. Keep up the great work!

[@thevoidlord1796]

It's a shame that such a cool lightsaber replica doesn't have the same "gear-ignition" system as the movie. Would easily make it one of the most desirable lightsabers available

[@allenarts6256]

I'm jealous of your lightsaber spinning abilities, but I also wanna train myself with a lightsaber more

[@magnumbeefus]

if theres anything good that came from those films, it would be that lightsaber. that and the first order designs and kylo rens design. thats about it though

[@MarkyMarc89]

*Now that more hilts have been released would you rank each legacy saber in a group of categories of 1 2 and 3?*

[@joshuachandler6541]

I wonder if they'll ever make it to where the holocron in the cyst can combine like they did in rebels

[@skyloren2187]

I don't know why they didn't made the activation like in the movie. I think it shouldnt be that hard. But what I dislike most is the blade color because in the movie her blade is goldish yellow like a traffic light and not the light yellow the temple guards have

[@David-AE86]

I just got the elite force fx version for this and i love it got really lucky on a bestbuy deal for $149

[@elqueolvidosunombre6259]

Now to wait for the inquisitor lightsaber

[@itskatietano]

overall i really love what i've seen of this saber so far and can't wait to get my own. it's my favorite lightsaber hilt and i definitely plan on buying this one as well as a third party with the accurate ignition switch

[@jaclynferreira3595]

This review convinced me, I’m going to have to pick this up!

[@dcfmkyn]

I'm sorry, although this is a non lightsaber question, could you please tell me where you got the leather jacket you are wearing in the video? It looks very handsome....

[@AzureTank776]

And here I am, waiting for an Inquisitor lightsaber

[@I-Reiden]

Not my granddaughter, she betrayed her grandpa

[@Wonkru.cosplay]

@sirjames How much does the rebel pilot outfit weigh? I know this isn't the video for it haha. I really wanted to buy one. Just wanted to calculate weight as I'm traveling from Canada to Batuu for the first time this may the 4th!

[@Dizz18]

Why does it look so green? Is that a camera issue? When you were holding it side by side to Rey’s movie screen shot it was clearly yellow vs green

[@ryanremenap5616]

the yellow sabers by disney do look quite green. it's my biggest problem with the disney sabers by far

[@MattsCollection]

Great review! I do have a quick question, are the sounds the same as a Savi's saber with a yellow crystal or does it have unique sounds? It's kind of hard to tell in an online review.

[@SirJamesIGamerfuzion]

Different sound

[@garysowder9772]

I like it . Like the yellow blade . And the ideal it was made out of her staff

[@knotbeardguy0740]

Sheeeet, were going to Disney on the same day

[@jacobwoods1913]

If you do a short of flick twist or whatever you call it with the new Rey saber it does something cool that no other legacy saber does! It does it every 4 or 5 times

[@Mr.Knight52]

no one hating on rey in the comments it's a miracle

[@ryanremenap5616]

Great review!

[@joaofrancisco7289]

Sad she didn’t use it through the movie

[@ryanremenap5616]

talk about it! i'm so annoyed that she didn't use it. instead she fixed the skywalker saber and used it until she buried it in sand...

[@Tobiashhctester]

I think the blade color is a Mix from blue and Green

[@ryanhartman3512]

I just saw a review of Hasbro's Rey Fx Elite lightsaber. The light shines through where Disney's doesn't. Almost looks like a neopixel blade as well. Very smooth ignite and retract.

[@redemptiontime6245]

Gonna need that dark saber review cuz im going in august and idk if I should get Vader, Maul, or dark saber. I also dont know if I should wait for the force Fx elite dark saber

[@mystics1ay3r17]

How do I get in touch with one of these “smugglers” so I don’t have to buy from scalpers?

[@jonoeschger1552]

Do the Legacy lightsabers have kyber crystals inside…or do they even need them? Or is that just with Savi’s build-a-lightsaber?

[@SirJamesIGamerfuzion]

Only savi

[@xNightHawk32]

What if Disney opted to include LED’s in the hilt? Instead of it lighting up from the blade itself? All in all, I like the way this lightsaber turned out. I’d love to get it. Additionally I really want to get the Darksaber from Galaxys Edge!! That saber looks awesome!

[@xNightHawk32]

@JEREMY VILLARREAL CRUZ I agree, it would have been cooler to twist the gear to turn it on and off. I wonder if they chose to go the route they did because of the blade insert. Which probably also the reason they opted to not include the glowing lights. Which would have been cool.

[@xNightHawk32]

@JEREMY VILLARREAL CRUZ yeah I’d like to get one of those spendy lightsabers. I saw one on Always Believe that looked really cool! But he spent $1000.00 😅 I was lucky enough to get 3 legacy sabers when I did. If I could, I’d like to get this Rey saber and the Darksaber. The Darksaber looks really cool! Big fan of the Darksaber.

[@xNightHawk32]

@JEREMY VILLARREAL CRUZ nice! I’m the same way. I visited Galaxys Edge for the first time February 2020 and was lucky enough to get the Skywalker saber. They didn’t have the reforged saber when I visited. - my second legacy saber was the Ben Solo saber that a friend bought for me when they visited the parks. 3rd saber was Obi-Wan Kenobi when they had it on shop Disney. I love Galaxys Edge. I hope to go again some day.

[@michaelsolberg3330]

We gotta see a new light saber collection video

[@Toytography]

Is this lightsaber only sold in the parks? If it's available at the new Star Wars store in Downtown Disney, I'm on it!

[@Fraction13]

Right now it's only parks. Seems to be the new procedure to help smooth out the stocking issues.

[@Toytography]

@@Fraction13 Yeah, I actually just went to Downtown Disney yesterday to check it out. The cast member told me it's a park exclusive. On a side note, they still had some Mace Windu sabers left. The cast member said they're almost through the last batch before they're completely gone.

[@sethmiller6795]

Im watching this a year later because i just got the force fx elite version of this hilt for my birthday, and i wanted to see the differences. I forgot disneys is a little switch cut out, but i do like the wrap on this one

[@FROSTINATOR]

The igniting sound is too high pitched. Needs to be deeper, a little more bass.

[@kysterableschannel2024]

Also there is a yellow kyber crystal, and it’s rare

[@popcorncolonel726]

I have a question, one only you can answer. Is it possible to get my lightsaber through the airport security along with my carry on? Or is something else required.

[@DiScOrDtHeLuNaTiC]

I got this through TheLineJumper, and even with the reseller premium, I love it. Like you, I was a tad disappointed about the thumbwheel not being the activation switch, but oh well. Question: is it just me, or is the blade more 'yellow-green' than pure yellow?

[@s0leviden954]

Love your videos:)

[@eyesofthefox]

Recently got the Force FX Elite version of this saber. In terms of accuracy and craftsmanship, the FX one is much better (worth the 100 extra $). If you want something you aren't too worried about cracking the blade deuling with it, the Legacy one may be the better choice as you can buy the blades separate~

[@owenkennedy1015]

@SirJames | Gamerfuzion , I also believe that they sell them at Downtown Disney inside the Star Wars Trading Post. No need to go inside Batuu.

Hey james what's your favorite color crystal and why

[@AndreSonofMogh]

Gotta give a big Kudos to Hasbro for their Rey Skywalker saber which will have the light in the emitter and the twist ignite. Hasbro’s sabers look better then they sound (which is what I care most about *looks*) but I am super stoked that they didn’t go the GE phoned in route in regard to this specific saber. Disney surprises me, with all that they charge you to enter their parks and to buy their food and gift shop products they couldn’t go the extra mile? If it was a cost concern thing people will pay it! You don’t go to DL without pockets fat with cash! Not these days anyway. Or perhaps the imagineers couldn’t work out how to get the twist and emitter light ignition effects into their saber but Hasbro did. 🤷🏽 FFX takes the win on this dual of the sabers by those two elements alone! Why even produce the product if it doesn’t behave like it does on screen? I have never been in the presence of a GE saber but I have many Hasbro FFX sabers and I even thought GE came across as slightly better then FFX but not so much in this case.
