[@Fanporium]

Thank you again for the very kind shout-out! I hope folks enjoy using it as much as I've enjoyed building it.

[@nerdydaydreams]

@@Fanporium of course!! It's the coolest website. I'm excited for everyone to check it out!! 💖

[@scottwallace4864]

Thanks for putting the link to the builder. I’m going to WDW in 2 months and I played around with the different versions. I love your version but I think I’m going another way. It’s a lot of money but I am very much looking forward to building a Power and Control sabre. I’ve had the opportunity to meet David Prowse and Ray Park, so I’m a pretty big Sith fan. Thanks for the video and information.

[@nerdydaydreams]

@@scottwallace4864 I’m so glad that you found the builder website helpful. 💖that’s really cool that you got to meet David Prowse!! The Power and Control sabers are honestly awesome. (My husband Simon built one, and we love it!) Hope you have a great time at WDW!

[@VeggieGamer]

Ok this looks awesome! My ONLY wish is they get more colour options, but the whole compiling was really cool! Great choice with the hilts!

[@nerdydaydreams]

It was such a cool experience!! They only have the four kyber crystals in Savi’s Workshop, but they do have more color choices inside Dok Ondar’s, so you could always get another color afterwards and switch it out. I’m surprised they don’t offer them all at Savi’s! 🤓💖

[@Matnikos0164]

Wow amazing it looks so beautiful

[@nerdydaydreams]

Thank you so much! I love how it turned out!! 🤓💖

[@joecupidpowerranger]

During my return to Disneyland after Blackout from my Enchant Magic Key i have finally got to experience Savi's Workshop for my first time and built my very own Protection and Defense lightsaber. This is such a very great experience and totally well worth it for the cost.

[@nerdydaydreams]

Yay!! I’m so glad that you got to build one. The Protection and Defense is so cool! What color kyber crystal did you get? We are Imagine Magic Key holders, so this has been a long blockout period for us too! 🤓💖

[@joecupidpowerranger]

​@@nerdydaydreamsthat's awesome that you're an Imagine Key Holder. And behalf of your question I chose blue as a kyber crystal. Soon I plan to buy Violet and Yellow.

[@sposlpat]

Just wanna say I found this channel today binging Disney content and I am already a huge fan! You guys got great energy and make the trips look so fun, I'm actually going to Galaxy's edge myself soon to build my first saber, subscribed!

[@nerdydaydreams]

okay, you've officially made our day with this comment! thank you so much!! 🥰 I'm so excited for you to build your first saber!! Do you know which hilt or which color kyber crystal you're after? it's going to be the best!!

[@sposlpat]

@@nerdydaydreams I'm doing either elemental nature or power & control hilt with a red crystal 😁

[@nerdydaydreams]

@@sposlpat amazing!! those are the two hilts we chose too. (Simon's is a power + control with a red kyber crystal!) 🤩

[@Talladir]

I'm a live long Star Wars fan and I know I would cry the whole exprience. the sad thing is I will never be able to afford it for me and my family to go to Disneyland, living in Germany makes it quite expensive. Nevertheless thank you very much for this fantastic video and I hope you two stay awesome :)

[@nerdydaydreams]

I cannot believe I didn’t cry more during this experience, honestly!! It was truly special. I really hope that an experience like this pops up closer to Germany so that you get to go. Thank you for your comment! 💖🤓

[@Ulfgrum]

Thanks for making this video. I made my saber (power and control) back in May and this brought back some happy memories that tend to get lost in the day to day hustle. So much purple though...

[@nerdydaydreams]

oh my gosh, you're welcome! Thank YOU! This comment just made me so happy! Simon built a power and control saber in November with a red kyber crystal and loves it. What color kyber crystal did you pick? (and I know, soo much purple LOL! idk how that happened!) 💖

[@Ulfgrum]

@@nerdydaydreams I tried a few but they all turned red for some reason. J/K but I did pick red. I have a sith cosplay outfit so it fits in better. I wore the costume to the Star Wars Nite celebration on May 9th. Made the saber on the 10th.

[@nerdydaydreams]

@@Ulfgrum omg I read this out loud to Simon and we both laughed at the kyber crystals "all turning red" hahaha. That totally makes sense for your cosplay! we went to the April 18th Star Wars Nite, and I had a Vader shirt and a red bladed saber. 😂❤

[@piplup10203854]

I would love if they added wraps or more color options but I been wanting to do this so much! I am hoping I can go with my dad next year for my birthday! I would love to build my very first lightsaber! I am sure I am gonna cry 😂 my dad took me to all the movies in the theaters growing up and just a couple years ago we got matching Star Wars tattoos so if we get to build a lightsaber together that would just complete my life 🥹 we will see though as it's pretty expensive to get there but the lightsabers look amazing! I do wish they were slightly thinner because they're a little chonky but they look awesome.

[@nerdydaydreams]

ahhh! I hope you and your dad get to go for your birthday! It's such a special experience, I'm honestly surprised that I held it together and didn't cry lol! They do have yellow and white kyber crystals available at Dok Ondar's next door if you want to pick up one of those (or any extra colors) after your build. I'm not sure why they don't offer them at Savi's! They really are chonky sabers haha, but they're so special 🥰💖.

[@piplup10203854]

@@nerdydaydreams Thank you!! It’s coming up in just a few months! So I have time to save up for it! 😃 haha 😂 honestly watching your video and experience it I was starting to tear up when told to step forward and activate and just seeing everyone’s faces in joy 🥹 I still well up in how much I love this series and how many others do too so I totally get it! I wasn’t even there and I’m choking up 😂 oooh 😯 you got with me a white kyber crystal! I just bought an elemental nature Green and white crystal from Crafted Core just for that reason! I love that they got yellow! 👀 Thank you! That makes my choice. I wish they offered them at the workshop! I wonder why because people are gonna buy them regardless. Haha 🤣 that’s okay a chonky lightsaber is still perfectly wonderful 🥰💖 I agree and I’m excited to build mine! I just recently moved so I would be closer to Galaxy’s Edge 😁 I’m one hour away no excuse now

[@johnnieshaver9846]

This is so rad, even cooler than the droid process. I'm pumped to build one in September.

[@nerdydaydreams]

yay, that makes me so happy!! have you thought about what color kyber crystal you'll choose, or what hilt? it's the best experience!! 💖

[@rbritt]

Galaxy's Edge itself is the coolest theme park experience I've ever had and building my lighsaber was just incredible. The quality is really good too, except that it eats through batteries quick.

[@nerdydaydreams]

I feel the same way about Galaxy’s Edge!! I could hang out there all day 😍. I’m so glad you loved your experience building your saber too!! It was so special. Thanks for the tip on the battery! 💖

[@nerdydaydreams]

@@cthulhu5101 I teared up so many times while I was editing it. It’s such a special experience!! Thank you.

[@TK-yz3wt]

It's worth doing at least once, I did when the 1st gen pieces were avaible in 2019. These 2nd gen pieces align much better than the 1st gen pieces. It looks like there are more rings than wheels on the 2nd gen pieces. The first month or so, you were allowed to buy extra pieces. But then it stopped maybe due to it being popular in that first summer.

[@nerdydaydreams]

I totally agree. That’s so cool that you got to build a lightsaber when Galaxy’s Edge first opened! 😮 I don’t have experience with the first generation pieces, but mine did align well when I put it together. The ‘gatherer’ helping me said that I could purchase any extra pieces that day (and that day only), but it would be really cool to go back and buy more! Now that I’ve built an ‘Elemental Nature,’ and my husband has built a ‘Power and Control,’ it’s very tempting to go back and complete the set with a ‘Peace and Justice’ and ‘Protection and Defense’, but I’m sure it’ll be a while before we’re back at Savi’s! 💖🤓

[@cthulhu5101]

I built 1 at both of my trips, I love them both and the experience was so awesome…imho it’s so worth it…

[@nerdydaydreams]

@@DaveMorgan-h5l I totally see that connection! That’ll definitely be my next build 😍

[@Lord_Mangoat]

I think I've mentioned it before, but I like the sabers people can make at Disney, but I also think they look too bulky, compared to 3rd party saber options, such as Neopixel, Ultrasabers, etc. Some day I wouldn't mind making one to display, but I think I'd end up "playing with" the 3rd party options more. Knowing that the Disney ones are for display purposes-only and not for "combat".

[@slowazzd2165]

Ironically, I'm currently retrofitting the savis chassis to fit a xenopixel board and neopixel blade because I think the 3rd party sabers aren't chunky ENOUGH. I'm not a fan of sabers that are just a thin aluminum tube with a few details, i know for duelists they're great but a duelist, I am not. I love the designs of the savis sabers, even if the electronics leave a lot to be desired. I want my saber to feel like I'm picking up a powerful weapon, not a sink pipe 😂

[@nerdydaydreams]

@lord_mangoat I totally get it. I love the way my saber from Savi’s look, but the two neopixal sabers we have a definitely just more comfortable in my hand for spinning!

[@nerdydaydreams]

@slowazzd2165 I definitely respect that!! The Savi’s sabers are so beautiful, so I could see upgrading the blade to match. I’ve only just started learning to spin a bit, and it’s so much fun! I find that the Savi’s ones are a little too thick and bumpy to spin with, while the two neopixel sabers I have are comfier! I still love them all though 😆💖

[@veladpm]

Of course they are not for “combat”, they are meant for kids 8+ (even the kid in all of us) It is meant to be fun. You can absurdly pay $300 to $1000 for a 3rd party saber co. I have both. The Disney one is the best bang for your buck.

[@nerdydaydreams]

@veladpm it's definitely hard to build such a cool saber at savi's and not want to immediately challenge someone to lightsaber combat 😂. there are some really talented saber wielders out there! but yes, we agree that the savi's sabers are more for fun/display, and the neopixel sabers are better for spin/combat! 💖

[@nucleuscyborg5036]

A purple kyber crystal with an elemental lightsaber hilt? Odd combination this is yes. Thank you for sharing the lightsaber experience in Disneyland. I myself have only ever been to WDW and have so far build 6 Savi’s workshop lightsabers. I’ll be going to Disneyland for the very first time in August. I’ll be building the protection and defense saber. Had originally planned to build the 3 sabers in missing from generation 2, but ultimately decided against it. To expensive and to rack his or her own of course but I don’t much like the new look of the elemental and peace/justice sabers. Thank you again for your video! 👍

[@nerdydaydreams]

omg, that's amazing that you've gotten to build six already, SO COOL!! We are definitely tempted to build more sabers at savi's, but we'll probably wait a bit longer before we do. Do you have a favorite from your builds? also, side note, did you get to do Star Tours at WDW?! I love how they have the AT-AT outside!! 😍

[@nucleuscyborg5036]

@@nerdydaydreams yea I built all 4 of the generation 1 sabers. I built the power and control saber (the one you said in your video was too dark for you) because I thought it was the coolest looking of the new generation 2 sabers. That 5 sabers and I’ll be building another in a few weeks. So technically I’ve built 5 sabers so far. The Savi’s workshop experience is amazing every time. As I said the original plan was to build the remaining 3 for my collection but I decided against it because it will take a whole day at the park and cost of course. We may have an extra day so if I can get a reservation I may do another. Oh, another reason I decided not to build all three is I’ll have to ship them home.

[@nerdydaydreams]

@@nucleuscyborg5036 I totally get that with shipping! sounds like a lot to take care of. My husband built the Power and Control saber with a red kyber crystal last year! we are opposites sometimes haha 😆 I'm so pumped for you to visit Batuu at Disneyland! We're spoiled with extra characters and droids.

[@nucleuscyborg5036]

@@nerdydaydreams I’m totally pumped as well. I just hope Disneyland is worth all the hype. I chose a purple crystal when I made my power and control saber. Can you tell me anything about the new kyber crystals?

When the time came to chose their crystals i saw the first one pick red...i thought (okay, we start with the dark side...fine). Then i saw the second one pick red also...i thought (Mmmm...another one ? Must be a coincidence...). But when i saw the third one pick red also i thought (Omg...this is bad, they are building a sith army ! 😱). Was relieved when the fourth and fifth one picked blue and purple 😌

[@dojikeiichiro]

What's the feel on the elemental hilt? Is it just painted metal, or do the leather and wood feel different?

It feels like a mix of metal and high quality heavy plastic! The leather and wood are a hard thick heavy plastic, I would say. 🤓💖

@@dojikeiichiro those are the two that we have! I do think the Power and Control hilt feels more metal than the Elemental Nature. Both are really cool and very different. The cast members are super nice and will open up the drawers outside of Savi’s Workshop if you want to see all of the pieces. (If you want to see our Power and Control hilt video, that’s here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIHRdJyChtGghNE ) Hope you have the best time building yours! 💖

What are the pieces made of? I bought a legacy saber and it was pretty much entirely made of metal

[@nerdydaydreams]

I think I picked the hilt style with the most plastic, to be honest! My husband built the Power and Control style, and he swears there’s some metal in it. I could totally see the legacy sabers being more metal! 💖

[@cosmicwartoad2587]

How long does the power last and how d'you recharge them?

[@nerdydaydreams]

Great question!! The Savi’s Workshop sabers actually take three AAA batteries in the hilt. My husband built his in November of 2023, and we haven’t had to change the batteries yet. We turn it on every once in a while to show friends (or to channel the dark side), but not super frequently. I’ve heard from others that the Savi’s sabers tear through batteries quickly, but we just don’t keep it lit for long periods of time. 🤓
