Bright Suns Colleen!
I’m excited to hear that you will soon be traveling to a galaxy “not” so far away. The Jedi wielded the lightsaber to protect and keep the peace in the galaxy for thousands of generations. I, too, am a collector of these ancient devices and am always on the lookout for the latest one. So let’s make the jump to hyperspace and get you the answer you seek.
Building your very own custom lightsaber at
Savi’s Workshop is one of the most amazing experiences you can have as a Star Wars fan. When my son and I built ours, the whole experience took about 45 minutes, so you should have no trouble getting to your dinner reservations. I would plan on arriving to your appointment about 15 minutes early so that you can view a list of the 4 different hilt options available as well as all of the custom looks for each. You might also want to pick up a custom carrying case to store it in as well.
While you’re visiting, I would recommend that you stop by
Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities in Galaxy’s Edge. This legendary Ithorian has procured an amazing array of items from around the galaxy. I’ve seen items from the Rebellion, the Resistance, the Empire, and the First Order. One of my favorite items is the Sith and Jedi Holocrons. You can customize each one with the different Kyber Crystals available for purchase. You can also use these crystals to change the color of your custom lightsaber blade. Be on the lookout for the elusive Black Kyber Crystal, as it holds some surprises.
Colleen, I hope the force will be with you and your boyfriend in your quest to build your very own custom lightsabers, and that you have a magical vacation. If you have any further questions, please stop by, and my fellow panelists here at
planDisney will be happy to assist you.
Till the Spire,
Robert
