Hey, Tracy! Welcome to planDisney.
If you’re exploring
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, keep your eyes peeled! Stormtroopers regularly patrol the streets of Black Spire Outpost, ready to confront any Resistance members they come across. So, having a lightsaber handy might not be such a bad idea!
Before heading to Batuu, I recommend stopping by
Tatooine Traders, conveniently located at the exit of the Star Tours attraction. Your son will love the chance to build his own lightsaber in the back of the store! He can choose from a variety of components, including the hilt, blade color, emitters, and end caps. The build stations are packed with all kinds of parts, so he can mix and match to create a lightsaber that’s uniquely his. Cast Members are there to help and make sure the experience is fun for everyone, no matter their age. If you’re looking for a more budget-friendly option than the lightsabers at Savi’s Workshop, this is a great choice! While a double-blade lightsaber costs a bit more than a single-blade, both are easy on the wallet. Just keep in mind that these lightsabers are not the same premium quality as the ones you’ll find at
Savi’s Workshop.
I hope that's helpful, Tracy. May the Force be with you and your son!
Mike
