Hey there, Debbie, or should I say Bright Suns?! Either way, welcome to planDisney. We are so glad you've stopped by.
It's never fun when you make an exciting purchase and you can't use it! I have yet to add any lightsabers to my Disney merchandise hauls, but I did a little research. To turn on a legacy lightsaber try searching for a button or prominent mechanism on the hilt. This is called the activation stud. Each lightsaber is different so it could be an actual button, but also could be a dial, slide switch, or lever that you would need to move to activate the energy blade. Also, most legacy lightsabers produce a specific noise when activated. If you've tried to look for these and still are not able to activate the force, then I would suggest reaching out to
Merchandise Services to see if they may have a more helpful walk-through for you.
Hopefully, you are planning on another visit to Disneyland for
Season of the Force. I know so many Guests are excited for this to return to Disneyland Resort this year, along with
Star Wars Nite. Tickets recently became available for this and by some miracle, they still have
tickets available if you were thinking about attending!
Debbie, I hope this information helps. Please come back and visit us again with any of your planning questions!
