Just this last week at the SXSW convention Disney Parks chairman Josh D'Amaro blew everyone's minds all over again when he showed off Disney's real retractable lightsaber. What do we know about this light saber? Is it the first time we have seen this? And will this light saber be for sale in Disney parks soon? Come hang out and let's talk about it.
How much would you pay for this fully retractable lightsaber?
Let me know down in the comments!

How much would you Pay for this Retractable Lightsaber? 💰
How much would you pay?
To be realistic about $100.000 because that is cheaper then the grogu (baby yoda) robot and it is visible in galaxy's edge.
I’d pay $250 for that!
Definitely more expensive than the legacy/Hasbro ones. Besides the price increase with inflation, it may be a premium price for Disney. ....hoo boy.
As it is? No way I'm giving them money. The blade, would bend too easily as it heats up. In a few years, maybe a decade, it may stay solid enough to stand up to how a kid would want to spar with it.
The blade is covered in a transparent light diffusing bag of some sort. As it retracts it is essentially smooshed at the bottom. This is why they can’t actually swing it because there’s no structural stability to it, it would just bend over and collapse like a measurement tape with a bag on it. It’s made to look nice, that’s it.
😮
Very interesting theory
Yeah it's gonna be a long time before they get it to a stage it's able to be sold. The way they're holding it, no sudden movement or it'll flop about.
Damn ): hopefully they’ll learn a little on how to actually make a durable retractable light saber
No shit
The blade needs to be a little longer and obviously stronger so that you can swing it. I’m fine if I couldn’t duel but being able to twirl and stuff would be great
For sure man, that blade definitely look shorter than 31 inches
Seems like it was too hard for them to make it longer. I hope we'll see other company's making their own version of it
The blade also needs to be as thick as the original from the prequel trilogy
that's the same thing your girl says about your saber it could be longer and stronger.
sweet pickles!!!!!!!!! Sam Bankman Fried!!!!!!!!!!
You can't duel with them right? I know in the lightsaber show Rey puts down the retractable lightsaber and picks up the dueling saber during the show. Awesome video Obi-Dad. Really awesome stuff. Thank you so much for sharing this with us all,have a great day and may the force be with you always.
Hey John, thank you so much for the kind comment. Definitely not, which is why Rey swaps it out. 😆🤷🏼♂️
@@FindingTheForce she could’ve swapped it out more subtly but no she just very obviously placed it down and picks up a different one
I think the saber is made of a flexi plastic so it can be collapsed, so that’s why she put it down
@@finitoackermann a way she could’ve done it, is they could have had a cannon on a catwalk, so she could pretend to fall over, then grab the second one and start the fight
If you do it like Kylo Ren and Luke Skywalker's force projection, you probably can.
He's not even holding it in a way where it would constitute a 'swing'. He's holding it like it's covered in eggshells held together with twine and scotch tape. Looks effing slick though. In a few years, I bet they'll have a few different upgraded versions from this.
I strongly doubt this will be able to be strengthened much. Disney R&D is impressive to be sure, but if this blade operates much the way people have suspected for a while then it'll probably be a gee-whiz showpiece level item without any dueling capability, just the extend-retract action. Which, to be clear, is really cool and probably something Disney could sell for a thousand USD a pop, but... well, don't get your hopes up too much.
Yup... could't agree with you more Saavy.
Has great potential for augmented reality and using something like Sony's haptic feedback tech it could work well for duels like that, though.
What would be dope is if they add a vibration when it clashes so you know, you know?
Also what's with the fat hilt I've watched KZheadrs make the same thing with smaller hilts
my theory is that it's kinda like a long baloon that inflates and deflates. given that you can't duel with that would also make sens. that plus if it uses servos it would have to somehow have somthing that's strong enough aswell as long ennough to connect the servo in the handle to the tip of the blade
Meanwhile Hacksmith is out here making real lightsabers that burn and melt stuff 😂
I think it retracts the same way the toys do, just with servos programed to extract and retract. If you look close enough you can see the parts in the "blade" going down, meeting another piece, and both going down. The servos would need room to do the work mechanically. Seems pretty simple...
Amazing video I hope this comes out in parks thanks for the update love you vids
its probably wouldnt sell that much. In cinematography of lightsabers made by fans in youtube, even in professional work, a Neopixel saber in camera really looks like a real lightsaber, even in the Mandalorian, they use Neo sabers to shoot scenes. this retractable saber has really cool aesthetics indeed, but imagine if its broken, since its a new tech, there will be less than a handful of repairs tutorial and very little people that can fix it. everything that moves up and down makes problem. what happen if dust go in etc
Yeah... knowing Disney we will only get a 30 day warranty. : /
@@FindingTheForcedefinitely.
:(
Why all the negativity it’s 2023 hasbro made a self transforming optimus prime for gods sake! Why can’t Disney make a strong dueling saber that’s ALSO retractable?!
@@pavloszimbrakos4410 because it wouldnt sell much? how much do you want to Charge it? $2k? how many would it sell and how many should they make. besides, Market of consumers wants Disney to make their own version of Neopixel lightsabers with their respective board is Niche, let alone a retracting lightsaber. their cartoons and their own live action sells more in terms of toys and merch than Star wars, this is proven in China's market. So unfortunately they focus on bigger market than ours. And disney never make any quality Electronics, its bound to die off quickly and be a decoration real quick
I highly doubt that these are/will ever be in mass production anytime soon. Disney's "Imagineers" are always doing this "look what we can do!" kinda stuff that isn't meant to be commercially available
Personally, I'll wait until S3 or SaberForge comes out with their versions. Disney tends to "water down" their saber electronics technology. But this is definitely a major breakthrough in saber technology. I won't deny them that.
Apple could’ve wrecked this but they didn’t make the isaber concept real 😞
I'd probably pay up to $500 for Disney's retractable lightsaber. Even if I can't hit it on anything, it is the closest thing we've ever experienced to a "real looking" lightsaber. When I show people my sabers, that'd be the #1 item I go to. Sure I can do cool effects with my proffie/neopixel but the magic isn't there when I have to put a blade in and tighten it down with an allen wrench.
If apples concept the isaber was real that would be even better because it would be a projected blade that looks realistic and you could swing it because it’s just a micro projector and not a big piece of plastic but sadly I don’t think that’s making past the concept stage
I think this thing is still delicate as heck so they can’t sell it yet. It seems they finally learned to get it to retract and not just open up, so that’s good.
If I had to build this thing, I'd use an inflated cloth tube of some sort. Something which can diffuse the light evenly and which can be carefully rolled or folded so that it "activates" realistically. Install a bright colour LED and a loud lightsaber hum (to cover the noise of the small blower fan) and working lightsaber. Which you can't swing. Which can be "deflated" but not "retracted" as expected.
i,d would like to personally hold it and see it work before i consider buying a retractable lightsaber for my family. it certainly looks like a lot of fun as long as it doesn't harm anyone like in the star wars movies. may the force be with you!
Their R&D really is working hard on this one, last time, when he turn it on/power it up, it stayed that way, notice when he passed it to another staff, its still on. This year, it does turn off/power down, thats why im much more excited about its future. They are not giving up, couple of years later its duel ready, for light duels 😁😅
Not that hard, they had the patent for 2 years and it’s not an ICBM they are building…
By the way, based on the patent drawing, this might be a "flat" blade. Think of it like a retractable tape measure, probably made of a luminescent (OLED) plastic?
Good point, but I think the og patent might be "phase1" or gen1. When you make improvements you don't have to update the patent if the idea you are patenting stays the same. One semi easy way to accomplish the flat idea is what is EL tape. Electro luminescent tape or wire is basically a band of glowing stuff that they could roll up. Cover that with a diffuser and badda-bing.
Exactly what someone else said, the hilt is ridiculously large like a thermos and I wouldn't want to carry around a big bulky saber even if it could retract like that. I'm happy with my neopixel ultrasaber which I paid $500 for, it does all the things I want it to do and it looks really cool. So I'm not going to be giving Disney any more money over what I pay for Disney TV. I'm disabled and can't go to the parks anymore as I have a service dog and it would not be fair to put him through that kind of environment, besides I couldn't go on any of the rides. But I remember when I was a little boy around 1967 my grandfather would take me to Disneyland all the time and you hardly had to pay anything to go in the park, all the rides had ticket booths at them if you wanted to ride them then they came out with the ticket books you could buy, but we used to go just to ride the teacups, and have lunch and ice cream.
Honestly I hope not, a good light saber that you can duel with can run anywhere between $150-1,500 or more depending on what you spec it with. The fact it's retractable is not going to be a cheap function, but you won't be able to do as much with it. Don't get me wrong it'd look great as a cosplay option, but past that you're not really going to have as much fun with it at say a larp event or just goofing around like at what happens at a cosplay event or just hanging out with friends.
Good point Mr. Graves, we have sabers for show, and others for play! 😆👍🏻
You hope they don't sell it??? Just don't buy it lol. Let the rest of us buy it.
@@roadcyclist1 dude there's a guy right now working on a dueling retractable saber right now, and it's most likely going to be cheaper than this one by half the price by the sounds of it. I'm just waiting on that one
@@mr.graves2867 Do you have a source on that? I am interested.
@Throw Acnt yeah, sure, kzhead.infoYn8SaWxO_mk?feature=share This is the short that the guy made. So far, it looks promising.
I sure do hope so! Love your videos!😊
Hey Ben, thanks a lot man I appreciate that. 🙏🏻
You have great energy bro, and it’s good to hear a “man my age” talk about things that they love! On Price, It really would depend on how “durable” it was and if it was made as an item that could be handed down to your children. If this were a collectible and not a novelty, I could see it ranging 399.00 to 799.00 for most models, and $999 for most “detailed” versions once mass produced. 🇺🇸🙌🏻🚁
I paid close to $1,500 for my Rey scavenger from KR. I would pay a lot more than that if they could scale it down to actual size and if it’s as cool as it looks from a distance
Hmm, at this point as small and bright as led are these should already be available, rather than a stiff rigid plastic the round part of the blade itself is probably made of some high reflective fabric with extension rods pushing it up and stretching it out as it extends. If I’m correct then that means that no they wouldn’t be able to hit with them as the fabric could tear or the extension rods could snap or the emitters could be damaged. But the extending is still very cool, I’m sure they will keep improving on it.
A flame isn't a light saber. No matter how cool it looks. But that retractable one is definitely cool
Are any of the lightsabers on the market interactive yet? Similar to how you can us some of the wands at Universal Studios to interact with some of the attractions, I'm curious if there is way to use your lightsaber in an interactive way at Disneyland (e.g. battle a hologram, open a door, etc.)
No sadly but luckily for you and me they now have the Harry Potter magic caster wand you can buy on the flip side sadly Star Wars isn’t quite there yet so I’m glad Harry Potter and transformers are lol
8:41 it was definitely the sound system of the building. I doubt they could fit in sound electronics with all the other stuff packed inside the lightsaber
No thats the reason why the hilt is so big because it can fit everything in there
Hey ranger, I think you’re right man. I doubt they have Bluetooth in that thing lol
@@FindingTheForce just good timing on the sound effects. The A/V guys worked hard
Speaking as a sound engineer the sounds could come from the hilt, the lapel or headset mic would be sensitive enough to pick up any sounds it did make. From an electrical engineer stand point, it would be easier to make it just come from the speakers then cram more junk in the chonky handle. Accelerometer, speaker, gyroscope, battery, motors, switches, Arduino, and oh yeah the blade.
As a 3d printing/invention nerd, it looks like it's a car antenna motor with LED wire around it or that electrified paint that glows (EL Paint). The Car antenna connects to a wire on a motor in the hilt that pushes the saber out and back. The shaft is most likely two or three pieces of clear that slide along each other and are incredibly thin so you don't see where they overlap as it extends. All the force/weight is on the aluminum core antenna much like a car radio antenna from the 80s would be. So it's not that hard to actually build something quite similar. I think the real issue you have fundamentally is the lighting. Do you use projection lighting, or do you use LED EL wire/paint? I would bet they use projection lighting because it would be much more even and if you got the walls thin enough it would basically be like those toys that pop out when you swing them. So really, while cool, not that cool
Its air compressed in to a bag, and a vacuum pump
It will be super expensive, but i hope yes. Love your videos
Its a pos. Look at how he holds and swings it. Hes afraid itll fall apart. Wait til a real saber building company makes it. Cuz they faking the shit out of its quality.
Hey Marco, thanks a lot man. Really appreciate your comment. 🙏🏻
I saw one in the galxy’s edge documentary on Disney+ I then put a retractable lightsaber on my Xmas list. I was disappointed to find it didn’t exist and took it off my list. Still scarred but it is now the thing I want most
Wish this was something you could buy because this light sabre would definitely be worth the money, it looks and works almost like on screen.
i would choose a Proffie Neopixel saber over this one any time of the day :)
It’s definitely the most realistic saber ever built. However, I think the closest thing we’re gonna get to that saber thats durable enough to duel with is the force action lightsaber. They have lights and sounds and they fully retract into their hilts, that’s good enough for me.
You gotta check out the Hacksmiths lightsaber. Melts metals😂
@@megazillia I personally don’t count that one. All it pretty much is: a fancy cutting torch.
It would be sick if they made one of these light sabers but a cross guard version like in Jedi survivor, it would make up for the bulk because in the game it’s a big heavy blade
They most likely already have them up for sale but with the price being so high and only as a display prop and not an actual dueling or training instrument it most likely won't sell well. I have two prop sabers from a fan company called Park Sabers now called Ultra Sabers and their sabers are incredible. The stuff they have now most likely will have speakers for the lightsabers being swung and if the blade impacts something but the overall thing is that each one was made for durability
It’ll make the hilts bigger and that will take away from the actual One to one replicas I’ll stick with the regular legacy and black series lightsabers
first time seeing one of ur videos and u had me at Obi Dad Kenobi!
The look is great BUT from what I've heard the blades low rigidity (which is necessary to make that mechanism work) makes it visibly bend from moving it at anything above snail's pace.
Could use a car antenna type contraption wrapped in LEDs with a small motor in the hilt to retract. The blade exterior could be reflective soft balloon type material.
The most practical way to create this effect would be to use 2 or 3 hollow tubes that fit into one another. An air pump in the handle would pressurize the tubes forcing them to extend out from the handle. To retract the tubes the air pump runs in reverse sucking air out of the tube thus retracting both the tubes back into the handle.
Look how careful he is when the blade is out. I'll bet you couldn't even swing it.
I’m called “Papa-One Kenobi” in my house.
I think the reason they arnt selling this thing is probably because of tolerances and wear. I bet it can only do a very limited number of deployments and retractions before parts start to wear out.
Just started getting into Star Wars, I always loved the lore but couldn’t really get into to the movies. Went shopping online for a lightsaber and was taken back on how expensive they are. In todays economy, I am doomed to be saberless
I would buy one cuz it's the first one come out but if they refine it more and make even better I would buy it to. But it needs to be they're to purchase in the park not just on the the galactic starcruiser.
I think its a retractable rubber balloon with retractable metal or something metal inside the rubber that when switch on the retractable metal or hard plastic of any kind will erect, you remember the plumber rubber retractable that they are inserting inside a pipe to unclogged the pipe or to repipe the broken pipe, i think that is the principle.
8:10 They have the patent on it, no one else can make anything like this! CHINA : *Hold my rice wine*
The "ears" are not pointed the "wrong" way, per se. The standard configuration seem "Empire" on is the indeed with the clamp in the 9 o'clock position, (when looking into the emitter, with ears pointed up at 12 o'clock). The "A New Hope" version, however, is seen in multiple configurations, but is primarily seen with the clamp at the 1:30 position, as is the case here.
Just as a note, the bunny ears on that new Disney retractable saber are pointing the correct way, the ears come out at the peak of the emitter slant, it just looks weird with the control box clamp position.
The sound is from the loudspeakers.
A saber staff/pike would be perfect for this
Is there any solution to getting low-latency audio transmitted from a duel-friendly lightsaber to external speakers? Is attaching a wifi lapel microphone to the hilt a reasonable option?
That's a great question man, I have wondered that myself. But I think the delay would kill the effect. I love your furry KZhead profile picture by the way lol.
@@FindingTheForce I think there’s something with transmitting just the sensor data to an external processor that generates the sounds and outputs to a speaker, but I don’t know the details.
I wait for the combat ready version :D It would worth a lot.
One of, if not the only good thing disney has ever done for star wars.
Love the shirt. Own it myself and it’s always a crowd favorite
Disney confirmed in 2021 that will never be sold or usable by guests, so that answers that.
Well back in 2021 they weren't bleeding money like a stuck pig. Things change, and they know they would sell a butt loads of these.
@@1223optimus They would also lose a ton of money having to fix them for customers after their kids break them. Or they would have to sell them at super high costs to get around this and would take PR hits for it. I suppose anything is always possible, but I wouldn't count on it unless they really improve fabrication methods and reliability.
I do alot of designing as a hobby and working on my own mechanisms, I'm currently designing a working webshooter, obv not real webs... atm. But my next project is to design a retractable lightsaber which I've just started designing
The sound is probably coming from the saber and is picked up by the mic so it is heard as if it is just played from the speakers
"It works with air, it's a kind of balloon that inflates and retracts itself. You can also see that they move very carefully once it's extended. Rey picks up another lightsaber from the ground that is solid, because you can't have a lightsaber duel with a balloon, it wobbles in all directions."
How did you hang the lightsabers on the wall?
THIS IS THE MOUSES HOUSE NOW I died xD
Where did you get your lightsaber wall mounts?
Hey bud, glad I saw your comment. I actually found them on eBay. Can’t remember the seller but I think they were only like 20 or $30 each. 👍🏻
I kinda now want to see how they would do Kylo's to have 3 retractable blades.
What other starships do you have to put on your trophy stands?
6:06 Actually, your comment about the bunny ears is wrong. They are supposed to be different. You're comparing the ANH version of the prop to the ESB/TFA version of the prop. The clocking on activation box was on the other side in ESB and that carried over to the TFA/TLJ prop as well, so technically they got that right. Sorry, I just have done way too much research on the graflex hilts.
He’s so gentle with it because it has the stability of a tape measure.
I wonder how many people fainted when they saw the saber at the convention, I definitely didn't when I first saw it.
This is gonna go off into myth. Just like the "hoverboard" from Back 2. Just gonna make my peace with it.
This would make fan films and stuff a lot easier to film
I would pay at least $20 for that lightsaber! MAYBE EVEN $25!
Oh come onnn... 😣
Same here, I don't know why people spent those amount of money on a led toy. This is the reason that we don't have a real light saber yet.
I would say a reasonable 280 to 300 would be fair for the saber given how complex it is. 500 to a 1000 it to much unless it can be used in duels
I'm now following you on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. May the Force be with you.
Since I first saw a Star Wars movie in the 70s I wanted one like this
I know how they did the r&d for the lightsaber…it was a continuation of your story. Except one large goon gave the dude a haymaker, then puts his knee on his neck, while the corporate stooge with them bends down and said “well hello there, I just wanted to get your signature giving Disney all of your research, prototypes, and all data…and that you did this all of your own will for free.” The guy then had his arm pulled out from under him with a pen in hand, and had him sign it. Before the ink had even dried, the stooge nodded to the big goon and he twisted his knee to the right breaking the guys neck. Then all hard drives were taken and all personal accounts were deleted. With just a note left saying: “hello. I am tired of doing internet things. I am going to live in the forest from now on, please do not attempt to contact me. P.S. you should also visit Disneyland as much as possible in my honor and buy as many Disney products as possible.”
Before watching how it works… my assumption would be that it’s just that the plastics ‘saber’ retracts much the way the toy old ways when you’d whip it to make it come out… except it retracts mechanically… that’s what I’d have guessed
For some shot in fan made film it would be verry effective . It would solve some problems for me .then change for the real neopixel for the fight itself !
Ultra sabers are sick expensive but sick sound boards and Modifiable sound board and color shit with the Obsidian board chip and Ultra strong ass blades
Bro it’s a string of leds lmao. Yoda be like “got this from Walmart you did”
This secret warehouse you mention…is this the same warehouse that I’d the last known resting place of the Ark of the Covenant?😉
I love how you say “Josh Diiaaammaarrro”.
I think its just like a giant LED strip that works like a tape measure and is so bright you cant see the shape, and would be wobly if swung fast
How do you think they retract it? (I love talking to creators) like, a spring? What’s your guess? Or theory. I am speechless and have absolutely nothing to say about how they retract. Like in Star Wars, if they had toys for scenes, did they use CGI to erase a part of the lightsaber at a time and un- erased it from the bottom to top to make it look like it’s coming up? How the hell do they do this?
I hope with the announcement of them closing the Galactic Starcruiser experience, they may sell the retractable lightsaber at some point in the future.
I can't wait till they're actually durable enough to duel it
The lightsabers in this video weren’t the only things getting turned on. 😂
ATF going to get their hand on this fast asf.. I can sense them already making up laws for them..
How much would I pay? Well, so: to make your own: 2x tape extendable measures, some batteries, a strip of LEDs, a motor, some other electrical wires and buttons and such, some sort of case for the handle (PVC or metal), and finally some paint and other bits 'n' bobs - I reckon I could make one (using all new parts) for $200, minus the money for the hours I'd charge a client for labour. If I got secondhand parts, I could probably get it down to $90 or so. N.B. I *am* a metalworker and woodworker though. I'd pay double that $90 (or just over) for an official Disney version then considering they're still working on it. This can't be the final desired result.
Why wouldn’t you just use a retracting car antenna mounted in a hilt holding batteries? Press the button and it drags out super bright, compact LED strips from a reel. Press the button again and the reel winds up the LED strip as the car antenna comes back in.
Star Wars was absolutely mind blowing.......when I was 9 yrs old.
So the diameter is not changing when it collapses or expands then what is really happening? Is it a spiral type design that maintains the diameter but still can collapse and expand ?
It's probably just an air inflated tube with lights illuminating the fabric.
Hopefully Disney can make one the is durable and looks good. And the price is right. As it is now it's a great display piece.
The bunny ears are literally not pointing the wrong direction. I think you're mistaken, my friend. :P
I say $500,- would be about a perfect price point. But I guess they will sell for much more unfortunately. If Disney plays their cards right, they will be a park only available purchase, so they can have a double win.
This thing isn’t made for dueling. Not even for filming either. You can see in the hotel show that when Rey ignites it, she has to grab the dueling saber from the floor when Kylo Ren pushes her or something. I can’t remember the whole thing, saw it in a video.
Can it take hard combat cause i will not buy non combat ones
If you can dual with it then yes it's worth it for the money but it still looks cool
1. the hacksmiths lightsaber also retracts^^ 2. the hacksmith states multiple times that his is a PROTO- lightsaber...
It's like a light-up whacky waving flailing inflatable tube-man, without the wacky waving and -man part...
This is something I find super cool, but I’ll sit on for at least 10 years so they have time to actually perfect it, even when they first hit shelves I’ll just wait a few more years from there, let everyone else break theirs first. How much would I pay? Nothing too crazy, I’d probably max out at $800 and that’s pushing it for something that has no real use for me other than making me say “that’s so cool” and I’d want it to be fairly durable and accurate in the hilt (for display) for that price too. I’m fine with it being like the jet pack though, we all want a real one, we’ve got them in real life and they work, but we’ve also all accepted we won’t own one or be able to fly to the shops and back. Same time at this point just call me when they make an actual real lightsaber.
