Get ready, Padawans and Jedi Masters! Building your own custom lightsaber at Savi’s Workshop just got even more exciting. Whether you’re at Walt Disney World Resort or Disneyland Resort, new hilt themes and incredible tech upgrades are waiting for you on Planet Batuu.
Starting October 5, 2026, Savi’s Workshop debuts the highly anticipated “Protection and Defense” series. Imagine crafting a lightsaber with striking white finishes and elegant gold detailing, adorned with mysterious ancient Jedi iconography. This design, preserved in the Jedi archives, celebrates the optimistic era of the High Republic, honoring those who dedicated themselves to protecting others. It’s a powerful way to carry the legacy of peace and hope into your own adventures.
Experience the Future of Lightsaber Crafting
But that’s not all! Every lightsaber chassis and blade, no matter the hilt theme you choose, now features incredible enhancements. Get ready for an all-new thermal cutting effect, a dynamic spinning effect, and realistic deflection effects. The audio quality is upgraded, and blade activation is smoother than ever, making your experience truly immersive.
Want to unlock a secret? Pair your lightsaber with special “cracked” Kyber crystals. With a quick flick of your wrist, you can trigger a unique color-change effect, symbolizing the constant struggle between the light and dark sides of the Force within you. It’s a fantastic detail that brings even more depth to your creation.
Are you ready to transform scattered, reclaimed parts into an elegant weapon for a more civilized age? This experience requires a purchase, and advanced reservations are strongly encouraged for both locations at Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort to secure your spot.
A Glimpse into the Past: “Reclaimed and Reforged” (Limited Time)
Travelers to Batuu might also find a unique, limited-time offering. As of April 25, 2025, you can explore the “Reclaimed and Reforged” hilt theme. This collection lets you build your lightsaber from scraps scavenged from ancient battlefields, crashed ships, and other abandoned pieces found across the galaxy. Each piece tells a story, bringing together remnants of the past to forge something entirely new, yet forever linked to its mysterious origins.
While “Reclaimed and Reforged” is only available for a limited time, Savi’s Workshop offers four other timeless themes year-round:
- Peace and Justice
- Power and Control
- Elemental Nature
- Protection and Defense
When you arrive, a Gatherer will help you choose your hilt theme. Once inside the workshop, you’ll start assembling your unique hilt, with parts provided based on your chosen theme. Each box of parts includes:
- 1 hilt
- 4 sleeves (you pick 2)
- 2 emitters (you pick 1)
- 2 pommel caps (you pick 1)
- 2 sets of activation plates and switches (you pick 1 set)
After you complete your hilt and return any unused pieces, the moment of truth arrives: connecting your hilt to a lightsaber blade! Will your chosen Kyber crystal ignite your blade red, blue, green, or violet? The Force will guide your choice, determining if you follow the path of the Jedi or embrace the power of the dark side.
