You probably can't use it as a battle prop, if you notice in the clip showing "Rey" on the cruise ship, she drops to the ground and swaps sabers before starting her fight with "Kylo" I guess she didnt want to break the prototype she has or it can't be used in mock battles
It's just more shills shilling for shillperor Kennedy. Disney is a joke that's beating the dead decaying Star Wars horse with their retractable stick saber. They took Kylo's "Let the past die. Kill it if you have to" line a little too seriously. BUT, just like Icarus flying too close to the sun under up with him falling to his death, so too will Disney die on their "truth". And I hope I'll still be alive when that happens!
It's not "average sized or small." Compared to every other sabers in production or that has ever been produced, it's huge. The length is just a little larger, but the diameter is gigantic. Have actually seen one, held it, and ignited it. Its about the size of a Red Bull can and even bigger at the T track grips. It's also not sturdy. The first thing anyone wants to do when you hold a light saber is swing it. And that is exactly what "John Doe" told me not to do. When you move it around, you can see it give way a little. If you actually were to swing it, he confirmed that it will collapse. It is basically a stand still pose prop that they have considered using on actual "Rey" and "Luke" props in their parks. Other than that, it has and will have no uses. If you want to feel like a Jedi or Sith (yes they also have a working Vader) wielding your lightsaber, this will not be your saber. That's another reason they haven't released it. There will be no market for it.
The one I had as a kid (I was born in 1968) was basically a flashlight with an inflatable blade. It didn’t last long with that crappy blade, I can tell you that.
The only thing that doesn't make sense is that the Red Button Fin uses isn't even the activation switch. The rectangle button is the activation switch.
That's the one thing that drives me crazy about this lightsaber. I'm hoping they'll at least gives us an option to turn it on with the Real switch and not the button
@@FindingTheForce No, it's just wrong. As in, Padmé, Finn, and now these people are completely wrong. The top button is a blade length adjustment button and they should have known this while showing these things. The original visual dictionary even shows a cutaway and explanation for the different parts of this very lightsaber, and the top button is clearly marked as being a blade length adjuster. Regardless of it now counting as legends or canon it matched with what had been seen on-screen up until that time, which would make it the most accurate going forward too and these people just going "IT BIG RED BUTTON IT DO THINGS" rather than researching it. I will excuse Lanny in this, due to his being a prototype and it being hard to do more with what you have, but the movies and the show had no excuse.
@@LRJ88 I used to press the red button all the time as a kid until i learned. Doesn't help that the old retractable lightsabers all had red buttons for deployment regardless of saber hilt design
@@FindingTheForce Darn right. I put tin foil around the tube & then colored it with green markers. Had many "Return Of The Jedi" adventures with it. 😆 Oh, to be young again.
what i did as a kid was look for tree branches that were long, thick and straight enough, carve and smoothen them out and color them with a crayon. we would then make a game out of it where whoevers wooden saber would break looses XD
9:00, I'm pretty sure that the Starcruiser lightsabers are completely passive. The emitter on the wall has a camera that tracks the blade and actually even corrects its aim to hit the blade so you feel like you can predict where it's shooting. I think Jenny Nicholson mentioned it directly in her video but it's also pretty visible in some others. This would work with any lightsaber as long as it's the right color and bright enough for the tracking system to distinguish it from the background.
I figured out the difference between the two lightsabers, the one that Ray uses in the events has a tip on it that's rounded, and the one seen in the inventor's hands does not have a tip on it, you can slightly tell by him swinging it around.
Nah, its too fragile, and disney is too lazy to invest in making a more reliable and mass producable version. Also, the mechanism would be likely too expensive to be a reasonable price for a consumer product.
I’m the one who accurately predicted how it works first. In an earlier video, just 6 days after the Rey video went viral, and almost a year before the Star Wars hotel was even a thing. Thank you. I’ll take my props now.
the hacksmith one is amazing, but its not a lightsaber, its a protosaber. aka it has a backpack and a long cable going to the hilt to power the blade. the hacksmith one also doesnt look good at all further up the "blade" as it becomes whisper flame like a candle further away. And you cant swing the hacksmith one quickly at all or the "blade" will get blown in the wind.
didn’t allen pan do it before i’m pretty sure and allen pan based it off another one i can’t remember plus a world record cert doesn’t mean anything if it’s for something with no meaning
It’s so ridiculous how Rey squats to set the first lightsaber down and pick up the sturdy one before fighting. Like, they didn’t even try to hide the fact that she’s switching! They could’ve easily had her run behind a pillar or something that was hollowed out on the backside and holding the sabers.
i hope in the future he makes a base version that can change colour, so cosplayers and other star wars fans can add stuff to it to make their own custom lightsaber
even if you can't use it to play fight with, let's be honest many of us were never going to do that anyway. it would, however, be a game changer for certain shots of fan films!
That treadmil floor is EXACTLY what I've known would eventually be invented for immersive VR someday. Now we just need to wait for it to become affordable to everyone just like a headset has become.
I find it crazy that Star Wars came out in the 70’s and we’re now just barely having retractable light sabers. Such a simple concept but requires a bunch of complex mechanics to make it happen
I've been working on my own prop that does the same thing for about 5 years now. I have everything set-up I just need to get my 3d- printer to start working.
I had the opportunity to work with him! On some projects for overseas. He’s the absolute coolest and humble man that loves his job. Also the workshop you see is his 2nd shop his 1st one was flooded.. those who know.. know.
It never fails to amaze me how much energy and research people keep investing into bringing that admittedly fascinating, but still a bit silly concept of a force field sword to life. The desire to create realistic lightsabers has probably spawned more progress in light forming technology than LCD screens and LED car headlights, to name just one discipline.
That button is NOT the activation switch! The Force awakens got that wrong behind the scenes because I guess nobody ever told them that the button is actually for adjusting the length of the blade.
I was thinking, why hasn't someone highlighted the blade being two separate parts. There's light passing through them and you can't see any seems. That's the real tech.... But then... @5:01
Okay so I'm not going to lie, while it's definitely a cool idea, I too am way more interested in that extra bright lightsaber he was working on, with the glow actually like, hovering around the outside of the blade? How'd he do that, that's incredible? Obviously there he was showing white and not a color that would wrap around the outside of the white blade, but still if he can make that work and look straight out of the movies, whether on camera or even somehow in real life? That's incredible. Again though, the retractable one is a cool idea, I think as it is right now it's way too bulky, and I like to fight with these lightsabers because it's fun. I feel like I probably can't fight with a tube that is just essentially 2 measuring tapes. But we'll see whenever they become commercially available.
It is a great item but the technology used to make it work would make it very expensive to buy. I agree that it will most likely be used as a prop by one of the characters in Galaxy's Edge.
This could be used for a level of practical effects in Star Wars content on television and in films. The cost of adding this in post is a big part of what has led to increases in cost of making films.
That is so awesome mr.lanny is the coolest inventor ever i don't know what will become of his awesome intention but i seriously doubt it's something that everyone can eventually have because it would be difficult to mass produce and would definitely be majorly expensive but it's cool either way, and here's a quote for mr.lanny "He who masters technically masters the Univers".🐉
The lightsaber this video first shows looks like the retractable part is made from the pipe cleaning material plumbers use to line pipes, this obviously is a way smaller version and cosmetically covered with some sort of color to make it not look like a plumbers tool
Am I crazy here? @8:34 is not a new lightsaber with a blended blade. But a hilt standing in front of a obvious monitor that is displaying a video of the blade. You can even see other items in front of the monitor on the bottom left by the hilt.
It's probably going to be used as an effect in a ride where the animatronics only hold a hilt and they can display the blade on a floating screen like they do in the haunted Mansion.
remember when vader looks at luke's saber and says "your training is complete" there should be a story behind that. also his name is sky walker the name obviously means his ancestors understood how to travel space time without moving. ... stargate tech. "anywhere is within walking distance if you have the time" -Stephen wright Ever seen a quasar aka white hole? its the same thing only smaller that is what a light saber is. Only someone who has learned the secret of magnetism could build one. i have an idea for a movie i want to name it the first J.E.D.I about the how the first became enlightened and discovered the force long before the galaxy began to be populated. Soon AGI will allow anyone to make full fledged movies on their laptop.
Rewatch ANH, Luke doesn't push the red button to activate the lightsaber like Finn did in TFA. He pressed the bubble strip in the clamp section to turn it on. Just watch the scene where he first activates it.
If you've ever played with a measuring tape where you've put the tip of the tape back in where the tape comes out. I can see how that technology could work.
I know where some of these are going and that’s to Skywalker Ranch and the boys and girls at LucasFilm and ILM. These are definitely going to worked into the movies and shows soon if they’re not already. At least the tech is as it’s too good not to and the collaboration between these two great engineering and magical companies is long and legendary. They probably collaborated on making them in the first place to make sure it looks so good in the first place.
If i understood it right, that retractable lightsaber use the same mechanical principle as a rigid chain actuator. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_chain_actuator. Think of it as a zipper, flimsy when open (so you can store each side in the form of a spool) and strong when the two side close and interlock. The clever part is being able to make it fit into the saber handle. They are comonly used for the chain rammer in battleship to push 1ton shell into the breach and in some venues to elevate and retract stands and podiums.
It’s cool in theory but look at the size of that sucker you can barely get your hands around it way too bulky definitely needs a few new iterations to make it the size of a normal hilt I sure wouldn’t wanna handle one of those it probably weighs alot too on top of being about three times thicker than any other light saber hilt imo. But it’s definitely an intriguing concept that I’m sure will be incorporated into Lightsaber in the future
Someone else found a way. It was this young guy and girl that figured it out recently too! Now Star Wars isn't the only one......Nee-ner Nee-ner Neeeee-neeerrr!😁
just wait till in the future where we ACTUALLY have lightsabers. when you think about it, we may far in the future live in a galaxy like star wars. we are probably gonna make spaceships like those, we are probably gonna inhabit many different planets, and with all this more land, there will be more enemies and more war probably. and if we still remember star wars to that day, some random group of scientists may just make a lightsaber. thats crazy to think about. either that or we go extinct probably.
I just saw another headline yesterday about them, possibly taking out another permit to build on it? So I really hope they repurpose it somehow to let people experience the magical immersion of being inside of Star Wars. 🙏🏻👍🏻
There’s nothing special about the galactic star cruiser lightsabers. They didn’t deflect light, the lightsaber was being tracked and the light shot to the saber making it appear as if you were deflecting it. There’s breakdown videos of it.
WOW.. 5minutes 29 seconds in and we FINALLY get to hear about the lightsaber..
People milk videos... I hear ya.
Thanks man. Instantly closed the video. Hate having my time wasted.
Hero.
what video were you watching? He was talking about it for longer than that, that's when he finished describing the tech used to make it work
If only there were timestamps, oh wait
You probably can't use it as a battle prop, if you notice in the clip showing "Rey" on the cruise ship, she drops to the ground and swaps sabers before starting her fight with "Kylo" I guess she didnt want to break the prototype she has or it can't be used in mock battles
It is way too fragile you can definitely tell when the Creator swings it around.
Yeah, definitely not made to hit against other things. But who knows what kind of upgrades they can make it overtime 😉 👍🏻
@@FindingTheForce Also as it's basically two tape measures if you swing it too hard it'll probably bend and collapse.
Either way, if they put it into production, I would buy it day one
Although it might be next to impossible if they did the same thing for the darksaber, omg, please take my money
this video isnt providing any real information really
What do you mean? 😂

The glow saber is using the background screen to give the glow effect. It’s not just the saber itself.
It makes me curious if they’ll incorporate that for Savi’s lightsabers? Also, they need to add a curved hilt quite like Count Dooku’s

so they changed the activation? in the original new hope, when Luke gets the lightsaber from Kenobi he uses the side activation box not the button.
Yes! I just made a similar comment. The red button was Never the activation switch. That irked me when Fin turned it on like that.

Does it cut like a real lightsaber?
Thank you sir for bringing us one step closer to making our dreams come true.

It’s cool in theory but look at the size of that sucker you can barely get your hands around it way too bulky definitely needs a few new iterations to make it the size of a normal hilt I sure wouldn’t wanna handle one of those it probably weighs alot too on top of being about three times thicker than any other light saber hilt imo. But it’s definitely an intriguing concept that I’m sure will be incorporated into Lightsaber in the future
Someone else found a way. It was this young guy and girl that figured it out recently too! Now Star Wars isn't the only one......Nee-ner Nee-ner Neeeee-neeerrr!😁
just wait till in the future where we ACTUALLY have lightsabers. when you think about it, we may far in the future live in a galaxy like star wars. we are probably gonna make spaceships like those, we are probably gonna inhabit many different planets, and with all this more land, there will be more enemies and more war probably. and if we still remember star wars to that day, some random group of scientists may just make a lightsaber. thats crazy to think about. either that or we go extinct probably.
That's so phat they started calling it a heavysaber.
Small to average? That thing is huge!
Hahaha…. Yeah, OK fine lol
You weren’t blocking blaster bolts. It’s a trick. The feedback loop was tracking your lightsaber and directing the bolt to you.
That is one fancy Pringles tube
They should really make more of these for different characters and sell them.
I also wish I could have stayed in the starcruiser Hotel
I just saw another headline yesterday about them, possibly taking out another permit to build on it? So I really hope they repurpose it somehow to let people experience the magical immersion of being inside of Star Wars. 🙏🏻👍🏻
It’s gotta be just a rigid balloon with a center actuator, right? I’m assuming CO2 actuated.
This is so cool
There’s nothing special about the galactic star cruiser lightsabers. They didn’t deflect light, the lightsaber was being tracked and the light shot to the saber making it appear as if you were deflecting it. There’s breakdown videos of it.
Please do an analysis of herotech's retractable lightsaber!!
Damn the girth though, you would think with the technology and money Disney has they could have made the hilt slimmer
When and where can this be purchased? That’s all we wanna know.
When will be able to buy them?
