      Finding The Force I think it’s the internals I watched a video on RUclips and this guy had the same problem as me and he took apart his savis workshop lightsaber and replaced a wire but my parents won’t let me do it for obvious reasons it’s a 200 dollar lightsaber but I got the Disney parks Rey deluxe lightsaber as my display piece and my ultrasabers graflex as my battle saber so and I love Disneyland so I put the savis saber on my shelf with that stuff but I always wanted the graflex style lightsaber it just calls to me so I’m happy those work and had no problem with them

      ThePenguin Well that’s how I feel about force FX sabers. But the staff at Galaxy’s Edge told me that they were able to be dueled with!!!... because of the design of the blade connectors. 🤷🏼‍♂️ And he was only like five years old at the time, I mentioned that in the video as well. Not like we were two teenage guys smashing them together.

      I collect Star Wars Black series figures, right and if Hasbro me dirty like that I would lose my goddamn s right up their goddamn arses.
      I’m just sorry for both of you because ultimately you and your son mucking around with the lightsabers it’s like a father-son bonding session where everybody else in your family is supportive around you.

    It has been common knowledge for years since the days of Master Replicas (the original force fx saber sellers) that ALL of these type sabers were never meant for dueling,just collecting/shelf displays. Sabers made by ultrasabers,saberforge,vaders vault and many other custom saber builders however are made for full contact fun.

    • @FindingTheForce
      @FindingTheForce  3 года назад +52

      Ahhh... when you put it that way, that makes a lot of sense. When my son was 4 I'm not sure you could even call it "dueling" when we would play fight in the backyard.
      However... all of the Galaxy's Edge staff would promote their lightsabers as "Duel Worthy".. designing the blade attachment to have wiggle room and take some of the force from dueling. So it's kind of a different story than the Force FX sabers.

    • @mkendall8393
      @mkendall8393 3 года назад +9

      I agree. The very first Master Replicas stated on the box not for any dueling for decoration only. These should never be used even for light dueling. Go to Saberforge just expect to pay several hundred to near a thousand for all the goodies.

      Finding the force, thx for the quick reply. After I got my Rey legacy saber from Galaxys Edge, we returned to the hotel after a while, so we arrived to the room at night. By then, I still hadn’t pressed the power button to my saber because I wanted to wait until I could ignite it in the dark. Turned out to be a mistake because the sound was good but the light was not there. We couldn’t return because it was too late and we had a flight the next morning,(we dont live in USA). At home, I sent the saber back and after a while I was worried, until I saw ur video and I was happy I wasn’t the only one. Thanks again, Sutter family!

    Did the full saber savi gig in July. 560 for 2 sabers all the add on’s plus all the kyber crystals. Have to pull the battery packs after every use. No dueling or banging the blades as the soldered connections will eventually fail. If you duel be prepared to buy new blades. They are display items that you can fire up and lightly use in the end. It is what it is… Well worth the experience with my son.

      Hey Saturn! It sounds like you are super knowledgeable about your sabers! Taking fantastic care of them. We would have done the same thing if the staff in Galaxy's Edge had told us they were not meant for even light tapping! But unfortunately that's not what happened, they told us they were fine for play fighting and so that's what we did.
      I don't regret it though, because we met a fantastic Saber Smith who ended up converting our broken saber into Neil pixel. I hope you check out that video.

    Recently went to savis last week and it seemed fine. But now I’m unsure. When the blade lights up, we see rings inside the blade. Is this normal?

    • @FindingTheForce
      @FindingTheForce  2 года назад +1

      Hey Magic. "rings inside the blade"... I think what you are referring to in the light saber world is called the "corn-cobbing" effect. That's when you can see very faint dark gaps in between the lights because they are not bright enough to fill the whole blade. Unfortunately that is normal with these blades that don't have more advanced lights. I hope we could help, thanks for watching

    If those are the features you are looking for I suggest looking into Rebel Sabers. Sabers ment for dueling ( depending on model, thin neck sabers are not recommended for heavy dueling ) and well worth the price for them. I grabbed two of their elegant whirlwind sabers and I'm EXTREMELY pleased with them. I planned on making my own customization to them so I went with a simple saber style. 4 tiers of sabers initiate, apprentice, knight, and master. Their BASE sabers come with 6 fonts, 12 rgb colors, stable/pulse/unstable, flash on clash, lock up, blaster deflection, rechargeable and as an added touch..... 5 songs from the movies that you can play AND have all the saber sounds going on at the same time, great for little ones that want to feel like they are really IN star wars. Great prices for the features you get. I paid 90$ each and I had them within 14-18 days of ordering. And from the reviews I've seen on them they are quick to respond and fix problems with orders.

      Hey Karl. Oh no, that's terrible. That's the same problem we are having! The only troubleshooting you can do is to replace the batteries and try a different blade.

    I would recommend getting one custom saber. Overall the craftsmanship is better, accuracy is way better and you get to customize it exactly the way you like. It around $800-$1200 for a decent one but it’s really worth it. It’s like a Mercedes/Ferrari/Rolls-Royce compared to a Chevy.

      hahaha... a "decent" one!?! for 1200$ lol... I'm hoping to get an awesome bad ass lightsaber for less than that, with all of our wish list. What did you think of our wish list?

    • @thesneakertifosi
      @thesneakertifosi 3 года назад +1

      Finding The Force I’ll should explain further. At $1200, a decent one would be you have a metal hilt, simple chassis with no detailing, proffie board which is the one of the best in the business, and a neopixel set up. This would give you things like smooth swing, random blaster block, lighting block, force use, localized lock up, any color combo you could imagine including a rainbow/unicorn one, effects like a flame saber or an unstable one, melt through wall effect like Qui Gon in episode 1, any sound effect you pretty much wish. A top tier saber is one that would have a quartz crystal chamber with detailed metal, copper, brass and/or silver inlays with movable parts like a spinning plasma gate. The hilts on them can be a real folmer graflex which alone is about $1000 due to it’s rarity. The folmer is the one Luke had in episode 4 and 5. Those babies can run you $3000-$5000 depending on how detailed you go. Hope this helps.

    id say use ultrasabers or sabertrio,texas custom sabers also I think the reason the blades broke is due the disney licensed ones being String blades so they are not suitable for combat so for my stunt saber (and all mine) they are like a flashlight with the blade just being ultra reflective so they are really good for combat (also quite bright). also I never really trusted disney when it comes to lightsabers for the broken lightsaber..Id say send them off to a modder and he/she will make them combat ready or whatever you choose. also they pretty much PLAN for them to break so you buy a new one that happens quite a bit nowadays :(

I was supposed to go to galaxy's edge a view months ago (couldn't because the pandemic) and i was going to get the legacy vader lightsaber as a replacement. On the other hand, during quarantine, i found a lightsaber conversion site "pittforcefive" who can convert force fx sabers with a neopixel blade. The problem with that is if I want to convert my force fx lightsaber, i'll have to pay 300$ more than the galaxy's edge legacy saber (and i still plan on going to Disneyland with my family). So which would you recommend i do? Get the legacy saber for about 170-200$... or get a neopixle conversion done on my already existing force fx saber for like 570-620$

If you’re going for Neopixal, make sure to source heavy grade neopixal blades (affordable ones from saberforge, sabertrio, and Bendu armory).

    Ouch that sucks. For those who live in Cali or Florida at least people can go back to get it replaced, but for those of us who are out of state that just isn't an option. As for me, I don't play with my lightsabers much (just turn it on and off and swing it around once in a while) so there are no issues so far but I did have this weird thing with the Savi's 30" blade where it turned pink and then just wouldn't light up. Luckily I have two 36" blades so it was fine. Weird thing is one of the blades is SUPER tight while the other was just fine so I dunno what Disney is doing with their quality control. As for Sabersmiths, go to sabersourcing.com/list-of-sabersmiths/ and there is a list of Sabersmiths both international and domestic. Tho lately I gotta say I would go with the custom vendors out there if you really want sabers you can really go to town with...

    I have 8 legacy sabers and 2 of them have manufacturing issues. I have a Luke ROTJ that has the same exact problem as your Rey Legacy...everything works but lights. When I jimmy with the push pins in the hilt (which connects to the blade) I can get the blade to illuminate occasionally. I also have the Kenobi and the blade color seems like a darker blue than it should be and its about 50% brightness....and yes, I have tested with 4 different blades too.

    The thing with these lightsabers is that I don’t think they are designed with the purpose of being used for dueling. (Which is foolish considering how tempting it is to duel with them because of how realistic they are). I don’t own any legacy lightsabers I own Hasbro Black Series lightsabers and all of them work perfectly, but I also haven’t ever used them for dueling so that might be why. I keep them inside the box and display them every now and then. I’m just super protective with them you know 😂
