Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Launches in 2022 at Walt Disney World Resort

Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida will take you to a galaxy far, far away for an all-immersive, two-night vacation experience that goes beyond anything Disney has ever created before. What exactly does

disneyparks.disney.go.com

Yes, that’s a new type of lightsaber Rey is holding in her hand, created by Walt Disney Imagineering Research and Development. Guests who experience Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser will be the first to see it in action – along with so much more – starting in 2022 when this amazing new two-night adventure debuts.

If you're wondering, the hotel is a two-night stay at WDW that connects directly to Galaxy's Edge. It'll be something like $1000 a night.

Isn't that just a glowing stick? I want the real thing, like this:

 

[Ballthyrm]

A fake working Lightsaber *
AFAIK you can't cut limbs with it just yet.

 

[ManaByte]

yet

 

[Husky]

Okay, it's not real, but the exciting part is how the blade properly unsheathes

 

[AJUMP23]

It is essentially a tape measure, from what I have read about them.

 

[INC]

Be more impressive if they could make daisy ridley a decent actor

 

[SJRB]

So I can spend two nights at Disney with Daisy Ridley fondling with light sabers?

For 1000 a night?

Hmmmmm

 

[FreedomOfSpeech]

This eternal fascination with light sabers....

It's never gonna happen folks.

Yeah, I don't understand the science of physics about the light not extending infinitely.

I'm sure at some point it might be feasible, but a real lightsaber would be less useful than a fake one.

 

[Ememee]

I feel I’ve read over a dozen articles like this since I was a kid

But hey, kudos to them. Probably the best looking one yet.

Clickbait, it’s a toy with an automatic retractable plastic blade. REAL LIGHTSABER means a real laser sword fucktards. Journalists really need to learn what words mean.

Real enough, considering it's imaginary to begin with.

She is, but you can’t out act a bad script.

Take that back you monster (see what I did there?).

Daisy is bae, she can't help that JJ and Rian Johnson are hacks that are labeled as auteurs (more like autistic). I still think the sequel trilogy is >>> the prequels.

On topic: I think the one that the weapons guys made is more legit tbh.

Was just about to bring this up.

I was cracking up when he was doing the different color with salts.

 

[Mistershine.]

Yeah, I don't understand the science of physics about the light not extending infinitely.

Black hole generator apparently.

 

[raduque]

Showing my hypernerd side here, but IIRC, it's supposed to be magnetically contained, superheated plasma. We have the technology to magnetically contain superheated plasma, but not the technology to control the magnetic fields, or power-efficiently generate the plasma.

 

[GamingKaiju]

Just imagine the amount of loss of limbs if they ever made a lightsaber and sold it.

 

[Fbh]

So it's just a retractable plastic light?

Cool I guess, but if you told me this has existed for the last 15 years I'd have believed you

Isn't that just a glowing stick? I want the real thing, like this:

While way cooler than the Disney thing, it looses a lot of the wow factor when you see it in a non perfectly framed video and it's just a big blowtorch

I mean, a lightsaber is just a rod of plasma.

 

[Spokker]

Do they let you take it into your room with you? And is there a double ended model?

Ease up Darth.

 

[AJUMP23]

I would still buy one. Very useful but dangerous.

 

[TastyPastry]

so the star wars hotel is going to be 2000$ per person? is it going to be a millionaire families only thing or will the audience just consist of single guys in their 30s?

 

[Blade2.0]

It'll be something like $1000 a night.

Guess this is where my doge is going

 

[nightmare-slain]

at least it's better than those stupid ones that people buy where it's just the handle and nothing else lol. i mean something like this:

if disney were to sell that one in the video i'd get one. it might not be real but it's damn cool. who wants to buy just a silly handle with no light up stick? that's the whole point of a lightsaber! would you buy a bike without wheels?

 

[Blade2.0]

But seriously, for 1k a night, Daisy ridley better suck my dick

 

[Ballthyrm]

This eternal fascination with light sabers....

It's never gonna happen folks.

I know right. Everybody should understand that Vibroblades are the superior weapons.

 

[Spaceman292]

Just snap open a glow stick and drizzle it on a machete. That'll get the job done.

 

[TheMan]

Isn't that just a glowing stick? I want the real thing, like this:

This is really just a blowtorch. There’s a reason why the top of the flame is always off camera.

That's the best you're getting for a light saber. As someone else noted, it's just plasma, and you'd need a really fancy magnetic field generator to shape the plasma like the rod shown in the films. This is closer to what a real lightsaber would look like than what we get in the movies, save for Kylo Ren's cool blade.
