How do we know the original was even that good to begin with? At the galactic starcruiser, Rey had to put it down to switch with a solid neopixel to duel with.
@@priyonjoni they probably only have a few of those made and are probably all considered prototypes so i can understand why they wouldn’t want to fight with them. My worry is when lanny said about getting with a company to help with getting these made more for the masses to be more accessible to the average buyer. That just means to me however much disney spent on making theirs id imagine a toy company will use lesser quality parts and ect.
A couple of things. Firstly, Hasbro has the exclusive license on producing "Lightsabers" so no one else can sell them other than Disney. However, Hasbro will not produce anything as complex as this saber. They will have another manufacturer design and produce it, and Hasbro will Label slap. The Disney sabers are manufactured by Hasbro and Disney just label slaps. With this new saber, you will never be able to hit anything. I'm a Mechanical and Manufacturing engineer. This blade design will never be thin enough to roll up and thick enough to take a hit. Love the videos. Keep them coming.
An engineer who says "never"...not a good mindset for an engineer to innovate. Hasbro has the trademark on the word "lightsaber", but the original creator has the rights to his mechanical design which Hasbro turned down.
@@davidh4548 dang I guess only good engineers can disobey Newton's laws of motion, ignore how materials interact and can influence the stability of a structure, and can just create matter and energy. I guess all engineers have to pack it up, none of us will ever be good enough for David H.
I didn't mean to draw down angst, apologies. I'm just saying it's only impossible until someone does it and if we built things with the mindset that it wasn't possible, we'd still be in the stone ages.
The ideal would be in time for Christmas this year, and the fact that announcements are now starting, I think pre-order options won’t be far behind… It’ll be interesting to see the timetable but, mostly, I’m just looking forward to seeing _you_ review it/them! 🥰💙
I was at Batuu East last night since I live close by. They have officially retired the Anakin Skywalker Jedi Knight Revenge of The Sith legacy lightsaber, The Count Dooku Jedi Master (blue) legacy lightsaber from Tales of The Jedi, The Darth Maul legacy lightsaber has been retired as well but is now available in black box like the Mace Windu. But they do have The Stellan Gios and Ki-Adi Mundi legacy lightsabers in the grey crate. The Castmember I spoke with said they hopefully might get new ones soon.
Us: Hey, would you like to make money off this idea? Disney: Yes There is a lot of planning in between and Hasbro's supply chain isn't up for it. They specialize is dumbing down ideas. I would rather pay $800 for a good one than $300 for a disappointment And you won't be able to duel with it.
I’m super excited for Disney’s retractable lightsaber😊 Star Wars has a special place in my heart and always makes me happy. Thank you FindingTheForce for always making my day❤
It’s crazy I remember when you first started this UA-cam page with ur son and a few thousand subscribers now you’re close 200k … that’s dope congrats on the success… hope your son is doing well
Hey Gr8!! Thank you so much for following me. It has been a long journey with a ton of hard work, but I am very lucky and blessed. Thanks for watching!
I can see the retractable being popular among cosplayers and some "completionists" who just have to have everything. I'll stick to Legacy or Build Your Own saber styles.
Hasbro makes some strange decisions. I totally understand turning down one in favor of the other, but they absolutely should have run with both designs, and had two options. One is clearly cheaper to make and can probably be hit with another...
If thus is released for retail sale in the Disney Parks, it will only be available in Doc Ondars Den Of Antiquities in Galaxy's Edge, and it will be very expensive. I'm not trying to be skeptical, but at the same time, I'm not holding my breath. As for buying a Disney lightsaber, if it comes out, again it's a case of "wait and see".
I’d say the official one will use a polycarbonate blade like the power saber but replace the flashlight with a central string of LEDs. It will be cheap and robust, give the brightness and the desired effect combined with a thicker metal hilt to house it all.
yes! finally! disney will sell the retractable lightsaber in the future!

Correct me if I’m wrong, but it is my understanding that no one has ever seen the “retractable” lightsaber actually retract. In all the live demos a big show is made of it *extending*, but then it is carried offstage in its extended state or, in the case of the climactic Galactic Starcruiser show, it is quickly swapped for a dueling saber before the duel with Kyle Ren begins. The popular hypothesis is that it isn’t actually capable of retracting and instead has to be manually reset between shows. It also sounds like a lot of work would need to be done to make this mechanism durable enough for a consumer product. The live demos never seem to involve any kind of energetic swinging of the saber, to say nothing of dueling with it. Presumably it would crumple like a tape measure at the slightest impact.
If they pick up Disney's version of the lightsaber thats gonna be sad for two reasons. One, they kinda screw the guy that came up with the power saber. Two. We all know how Disney's quality control is.
They only do that so Lenny be able to sue Power Saber designer. Even if they and Lanny own patent for that toy, until it's released on market, no lawsuit can be proceeded.
Depends on the quality and if the saber isn't twice the size it should be. I'll likely wait for the saber made by third party fan companies to make their version.
Retroblasting did a video on the one that came out. This will be a lawsuit battle of its Hasbro who turned down the inventor who has since released his power saber.
This is.... Good News. I do have to say that my ability to purchase will be mostly based on price. I would also have to assume that the hilts would be somewhat thicker than what we have now?
That sounds seriously awesome obi-dad a retractable lightsaber toy from disney made by hasbro sounds awesome though my biggest question is will it be budget friendly will everyone in the world be able to afford it ya know, not every company is like John Hammond from jurassic park
Hey Finding the force, love the videos and actually had a question about which website I should use to purchase Neopixel Lightsabers. Any recommendations? I have heard so many different ones I’m really not sure. I’m definitely picking up Anakin’s ROTS my dream saber. Anyway keep up the good work and may the force be with you.
So, they worked with the guy for years then as it was nearing completion, they said naw we'll just take your design change something and make it ourselves? Yeah, that sounds like hasbro.
So I live in Texas and don’t plan on moving anywhere else anytime soon. So, what stores and where in the US do y’all think this highly recommended lightsaber product will start showing up on shelves????????
You can always visit the parks and pick one up...I'd love to book it for you!! But I'd suspect that the Disney Shop is the only place outside the parks they will be available. So you can shop online...
At least $200 for a saber you cant wrap your hands around because the hilt is too fat, and a blade that cant hit anything without breaking. Disaster in a box, waiting to happen.
This is the purpose of this light saber : not a toy. And you need some place for the mechanism and the tape measure for the blade. Reduce the size of the hilt and you will get a too much thin blade. You can't have a good quality duelable retractable lightsaber, it's simply unmakeable. This is just physic.
@@arnaudmeresse1370 agreed you can't. Yet .... You're ridiculous if you're saying it can't be done due to "physic"... Physics aren't preventing it just current limitations. Doubt a dueling one will come first of course but a ridiculously big hilt is just going to look stupid on display and for anyone using it for cosplay or at any sort of event.
My purchase will entirely be based on price. I don't need to have a specific person's saber. I just want it to be fun. If it's 2-3 times more expensive than the Goliath, I am perfectly happy with "just" the Goliath
The one thing i know about hasbro is they make good products then they make bad ones. I just really hope they dont get lazy on this and try to use the power sabors tech and call it there own. They have done that in the past.
What do we think this does for the 3 party market? All the companies that have made rub, xenopixle and proffie board sabers? Will those become obsolete?
i doubt its gonna be classified as a toy, I think its gonna be more of a display piece or a collectors item, I mean idk if we should let kids swing around and hit such a delicate lightsaber lol
Will this new retractable lightsaber be something that you can actually play with hitting another lightsaber or because it's made out of two semi-circle measuring tape like devices will it just fall fall over if you smack something with it? In any of their demos have they shown them having a duel of any kind, or even just swinging it and coming to a sudden stop?
I know what you mean. I was hoping they would make brighter blades, but it feels like they may have made a long commitment decision to the less bright LED technology for all of their blades and Sabers.
Not getting my hopes up, expecting it to be like a 400€/$ Saber that breaks easily/cant be duelled with and probably doesnt even glow all that well in mass production
This sounds speculative on his part. If these talks are happening, it's very very early. I wouldn't call this confirmed tho. I can say confidently it isn't in active development at Hasbro atm.
I have a feeling the mass production of this saber is going to be cheaper quality but with a premium price.
How do we know the original was even that good to begin with? At the galactic starcruiser, Rey had to put it down to switch with a solid neopixel to duel with.
@@priyonjoni well they were series 1 probably might be better by now but idk how much better.
Then two or three years later, they’ll give us the true version.

A big turn off is when I hit my little brother with it and the blade bends 😂

The retractable sabers will probably be at least 299.99 each when they release in stores.
Nah, double if that
lol no
thats how much new release black series are
i wish it would
Cheap!
I guess 599 to 799$
Twist saber is like 40 bucks for the plan and you can print it yourself. Seems like a better option 🤣

Gotta need one for my dad and myself!
He is such a StarWars fan 🤩
That's awesome Takagan!! My son and I love SW! I can't imagine life without sharing that with him. 😃
That's great news, Obi-dad! I will be waiting for your review before buying Disney's retractable lightsaber. Thanks again
You be an awesome addition to the collection.
Heck yes I would totally buy one

Yeah there's tons of footage of it retracting, they retracted it in the very first public demo. Agreed on the lack of durability though.
Very cool!

Jokes on Disney, they can't put George Lucas's signature on it.
i bet because ReelSaber already has a kickstarter campaign running (which i did pay to support and own a saber) and Hero Project is also doing it.
Can't wait to see your video on this. You're going to have a full unboxing on your UA-cam channel right?

Lanny Smoot looks like Jolee Bindo from KOTOR 😂
I only want one if they're battle-ready. Extra points if they make a full-sized blade.

I really hope they backed out of the deal because they want to make it look like it's not a telescoping saber.
it already has i saw a retractable lightsaber at Walmart last week!

The one thing i know about hasbro is they make good products then they make bad ones. I just really hope they dont get lazy on this and try to use the power sabors tech and call it there own. They have done that in the past.
How long until SW Theory can make it? His sabers are surprisingly legit
Do you need a NFA $200 stamp for that fully automatic saber?? 😂
Probably be a very watered down version of it mind you. We’ve already had retractable ‘force action’ toy lightsabers way before. Just as good.
I'd like to see it in action first and if there will be multiple color options
What do we think this does for the 3 party market? All the companies that have made rub, xenopixle and proffie board sabers? Will those become obsolete?
Well, I guess Disney can’t sell the saber at the Galactic Star Wars hotel anymore can they.😂
Where did you get the Nix toy in the background?!
I think I would rather have one made by hacksmith. Their sabers are retractable and can cut trough steel.
OK Disney I want to see you make a Kylo version of the retractable blades.
i doubt its gonna be classified as a toy, I think its gonna be more of a display piece or a collectors item, I mean idk if we should let kids swing around and hit such a delicate lightsaber lol
I only want it if they can make the hilt a tiny bit skinnier. But I hope it Is as loud as the videos of the one they have been promoting
Master Replica where the original licensed creators of the FX Star Wars light sabers and when Hasbro took over the quality went WAY down.
These will be a 100 bucks atleast. Maybe even closer to 200 when they first come out.
And how many saber on saber clashes are they going to be able to handle ?
The only problem with it is the hilt is too big and the blade is too short. It's cool but hopefully they can eventually improve it.
It can't be otherwise because if you make a thin hilt you will get a thin blade so even shorter. (Unless your hilt get the "TARDIS3 factor lol
Cool
Hope they make a red one.
Look at the new verge article. Thouse will never be in the market.
I think the Power Saber is probably the greatest toy ever made.
Hasbro does that it will not be in the same quality as when Disney had it.
Vheck out twist saber. They are fkn awsome
Will this new retractable lightsaber be something that you can actually play with hitting another lightsaber or because it's made out of two semi-circle measuring tape like devices will it just fall fall over if you smack something with it?
In any of their demos have they shown them having a duel of any kind, or even just swinging it and coming to a sudden stop?
They must be hurrrrting for cash right now. I bet this is why they passed on the other fully-retracting Saber toy that just came out recently.
I wonder if this is why the skipped out on the Goliath power saber
That's what I'm thinkin 😉
Is the lightsaber coming to stores in germany too?
I haven’t read anywhere but here that this is corrdt
Take my money!
kind of irritating that the Disney blades can't even be as bright as the Hasbro blades
I know what you mean. I was hoping they would make brighter blades, but it feels like they may have made a long commitment decision to the less bright LED technology for all of their blades and Sabers.
