New SWGE Superthread! Now Open to All! (6/24/2019)

I remember seeing sabers in Dok Ondar's which had fixed blades and were somewhere around the $40 price point. All plastic, not metal.

In star trader/disney store (dtd) I saw a video that they have plastic sabers with removable blades that looked pretty decent.

Awesome! Thank you! He's 10 and watched a video on Savi's and really wants a saber. But I just cannot justify that price point because I know he will be REALLY hard on the saber. $40 is much more reasonable!

Are the ones in Savi's metal?

The legacy lightsabers in Dok Ondar's and the handbuilt ones in Savi's are metal on the outside, yes. Very weighty - I was surprised at the heft.

DH would probably like one if they have Luke's I might just have to check those out. But he doesn't wan the entire saber just the hilt.

They have Luke's and I believe for the legacy sabers the hilt and blade are sold separately anyway.

I'm sort of calling the purple R-unit I built R28-D19 because those numbers are our Boarding Group numbers that we got for RoTR during our trip.

Love this!

Also worth noting that if you are talking about Luke's ROTJ saber, it comes with two emitters - one that looks like the one in the film, and one that can fit the blade. It comes in a case and you can also buy a display stand for it.

Sorry, I don't know much about SW stuff. What is an emitter?

Sorry for the jargon. The emitter is the bit at the "business end" of the light saber, from which the blade "emits." Because Luke's saber gets very thin at that point, it isn't wide enough for a blade to fit in/through, so they include one that looks true to the film version and one that is slightly modified in case you want to use a blade with it.

Gothic Rosie just posted that The Child, aka Baby Yoda plush, is for sale in Batuu!! $24.99!

Hope it lasts until next weekend!!

Is it a pain to carry around the Droids that you can make? Are the interactive features cool?

 

[SteveH]

Yes it is, the interactivity isn't that wonderful. I'd be more inclined to have it held at the front of the park or to you room.

I've been meaning to ask this question, so they do hold packages at the front of the park? Where exactly do they keep packages? Does this include lightsabers?

 

[Malroy]

We timed ours so we were ready for a midday break and brought the droid back to the hotel. Had that not been the case, we would've put it in a locker. Did not time our lightsaber as well and wished it would fit into a locker (it did not!)

 

[LizzyS]

The backpack is pretty comfortable, but it's kind of a pain, yes.

They will check your droid or light saber and hold it for you for you to pick up anytime before close at Droid Depot (the back entrance, not where you check in and pay for the droid building).

See my previous post.

 

[LizzyS]

You can also have droids and sabers sent to your hotel if you're staying on Disney property.

 

[StarWarsNerd24]

Thanks for the info LizzyS. We are not staying on property but we are right across the street @ the BWPPI so I might just run them back to the motel room after but its good to know they will hold them as well.

I don’t think it’s that bad to carry in the backpack, if your not carrying anything else with it. If you bring another bag in the park with you normally, it becomes a big hassle to juggle them around.

 

[midnight star]

If I bring my droid in the backpack, I will bring a small wristlet or crossbody.
