The Star Wars web site has details of a new “build your own lightsaber” retail opportunity (warning, popups!) at the Once Upon a Toy store in Walt Disney World.
“Guests can ‘Choose Their Own Destiny’ by deciding to build a custom lightsaber for the Jedi or the Sith. They will choose from a variety of parts to create their own custom saber or they can create one that is similar to the saber of one of their favorite Star Wars characters. The saber is electronic, with authentic saber light, sounds and vibrations. Upon completion of the saber the guest will tell the Disney Cast Member at the register whether they created a ‘good’ or ‘bad’ saber. Based on this distinction, the Disney cast member will give them the Jedi or Sith pin.”
Sounds like the best part is when the CM tells you whether you’re naughty or nice, now doesn’t it?
The toy is currently available only at Once Upon a Toy at WDW’s Downtown Disney, but of course they’re leaving the door open to making it available elsewhere.
Broke Hoedown 
I think its cool but in know wat walmart and target has a kit, though it would be fun to beable to play and pick it before you buy it as a whole
I’m a bit enamoured of the Build Your Own Mr Potato Head, so I guess I’m just a sucker for these things. Plus, serious Star Wars geeks might be interested in the collectibles angle:
Where do they have this Build Your Own Lightsaber Upon A Toy?
This is located at a store called Once Upon a Toy, at Downtown Disney in Walt Disney World.
The build your own lightsaber thing at DTD in the toy store also has a purple filter and is cheaper than the kit.
Seven, thanks for the comment . . .those are good points.
Also of course if you buy the kit, you are deprived of the opportunity to exchange witty banter with Cast Members and compare notes on levels of geekiness. 😉
crap!! theres no more
No more? It was still there when I went to WDW in June…anybody seen differently?
