I’ve written before about my dash through Disneyland, but wanted to show you the awesome lightsaber I built!

This is the lightsaber when its "retracted". There is a button that activates the sound and light, and you kind of just throw it upwards to make the lightsaber come fully out.

I picked purple as its my favorite color!

After you select the base hilt (and if you wanted a double bladed lightsaber) you then select the color, and then select the various hilt customizers.

One cool feature not many know about these custom lightsabers is that the various crystals that come with it aren’t just for show! They allow you to change out the sound effects. You put one in the compartment before you put the hilt on, and then place the others in the bottom storage compartment and screw on the base.

I prefer the sound of the blue crystal.
