Galaxys Edge - Tumblr Posts
Managed to take this awesome picture of Vi Moradi, a spy lieutenant in the Resistance who was sent to establish a base on Batuu. She is certainly a fun character to meet as I practically joined the Resistance and reported my activities to her like she is my commanding officer.
When I went on my Disney World vacation last month, I got to go to Hollywood Studios for two days and that meant getting to see Rey and Chewie multiple times a day. They are one of many things I love about Galaxy’s Edge as I actually like Rey. The cast member playing her was even the same one I saw both Mondays I went and when we met the second Monday, she recognized me and I had the biggest smile on my face.
One of the great things I did with her was talk about how I am Force-Sensitive and agreed on doing Jedi Training together someday down the line. Rey and and Chewie were even impressed with the lightsaber I made at Savi’s Workshop and I even showed her a Jedi holocron to share its knowledge with her. Overall, that was one of many great experiences I had at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
so I think I figured something out.
I'm hopefully getting ahsoka's Galaxy's edge lightsabers soon and in all the reviews I've seen people always point out how the shoto is the wrong color, because it's green instead of the yellow-green that we see in the clone wars
this one
however, if Disney wanted to have this color, they would, because the shoto even has a different tone of sound font, it doesn't match the main saber exactly. every time Disney has released an animated padawan ahsoka, both her sabers are green
a bit of digging with find you with the story that when they were deciding on ahsoka's shoto George Lucas wanted green and Dave wanted yellow, they settled on yellow-green (which I'm not really a fan of). i find it funny that its here when Disney wants to follow what George wanted tbh
but in conclusion, Disney did it on purpose, and personally I like when lightsabers match eachother
got em! (and two blades)
so my thoughts so far, it being the next day
first thoughts:
out of the box, the shoto wouldn't display color on the blade at all, but it did have sound, luckily I did bring fresh batteries to the park and switched them out, that fixed it just fine.
hilts:
they're absolutely gorgeous, very accurate, a little big for my hands, definitely made for grown man hands which I find ironic lol, hopefully it's just because of the electronics inside (ignoring the fact that other brands have them in a slimmer style)
i can still spin them a bit, I love the way they sound, it's not too loud which is perfect for my taste. The ignition and swinging sounds are satisfying but the smooth swing kinda just decides when it wants to work
blades:
I got the 34 inch blade and the 24 inch blade and 34 inch is ridiculously long for me, I had no clue it was that big, and the 24 was perfect for my size
the 34 inch blade started to malfunction, sometimes the color just stops displaying but the shorter one works perfectly, I'm in love
the scrolling effect is smooth enough for me but I'm more used to baselit sabers so take it with a grain of salt
I'm gonna try to get a replacement blade so I'll update on that for sure but so farrrr
final thoughts:
sabers: 8/10, a little chunky, a little easy to scratch, the smooth swings is way off.
blades: 5/10 you can see the led placement inside the blade and the larger one just stopped working and was way too long for a main blade.
i would recommend, id just get two shoto sized blades (even though it's not accurate, it's just better that way) and I want to have it clear
they're beautiful, I adore them 💙💚
A photo I took of my Rebels Black Series figures at Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland.
1st trip to Galaxy’s edge meant special headgear. Wish there were more occasions when this sort of thing was appropriate 😜
