Savi’s Workshop – Handbuilt Lightsabers is one of the most popular things in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Walt Disney World and Disneyland. This review offers photos & video from this build-your-own lightsaber shop, reservation details, spoiler-free info, and whether it’s worth the high price. ( Updated January 27, 2023.)

You will begin your build with the kyber crystal, which imbues your lightsaber with energy. The crystal forms the heart of your lightsaber and determines the color of your blade. Your lead Gatherer will present one of four crystals to choose from, and other Gatherers will walk around with canisters of glowing crystals that you will select from.

Storing Your Lightsaber

The world's safest and most dangerous countries in 2023: The UK is the 37th most peaceful nation, with America ranked 131st - again (far behind Canada, which comes 11th) Just getting to Savi's Workshop can be its own challenge. The areas of Batuu are not well-marked, and besides, pretty much everything is written in the native Aurebesh language. Since lightsaber-building is a covert operation, Savi's Workshop is unmarked. So unless you're looking at the map online or using the Disney Play app, aka your datapad, you may have a little trouble finding it. Even the sign is in Aurebesh. It says, "By Appointment Only." At this question, I sort of smiled and sheepishly shrugged. I’m hesitant to encourage anybody to spend this much money on, well, anything.
