Disney’s REAL lightsaber looks insane! Here’s how it may work
Disney released video of a working lightsaber that will be part of the entertainment at the Star Wars-themed hotel, Galactic Starcruiser.

Happy May the 4th! Of course we don’t know if the final lightsaber product we see in the video works exactly as described in the patent, but it’s fun to look at clues like this to see how Disney got here. Tell us what you think about this real lightsaber!

Can’t we make a lightsaber for kids out of inflatable balloon and neon lights (that make it glow in the dark)..??

I feel like it could be done with a very light fabric tube and fan forcing it in and then out with blowing and suction inflating and deflating it. Then a bright led illuminating it from in the unit. Kind like those tall blow ups you see at car dealerships. Kinda…..

I can’t believe you guys don’t know yet how disney made that lightsaber. I will try to explain to you guys what they did. First of all it’s not real. The mechanisms is actually quit common. Remember the old light sabers where you had to sling the saber and the long glowing pole popped out? Well this is very similar. What’s actually happening is there is a thin layer of stretchy latex that’s wrapped around the light itself. Little motors push the pole out in segments and it also pushes itself through this white latex. It’s able to stretch out and make the height transition move smoothly. It’s more to it then that but that’s the basic set up

I was wondering if they could use a wire like nitinol to make something to retract and extend by heating it? I wonder if there’s an alloy that could behave like nitinol but can also get super hot enough to cut through solid objects with ease?

Have you seen the inflatable snake robots? You could probably do something with that technology. You’d need something telescoping in the middle to give it rigidity though.

Congratulations. This is the worst video I have seen in a while. You wanted to spend 10 min showing how it works and you fail right after you got out of the store. You have the mental power, focus, and will of a 5 year old who tries to copy something he saw on TV.

May 6, 2021 at 9:25 pm
Without seeing the whole video I’m guessing it’s some kind of translucent silicon gel/rubber that can be squeezed into the handle and wrapped around an inner shaft that can be extended like an old radio antenna. The light shining through masks any wrinkles on the gel skin.

This Disney thing is not a real lightsaber, doesnt cut through flesh and metal. Just some material coming out of an enormous and horribly looking hilt.

I feel like it’s just a semi rigid rubber balloon that is naturally under vacuum and tucked away inside the handle. When powered on, an air pump quickly inflates it, pushing it out of the handle.
The balloon would be made of a semi transparent plastic to refract the light and give it a glow.
But we will see once it’s officially unveiled
