Josh D&#8217;Amaro wielded the weapon live to the amazement of everyone there and people were quick to capture it on video for social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Disney unveils their real lightsaber during a panel at <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SXSW?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SXSW<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/q38ezFf2LN\">pic.twitter.com\/q38ezFf2LN<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Geek Vibes Nation (@GeekVibesNation) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GeekVibesNation\/status\/1634711774044868610?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 12, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the executive was having a blast: <strong>&#8220;I love to light it up as much as possible&#8221;<\/strong>, he said while holding the lightsaber. If you also want to be like him and carry one of these swords, it&#8217;s difficult but not impossible. The device will be part of the <strong>Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser<\/strong>, a hotel located at the <strong>Walt Disney World Resort<\/strong> that offers a themed experience based on the famous franchise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">But how does this lightsaber work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you may have noticed, this saber perfectly recreates the weapons we see in the Star Wars movies. Unlike the ones they currently sell, we do not have a luminescent glass or plastic rod, but the light comes directly from the handle. <strong>How does the magic happen?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the moment, no one at Disney wants to say anything, but some time ago, a patent was leaked on the Internet that <strong>would explain how this saber would work<\/strong>. In theory, the handle would contain a coil of translucent material wound with LED lights. When activated, it would unfold outwards and recreate the illusion of the lightsaber. Below is a video showing in detail the <strong>operation<\/strong> of such mechanics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Did <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Disney?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Disney<\/a> invent a real working <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/lightsaber?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#lightsaber<\/a>? <br><br>Yes they did. <br><br>It won&#39;t melt through metal blast doors, or cut off your hand, but it does feature an illuminated blade that will extend and retract at the push of a button. <br><br>This animation shows the concept behind the tech. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/e7fwP06CxF\">pic.twitter.com\/e7fwP06CxF<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Ben Ridout (@benridout) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/benridout\/status\/1381412831707422721?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 12, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the SXSW film festival, the director of Disney Parks and Experiences showed off the unthinkable, a real lightsaber.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9211,"featured_media":216482,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","wpcf-pageviews":0},"categories":[1015],"tags":[],"usertag":[],"vertical":[],"content-category":[],"class_list":["post-216481","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 5.0.4 -
