Disney’s Savi’s Workshop is launching a new Protection and Defense hilt theme inspired by the High Republic era at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland. Starting October 5, 2026, visitors can build lightsabers featuring white finishes with gold detailing and ancient Jedi iconography that celebrates peace and hope. This theme joins the existing Peace and Justice, Power and Control, and Elemental Nature options available at the handbuilt lightsaber experience. Every lightsaber created now includes a special color-changing effect that shifts between blue and red using cracked Kyber crystals, representing the inner battle between light and dark sides of the Force. Guests must make a purchase to build their custom lightsabers, and advance reservations are highly recommended for both Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disneyland Park locations.
