Besides Savi's Workshop, there is another custom lightsaber experience. The Star Trader at Disneyland offers guests a chance to build their own lightsabers, without first paying 200 dollars for the experience. [45] Attractions [ edit ] Messina, Victoria (May 9, 2017).

Korean animator Nelson Shin, who was working for DePatie–Freleng Enterprises at the time, was asked by his manager if he could animate the lightsaber in the live-action scenes of a film. After Shin accepted the assignment, the live-action footage was given to him. He drew the lightsabers with a rotoscope, an animation which was superimposed onto the footage of the physical lightsaber blade prop. Shin explained to the people from Lucasfilm that since a lightsaber is made of light, the sword should look "a little shaky" like a fluorescent tube. He suggested inserting one frame that was much lighter than the others while printing the film on an optical printer, making the light seem to vibrate. Shin also recommended adding a degausser sound on top of the other sounds for the weapon since the sound would be reminiscent of a magnetic field. The whole process took one week, surprising his company. Lucasfilm showed Shin the finished product, having followed his suggestions to use an X-Acto knife to give the lightsaber a very sharp look, and to have sound accompany the weapon's movements. [11] Sound [ edit ] Lightsabers were present in the earliest drafts as mundane plasma weapons that were used alongside laser guns. [14] [15] The introduction of the Force in a later revision made the Jedi and the Sith supernaturally skilled; initially they were only portrayed as swordsmen. [16] The lightsaber became the Force-user's tool, described in A New Hope by Obi-Wan Kenobi as "not as clumsy or random as a blaster. An elegant weapon, for a more civilized age". [17] The source of a lightsaber's power is a kyber crystal. [18] These crystals are also the power source of the Death Star's superlaser. [19] [20] In writing the prequel trilogy, George Lucas said he wanted the lightsaber combat to be "reminiscent of what had been done in the previous films but also something that was more energized. We'd seen old men, young boys, and characters who were half-droid, but we'd never seen a Jedi in his prime. I wanted to do that with a fight that was faster and more dynamic—and we were able to pull that off." [33]

A lightsaber is a fictional energy sword featured throughout Star Wars. A typical lightsaber is depicted as a luminescent laser sword about 3 feet (0.91m) in length emitted from a metal hilt around 10.5 inches (27cm) in length. [1] First introduced in the original Star Wars film, [a] it has since appeared in most Star Wars films, with at least one lightsaber duel occurring in each installment of the " Skywalker saga". The lightsaber's distinct appearance was created using rotoscoping for the original films, and with digital effects for the prequel and sequel trilogies.Lucas, George (May 1974), The Star Wars, rough draft (PDF), Ten troopers break out of the ranks and take up the chase.

Hilts were first machined out of metal materials. Then casts would be made using the metal hilts to create resin copies that were used on screen. [10] The resin was often molded over a metal rod that a dueling blade could be attached to for fight sequences.

For The Phantom Menace, Gillard set out certain styles and faults for the saber-wielding characters. [35] He added that the Jedi's use of such "a short-range weapon" meant "they would have to be very good at it"; combining a variety of disciplines from various sword fighting styles to martial arts "with a touch of tennis and tree chopping", he created the style seen in the Episode I lightsaber battles.
