Yesterday was May the Fourth, also known as 'Star Wars' Day, and Disney did not disappoint in their reveal of a brand new addition to the Galaxy far, far away.
The official Disney lightsaber was revealed in a teaser trailer yesterday, as part of the new attraction being added to Disney World. And it's safe to say, this will get many a Star Wars fans' heart racing.
As you can see below, the saber will be part of 'Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser', a new immersive experience coming to Disney World in 2022. Should you embark on the journey, you'll hop aboard the Halcyon starcruiser for a multi-day story experience. You'll even get the chance to play around with this new life-sized weapon.
Of course, wielding the weapon of a Jedi Knight might feel like you're the next Obi-Wan Kenobi - but don't let all that power go to your head. The Disney lightsaber won't be the destructive weapon we've seen countless times on our screens, however; but it will extend, retract, and light up at the touch of a button, which is still pretty nifty.
'Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser' will be a new and fully immersive holiday experience where you'll be able to stay over, wield the newly-designed Disney lightsaber, and get to grips with your new intergalactic lifestyle. There will also be a number of familiar faces popping up during your stay.
The experience will launch in the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida next year. You can read all about the new Disney World attraction right here.
