Since the release of the very first Star Wars trilogy, which aired between 1977 and 1983, many generations have hoped that one day they will be able to own their own Jedi or Sith laser weapon.
However, their dream could well come true in the years to come.
Indeed, on the occasion of his conference on the upcoming opening of the Avengers Campus within California Disneyland, it seems that
Josh D'Amaro unveiled a functional lightsaber to the spectators.
.
No image of the product could be shared since it was strictly forbidden to film or take photos during the presentation.
It is not yet known when this saber will be announced to the general public.
However, it is possible that it will be revealed at the same time as the opening of the Star Wars hotel being developed in the Florida park.
Star Wars: The Lightsaber Developed By Disney Is "Really Real"
According to the comments made by Scott Trowbridge, head of creation for Walt Disney Imagineering, on Twitter, the lightsaber presented by Josh D'Amaro is "very real" and not the result of special effects.
The man also adds that it will still be necessary to wait to have visuals of the product.
A patent, filed by Disney in 2017, mentions a device consisting of two long plastic half-cylinders, a pair of coils, a motor and a flexible strip of light sources.
At this time, it is not known whether Disney used this system for the design of its Star Wars lightsaber.
In any case, the weapon should obviously come in the form of a collector's item above all, and therefore will not be as dangerous as its fictional version.
