This brings us to the capacity of Savi’s Workshop, which is abysmal. Ultimately, you’re looking at a 25 minute experience plus a lightsaber for $250, plus the effort of snagging a reservation or waiting in line to do Savi’s Workshop. However, value is in the eye of the beholder and it’s very much a your mileage may vary type of thing. The workshop itself along with having a nighttime lightsaber battle below the Millennium Falcon rank highly among the things we did in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. As you’ll read in the review that follows, we were absolutely blown away by the show component of Savi’s Workshop and have zero regrets that we did it. I do know that it’s significantly nicer than anything I’ve ever seen in Walt Disney World or Disneyland.įor me, the question about whether this is “worth it” comes down to the hand-built lightsaber itself plus the overarching experience at Savi’s Workshop. For all I know, this could be on the low end of replica-caliber lightsabers. Then again, I’ve never wielded a high-end lightsaber, and am comparing this (no joke) to the industrial design of my DSLR camera lenses. With that said, the lightsaber itself has heft to it, is substantial, and feels really good in the hand. To someone, I’m sure a lightsaber could be worth more than $200. Perhaps once the technology gets to the point that it’s an actual tool I can use to carve a Thanksgiving turkey or defend myself against the First Order, but even then, it’d be a tough sell. I cannot envision a single scenario in which I’d view a lightsaber as holding that amount of value. Despite that title, this really isn’t expressly about whether the lightsaber itself is worth $220 or even $250. With the 2023 price decrease at Disneyland addressed, let’s turn to the normal one and start with the titular question. It’s thus likely that the California park has largely exhausted demand for lightsaber building among locals, and is now reliant on the smaller slice of tourists that visit Disneyland. By contrast, Disneyland is more dependent upon a local fanbase. Savi’s Workshop is still a hot reservation, which is unlikely to change anytime soon at Walt Disney World thanks to a steady stream of new tourists. Same goes for Droid Depot at Walt DIsney World–it’s still showing the higher price that took effect last fall. Two separate website errors seems unlikely.Īt present, no changes have been made to pricing at Walt Disney World–Savi’s Workshop there is still listed as costing $249.99 per lightsaber, plus tax on the official website. I’m skeptical that’s the case, as the price of Droid Depot also dropped to its pre-increase price at Disneyland, and those are different pages. The second is that it’s a website error–a reversion could’ve been accidentally made to an old version of the site. The first is that demand dropped for the Disneyland version of Savi’s Workshop after the price increase, and this is a way of fixing that. That’s still up from the $200 price tag on the Savi’s Workshop lightsaber building experience when it first debuted, but pretty much everything at Disneyland is more expensive than it was 3+ years ago.Īs for the reason for the decrease, there are a couple of possibilities. This $30 reduction is an especially steep drop, but was precisely the cost before the increase last year on October 11. When it comes to Disney, any drop is a big one, as prices typically only go in one direction–up. JanuUpdate: It appears that the price of Savi’s Workshop has decreased at Disneyland, falling from $249.99 back down to $219.99. Since you’re seeing this review, we did end up doing Savi’s Workshop, so there’s also that. This is no knock at Star Wars fans (well, I guess it is), but I spend money on plenty of things others would consider silly or frivolous, so to each their own. To be honest, I laughed at the idea of a $200+ lightsaber, and might have used the word “sucker” to describe our friend who wanted to do it. Originally, we planned on skipping Savi’s Workshop. Under the guidance of the Gatherers, guests are ushered into a covert workshop where they are using unusual parts to build lightsabers amidst the First Order. Savi’s Workshop is an unassuming storefront located in the middle of Black Spire Outpost next to Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities and Droid Depot. This review offers photos & video from this build-your-own lightsaber shop, reservation details, spoiler-free info, and whether it’s worth the high price. Savi’s Workshop – Handbuilt Lightsabers is one of the most popular things in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Walt Disney World and Disneyland.
