This is one of the most popular Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge offerings at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland, and for good reason. It's not going to be something that everyone can afford to do in terms of time or money, but it's something we recommend as a splurge for those who can do it. You won't regret it.

Whether the $250+ "Savi’s Workshop" experience is "worth it" in 2026 depends on if you value the showmanship over the physical product. The 20-minute immersive ceremony, where "Gatherers" guide you through a spiritual building process with a Kyber crystal, is often described by fans as a high-point of Galaxy's Edge. A supportive peer "collector" insight: while the lightsaber itself is heavy, high-quality, and "metal-heavy," third-party "combat" sabers from companies like Sabertrio often offer better electronics for the same price. However, those don't come with the Disney "theatrics." If you are a die-hard Star Wars fan who wants the memory of the "secret workshop," it’s worth the splurge once. If you just want a cool toy to hit things with, you might prefer the cheaper $50 plastic versions or a high-end replica from an independent builder that features better "smooth swing" sound technology.
