Okay, Star Wars fans, the day has finally arrived!
Hey Dok!
No, we’re not talking about Life Day or May the 4th or even the premiere of Obi-Wan Kenobi on Disney+ (although these are things we’re excited about!). We’re talking about the arrival of a Star Wars souvenir that’s been YEARS in the making.
Over two years ago, Star Wars fans got a chance to vote on the next Legacy Lightsaber Hilt they would like to see at Dok Ondar’s Den of Antiquities in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at both Disneyland and Disney World. The fan-favorite turned out to be the lightsaber wielded by Cal Kestis from the video game Star Wars: Fallen Jedi.

It took a while, but it was only a few days ago that Disney announced that the Cal Kestis Legacy Lightsaber Hilt would soon be available at the parks! Even better? Disney posted a photo of actor Cameron Monaghan, the guy who actually played Cal Kestis in the game, HOLDING THE LIGHTSABER. Yes, our Star Wars-loving heads exploded a little bit. 🤯 (We also now want a live-action Cal Kestis, thank you very much).

Well, TODAY IS THE DAY. Get this — we have finally seen the Cal Kestis Legacy Lightsaber Hilt WITH OUR OWN EYES.
There it is!
In the game, Cal’s lightsaber is damaged on one end after he gets it from his Master — and that damage has been replicated here.

However, the lightsaber hilt comes with an adaptor that will let you make it dual-bladed, restoring it to how it looked when Cal’s Master had it!
‼️FINALLY‼️

If you’d like to wield this lightsaber for yourself, it will cost you $159.99. You’ll have to hurry, though — fans have been waiting for this lightsaber for a LONG time, so it’s going to probably sell out quickly!
We’ll let you know about other Star Wars merchandise at the parks, so stay tuned to DFB for more!
