If your lightsaber skills are a little rusty, you can spend some time training to become a better Jedi while aboard the Halcyon starship during your stay at the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser.
I had a chance to check out a preview of the Galactic Starcruiser experience, courtesy of the nice folks in Disney Media Relations.
Let’s take a look:
Guests can sign up for Lightsaber Training aboard the Halcyon starcruiser.
Merchandise
Guests can purchase the Legacy Lightsaber Training Hilt and Legacy Reflective Shield.
A couple of facts about what you can get:
- Lightsaber hilts are customizable via an attachable letter icon in Aurebesh, the written language of the Star Wars universe.
- The Legacy Reflective Shield features lights and sounds and can cycle through different colors to match any lightsaber color.
Training Process
During the training process, you hold the lightsaber at an angle indicated by the training droid in front of you. If the image in the droid points up and to the left, you put your lightsaber up and to the left. You then return to the neutral position, with the saber held vertically in front of you, and watch for the next training instruction.
It takes a bit of time to learn how to play, but eventually, you get the hang of it, and improve through several rounds.
In time, you will even learn how to trust the Force. You might even hear from Yoda!
For younger travelers, toy versions of the training lightsaber and shield are available, complete with light and sound effects.
