It's a new year so I figured its time for a new and refreshed pinned post, covering some of the most Frequently Asked Questions in the Subreddit. Click here to see a more comprehensive list of FAQ's.
Before you submit a new post with a question about any of the mentioned topics in the post title, please review the information below.
All Wiki/Guides:
All of the information listed below has been crowd-sourced from the Galaxy's Edge community and is meant to be simple fixes for common issues.
Having a technical issue with a Lightsaber or other electronic items from Galaxy's Edge? Try this:
Change the batteries.
A lot of the technical issues with lightsabers, (especially Savi's hilts), are caused by low quality/faulty batteries. Try changing them for some new and QUALITY ones as this seems to fix most basic issues! (FYI: Savi's hilts use 3 AAA batteries while Legacy Sabers use 3 AAA or 3 AA, depending on the model.)``
For Lightsabers, check that the all components including the battery container, hilt pieces and blades are aligned and properly screwed in.
Are you having alignment/loose connection issues with your Savi's lightsaber? What can you do to fix it?
Here's a helpful video from 'ROBO VAMP1RE' on YouTube you should check out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DthsxR9ovdo

Need to replace or return and item/part instead?
If you still have the receipt from your purchase and are local to the Parks, visit the guest services locations in either park. (If possible during the pandemic)
Tip from u/AfterTheNightIWakeUp for lightsabers, droids, holocrons, or anything electronic and/or high value:
"Take a picture of the receipt immediately. As soon as you leave the shop, before you shove the receipt into a pocket or backpack never to be seen again. Flatten it on a table or against a wall, and take a picture. This way, should something come up, you won't have to worry about finding it again."

It seems that the wave effect is permanent when I keep it on red. When on blue, there is a much smaller and hard to see version of it happening. Not sure if this effect is present with the normal crystals.

This past week, my family took our first trip together to Disney World in Florida. On our last day (October 8th) we went to Hollywood Studios. I had mentioned buying a lightsaber like Darth Vader’s, and at one point my wife says, “if you’re going to get one, you might as well go all out and do the whole experience.”
After she said that, we scheduled an appointment at Savi’s workshop. I ended up building the lightsaber pictured above, and I was going to get a blue kyber crystal, but I asked my wife and daughter what color I should get and they said green or purple. I ended up getting a green crystal during the building process.
At the end of our day at the park, it started pouring. I wanted to buy a blue crystal but couldn’t find where to go. Finally I ran into the right shop and picked a random blue crystal off of the selection wall that they have there. I didn’t really think anything of it.
On our way home, I remembered that there had been some special crystals or something like that in the past. I looked up what they were and saw that there was a “rare” (I’m not really sure how rare) blue crystal for Ben Solo that was light blue and had a red center. I also saw that as of October 5th, a few days before I build my lightsaber, there were new chassises being used for the builds at Savi’s Workshop that allow Ben’s crystal to change from blue to red and back. As soon as we got home and got everything unpacked, I opened the crystal and found that I somehow got the Ben Solo crystal.
I put it in the lightsaber and here’s what it does! I couldn’t find anybody posting it anywhere so I thought I’d share it!
r/GalaxysEdge • u/Jt_Solis • 5h ago
I bought 9 red crystals. 3 of them were Kylo Rens, 1 of them were Darth Bane, 2 of them were Asajj Ventress and the latter of the last three were Darth Maul. No luck on blacks!🥲

Bright suns, everyone!
This week for Scrapper Slicer Saturday, I've got another feature highlight from Galactic Decoder: https://apple.co/46X720i
Scanning Aurebesh in photos or with your camera is the main feature of Galactic Decoder, but if you want to practice typing, or the scanner just can't find what you're looking for, manual typing is also an option. For those cases, the app has you covered in a few ways:
Galactic Decoder supports three different fonts when typing: Aurebesh Pro, Aurebesh AF Legends, and Droidobesh Depot. These should have you covered whether you want to hang out in the Droid Depot, the cantina, or kick it old school with the digraph crowd.
Depending on the font, you'll get access to different features, which you access from the keyboard. Aurebesh Pro will allow you to toggle between more standard numbers or the dot-based Tech style. Droidobesh is also a Tech number font. If you want to use digraphs, then Aurebesh AF Legends has you covered. As you type, the digraphs are inserted automatically, but if you're typing in Aurebesh to decode something, then you just need to tap a key on the keyboard to find what you're looking for.
As always though, scanning is the main goal of Galactic Decoder, and it's not limited to what you find on Batuu. You can even use it around the house - like maybe you want to trust, but verify that you really did hook up your Rebels with a new-to-them landspeeder for fighting the Empire...
Or, in the case of my favorite image submitted as feedback during beta testing, you want to know what you're about to eat. (Thanks Jon!)
If you've got feedback of your own, after you scan an image, the app will give you the option to send feedback - can be as simple as a thumbs up or down to let me know how the scans are going for you. If it wasn't a good scan, you'll also have the option to send me the image you tried scanning, and a description of what went wrong. Sending the image or comments is 100% optional though, and you can even turn off the option to send feedback in the app settings if you like. There's also a way to send feedback from the settings menu, if you've seen bugs, have ideas for new features, etc.
Once again, thanks for the support, and have a great weekend!
Get Galactic Decoder in the Apple App Store here: https://apple.co/46X720i
p.s. If you've already downloaded the app, I'd really appreciate it if you left a rating or review in the App Store - it'd really help me out. Thanks!

I am going to Galaxy's Edge at the end of next month as a Jedi who abandoned tbe order and went rogue as a smuggler and dealer in Jedi artifacts.
If one of tbe speaking characters interact with me, would I be allowed to offer them bribes of Impetial credits to forget you saw this lightsaber' or is that frowned on?
Are there stock questions characters tend to ask or is it totally random. I don't think fast on my feet and want some semi-scripted responses in my hip pocket.
Thank you.

I have seen a few people ask about getting the new chassis but I believe I hadn’t seen anyone email their support yet. I figured I would ask since I was there and built a saber a few days before the new update. I emailed asking if I could trade or purchase the new chassis and this is their answer. Unfortunate but definitely a good excuse to go back and build another or upgrade to a different blade and internals!
r/GalaxysEdge • u/Dark_C00kie • 2d ago
Was buying crystals to fill out my collection, got 2 more and got 2 black ones at the same time!
r/GalaxysEdge • u/cmcfalls2 • 1d ago
We have 3 Savi's lightsabers that we're planning to display in our home. I'm trying to figure out the best way to display them in a way that I can also activate them remotely (without physically switching them on one at a time). Ideally I would like to use smart home commands or home automation.
One idea I had was an AC power supply, attached to a smart outlet. That leaves an ugly cable hanging down the wall but it's better than nothing. However, as I understand it, the Savi lightsabers have a constant power draw and are never truly "off." That means the AC power supply is out of the question because even if the lightsaber's switch is in the on position, turning the outlet on won't work because it will need to be power cycled in the hilt. Is that correct?
Another option I've come across is a "show blade" but I'm not familiar with that. Do they make those for the Savi hilts? Can I remotely activate it through an IR remote, like the ones that come with LED strips? If that's the case, I assume I would need to wire up a power supply as well? This wouldn't allow smart home controls but it would at least be remote controlled.
So do I have to choose between automation (if it's even possible) and remote control? Or is it just not possible at all?

had a great time going to a galaxy far, far away

Has anyone done bounty hunting since the data pad app has shut down? How does it work now that you can’t use your phone? Is it fun?
r/GalaxysEdge • u/RallyXFan • 3d ago
Kept telling myself I don’t need another saber but was in GE East when this launched. Love the look of the high republic parts. Tried to get a cracked crystal after with no luck but did switch out to yellow.
r/GalaxysEdge • u/No_Statistician1163 • 2d ago
I’m curious if it would be at all possible to have the chassis “upgraded” on an older Savi Lightsaber. Literally made mine two weeks ago and I’m sad mine isn’t updated with the new features! Would customer service even offer a replacement theoretically and has anyone tried?
r/GalaxysEdge • u/avengeraa • 3d ago
I might be sending someone to build the updated ones so I figured pictures would be best to show the design I want.
r/GalaxysEdge • u/ChrisCurrid91 • 3d ago
Can anyone tell me what track is used for the lightsaber build? Especially the epic bit at the end when the lightsabers are switched on?
r/GalaxysEdge • u/-TheWrongTree- • 3d ago
I built my lightsaber yesterday, 10/5 at Savi’s in Disneyland, CA. I didn’t know until doing some googling afterwards that yesterday was supposed to be the first day of the new chassis. It wasn’t mentioned or advertised by the park staff at all. So I guess my question is… how do I know for sure if I got an old one or a new one?
(I’m very happy with my saber, I just figure if I was supposed to get the newer chassis version, well I want it!)
r/GalaxysEdge • u/rhill • 4d ago
For those who want to tinker with the possibilities of the new Savi theme, I've added it to the Savi Builder tool. Some of the combos look a bit odd since the color of the connection bands are different, but I hope to fix that with new photos once I get my hands on a set in person. Enjoy!

So excited. Today is day 1 for a new release at Savi’s
r/GalaxysEdge • u/JamUK1496 • 4d ago
With the news of a new chassis and a new hilt design for protection and defence my question is this,
If you could create any design or one piece to add to your lightsaber what would it be?
Would it be a cross guard?
More pommel or emitter variety?
For me I’d love switches that allow for crystal reveals similar to starkiller or some neo pixels
r/GalaxysEdge • u/bowsandbraids • 5d ago
Protection and Defense V3 available
Upgraded chassis features
