Destination D23 is bringing us so much Disney news!

Today Josh D’Amaro, Chairperson of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, gave us a look at the REAL lightsaber and a sneak peek into a few Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser experiences, including lightsaber training. Check it out!
First, Josh D’Amaro exposed the myth of the REAL lightsaber. It is, in fact, REAL, and it is amazing.

And if you make your way to the bridge of the Halcyon, there’s even more to do!

You can press buttons…

…and even “change” the ship settings!

You can even help defend the ship and destroy the invading TIE Fighters.

AND you can take the Halcyon into hyperspace!

Check out the FULL sneak peek of lightsaber training and bridge games here!
