Deadline reached out to Disney Imagineering for details on the lightsaber that appeared onstage, but did not hear back.that appears to have schematic diagrams of the hilt and a written description of how the device achieves its magic. If you want to preserve your sense of wonder, stop reading here.
In some useful embodiments, the special effects device includes two long plastic cylinders that are cut lengthwise. These two pieces are then each rolled perpendicular to their length , which creates compact cylinders of material of relatively small volume that can be provided on a pair of spools or reels. The spools holding the blade body members, along with other blade-producing elements, are housed within the body of the hilt assembly of the special effects device or lightsaber prop.
To extend the blade, a motor provided in the hilt body is operated to unroll the rolled/spooled plastic blade body members from their reels/spools with each member acting much like a metal carpenter’s tape measure. Each blade body member passes through a blade forming guideway or passageway that acts to “zip” the two semi-cylindrical blade body members together as they leave the hilt body, thereby forming the energy blade.
So cool
