@Professor Scott

Looks like our sabers have 3/5 common components. I went with a different top sleeve and switch, but have the same emitter, bottom sleeve, and pommel. Good stuff! :cheersL:

I watched all the vids you linked and power and control is what I'm going to go with. Growing up I just remember thinking how cool Vader's saber was and anybody who really knows me can easily guess what kyber crystal I will get as my main choice.

Thanks a bunch for the heads up. I'll also be on the lookout for sir James I guess.

Cool!

Might want to see what the Gen2 P&C looks like before finalizing that decision (it hasn't dropped yet as far as I know), as they'll probably be at Disneyland before you go, but I'm glad you're liking what you're seeing.

I hope you have as much fun with it as I did. It's some legit Disney magic.

Good point but looking at the elemental went from gen1 to gen2 I would think that anything they do with it won't affect my opinion accept for the better as they would likely just Incorporate more palatine.

I found a picture of the Gen2 Power and Control:

https://wdwnt.com/2022/05/new-looks-and ... axys-edge/

This was from last May when the Gen2 Saber Refresh was announced so I'm not sure if it's final or not. Unlike the other 3, I haven't seen any updates on the Gen2 P&C yet.

That said, these things look pretty badass. I'm not sure this style is my jam, but that trident style emitter looks pretty sweet.

I'm currently in the middle of planning my own Disney trip for late spring so I'm plugged back into all of the news updates. I'll let you know if/ when I see anything else worth mentioning.

We got our flights and hotel booked. Tickets to the park reserved. Going Feb 21 -25. Really looking forward to being there and getting my power and control saber.

Loved it. Moved a little quick but still good. Both Carrie and I really loved Galaxy edge as a whole. We are both huge fans of the rise of the resistance ride.

I had hoped they would eventually expand it and drop the cost. I can see it being worth it for such a unique experience. But as it was it was just too much for too little... :shrug:
