I've seen a few Star Wars lightsabers in my time, and have swung enough around to avoid hitting myself most of the time. That's why I wasn't expecting to be surprised by new merch that recreates one of the coolest moments from a galaxy far, far away. This really is a weapon from a more civilized age.
Based on Anakin's appearance in the dream(ish) sequences of Ahsoka, the Anakin Skywalker Color Changing Legacy Lightsaber does exactly what it says on the tin – it flashes between the blade's usual blue and Darth Vader's red at the push of a button, reflecting his switch from Dark to Light during the show. This is really cool to witness in-person, and drew a crowd when I visited Disney's London HQ to check out upcoming May 4 merch. Although other, third-party Star Wars lightsabers can pull off the same trick, it's not as easy as it is here; you have to cycle through various modes to get what you want.
