Awesome work! ✨👏🏽✨

HeroTech: creates "real lightsaber" that is retractible meanwhile Hacksmith: has created multiple actual real lightsabers that can actually cut stuff and is retractible an entire 7 years before and has created multiple better designs since

That is so good! You should make another to duel!

Incredibly impressive! Congrats on this build. Looking forward to see your progress as you refine the design.

So this is the same shit as the others, cool

*slams money on the table* give that thing, now.

Looks good but I would hide the motor sound with sound proofing and add in a tiny fan to keep things cool.

This is SICK👍👍👍! May I know which Seeed XIAO you guys are using for this project?

This is amazing work all together

You going to sell these?

If you guys make a slimmer, fully metal version for production, I'd buy the shit out of it.

There's a Disney Imagineer somewhere very mad you made this. No doubt a DIY is more affordable than what they would charge eventually at Galxys Edge. Great work!!!

Bro this is mind blowing, really really good job mate, this is unbelievable

Hello, this is Seth from WBZ-TV in Boston. Would your team still be around to do an interview on this? Thank you.

Amazing! Congratulations on the great work!

Congratulations Team!!! Very excited work and result!!!

Congratulations you out did disney And george lucas will be please

Too bad there's not an addressable cob light strip so you could just have it light up the portion that's visible. Maybe such a thing will exist someday. Really neat project. Interested to see where you go next with this.

Careful they came after me !! Disney took over my design had nothing to fight

hacksmith already did this

Hilt is too big and blade moves too slow, also can you even hit stuff with it?

Yo Adam Savage!! Why didn't you think of this??😂

Sssoooo… You folks have 311k worth of subscribers. Unless you all are grossly mishandling your money from all of your many different streams of income, my guess is that you can pool enough money together, to fight Disney on this, in court, should it ever come down to that. If I were you, I would be careful. It’s very difficult to decide what is morally right, here. Disney bought the d*mned thing from George Lucas, who, apparently, loved fan fiction. My guess is that he wouldn’t mind your project and would probably even embrace it. This might be great fodder for you to use, in a court argument. Be very careful. Do your research. If it were me, and I went this far, I would keep at it, until Disney said something. Disney has, quite literally, nearly endless streams of income. For any kind of potential argument that would talk about damages, Disney can suck it. What, exactly, are you damaging, when you compare numbers? These small cases that Disney likes to go after are dumb and petty, in the grand scheme of their tremendous empire. Someone like Universal stealing content - okay. You have a case. But this? It’s ridiculous. Good luck. Amazing product! 😃

you and the chick are some good engineers you will go far, thanks!

Spinning the blade is a brilliant idea, and would replicate how the saber looked like in ANH more than anything. The original lightsaber prop was a spinning rod of reflective projection screen material that bounced the stage lights making the bright shimmering blade.

Adam Savage to the rescue

Pretty sure disney couldn’t get theirs to go back in. So the design is different by default 👍👍. I have no idea how laws work, just rooting for yall 😁

That is so cool!!!!!

Awesome work guys but just a little note LEGO not LEGOS. There is no such thing as Legos.

brilliant!

Has to be the coolest thing i've seen all year! Keep up the amazing work Herotech!

Found this on a Hackaday post. From my brief experience with COB LED strips, I can confirm, they are absurdly bright.

Id buy one

I love it, I actually gave up on a similar design that used an extendable staff I'm so happy you made it work it even inspired me to retry (promise I won't steal the same design) Also thanks for introducing the team.

You are doing gods work gang... keep it up!

Very cool Some ideas on cheaper simpler design Skip the motor, use a wind up retraction spring Use button brakes like on tape measure to release extension and retraction Wind up can be anything but I think fastest would be a rip cord, 1 to 3 feet long, pull a few times to wind up retraction spring You could also make a wind up base, eg attach a handle rip cord winder thingy Also I think springs could be much quieter And on extension you would only have the cane pushing up so practically silent, Retracting the cane I imagine people would be more ok with noise For a super simple design you just throw a string in for controlled brake extension, put a weak spring on string to keep it tidy And users manually press cane into handle For lights over heating you could program them to light up as they extend, once they are spread out and in the air they should dissipate much better, and could save some battery life , Also you could make cool flicker effects turning off some LEDs along the blade For stronger blades , You could over lap multiple canes or Find manufacturer that can make stronger, thicker material, or wider material

current source the LED's

Let me know when I can buy one from you!

this is so dope!!!!!! this beats any replica even if its not duel ready just because it is effect accurate. keep up the good work!!!!!!!!

I want to buy this so bad

You guys are adorable, defo earned a sub with this one. I hope all my kids are like these guys

I so want one!!!

If it took that long luke would be dead 🤣

Hey folks, new member here. I am hopeful for the future of humanity when I see young people like yourselves thinking outside the box. Keep up the great work and I look forward to digging into your library and what comes next. Thank you!

This is a cool design and a great effort. But I do think that the best way to build this is using the dual "tape measure" design that Disney did for the theme parks. It just uses two recoiled electro-illuminescent measuring tapes with motors that retract them out. Because each one is cupped like half a dome, combined together they make a full circle with no gap. Plus it's extremely sturdy and can even take a few light wacks.

A truly wonderful display of idea to concept and concept to fabrication. Keep up the excellent work work, I am very impressed by your workmanship and by your resilient attitude when it came to the inevitable fall downstairs and engineering challenges. Well don't to you all, can't wait to see the improvements that you mentioned. Thanks for sharing and all the best to you all for your futures, they took look very bright. Congratulations

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THISSSSSSSS WOOOOOOOOOO

This is awesome... Honestly, besides the dark saber effect, the only downside i see is the sounds of the retracting blade motor. Is there any way to fix that or is that beyond tech capabilities rn lol?

My guy how does those this look better than Disney’s! You outdid yourself!!
