Several weeks back during an online-only media event, Josh D’Amaro, Chairman, Disney Parks, Experiences and Products, revealed at the very end of the press conference what seemed to be a “real lightsaber” that everyone that was watching the media event went crazy over.

Well, today on May The 4th, the lightsaber was revealed in a very short video featuring Rey. It’s also mentioned that this “real” lightsaber will be a part of the all-new Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Resort starting in 2022 featuring a two-night adventure.

Your adventure begins at the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser terminal at Walt Disney World, where you’ll gather with fellow passengers before departing for your intergalactic destination. You’ll soon enter a special Launch Pod and leave your world behind as you make a hyperspace jump to a galaxy far, far away.

Through viewports, you approach the Halcyon starcruiser, which will be your home for the next two nights. When the Launch Pod’s airlock slides open, you can interact with an eclectic group of characters such as the ship’s captain, a mechanic, and a galactic superstar.

For a limited time, Disney’s Hollywood Studios guests can now see a model of the ship on display inside Walt Disney Presents.

Pictured above, is the Crown of Corellia Dining Room, a bright and welcoming hall that will offer breakfast and lunch to passengers and in the evening, transitions to a multi-course menu.

You will have the opportunity to train with your lightsaber, learn more about the inner workings of the Halcyon starcruiser and jump on a transport to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
