Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is a great game for a number of reasons, but one novelty that will no doubt excite fans is the ability to fully customise Cal's lightsaber. As you play through the game, you'll discover various materials and parts with which to build a laser sword to your liking. It's surprisingly detailed for something that is ultimately cosmetic, but it's a cool feature however you slice it.
Even cooler is that you can make your unique saber a reality. At either Disney World in Florida or Disneyland in California, you can pay a visit to Galaxy's Edge, the recently opened Star Wars location. Here, you're able to build your very own lightsaber, but here's the thing: Fallen Order's in-game materials are the same as what's available in the Disney resorts. In other words, if you know exactly which parts you used for your blade in Respawn's game, you can use the same ones to make a real life replica. Likewise, if you've already built a lightsaber at Galaxy's Edge, you can totally recreate it in Fallen Order. Sweet.
It's pricey, and you're limited to single-bladed sabers only, but fans will certainly get a kick out of this. What do you think of this? Have you built a lightsaber at Galaxy's Edge? Will you now after playing Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order? Choose your weapon in the comments below.

I've seen a lot of the Galaxy's Edge stuff. The 'build your own' sabers look, well - they look really crap! And huge!
I think you may have it the wrong way around though - I saw someone run through some saber customisation in Fallen Order.
I'm certain you could build a/any/most saber from Galaxy's Edge in Fallen Order, but not every saber from Fallen Order in Galaxy's Edge. I just don't think they have that many physical options.
Every time I went over to the lightsaber customisation table on the Stinger Mantis, I ended up coming away with exactly what Cal started with. It suits him, and all of its components have an emotional connection to him, so switching it out for some flashy nonsense I found in a crate somewhere felt like a betrayal.
Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that so much customisation is available in Jedi: Fallen Order. In such a narratively-focused game, and given how important "keeping canon" is to Star Wars, it was a surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.
Most I could bring myself to do was alter his kyber crystal from blue to green around the halfway point, a'la Luke Skywalker and Ezra Bridger.
As somebody into Star Wars I do dig the light saber crafting in the game. I can't help thinking of Vaan from FFXII every time Cal speaks, though.
It's just a replica? Sigh, if I can't even slice up random objects with it, then what is even the point?

So, no DisneyLand Paris? I'm going there in February..
@LowTech I think Star Wars is coming to the Paris park but it's not there yet.
