Exclusive: Hasbro Unveils Four New Lightsabers Ahead of Star Wars Celebration Anaheim

The lightsaber: “not as clumsy or random as a blaster; an elegant weapon, for a more civilized age.”

For the past 45 years, those words, spoken by Sir Alec Guinness as Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars (1977), have fueled imagination and discovery as countless kids around the world have raised their own lightsaber toys in a quest to live out their Jedi Knight (or Sith Lord) adventures.

Now, ahead of Lucasfilm’s Star Wars Celebration 2022 (SWCA), set to take place May 26-29 in Anaheim, California, the Toy Book and Hasbro are teaming up to offer an exclusive first look at four, all-new lightsabers that kids ages 4 and up can wield beginning this fall. Two new lightsabers from the Star Wars Lightsaber Forge collection will join a pair of cute new additions to the Lightsaber Squad lineup alongside a host of new Star Wars toys and collectibles that will be on display in the Hasbro booth (No. 2404) at SWCA.

Kids can harness the power of the Force with the Star Wars Lightsaber Forge Darth Maul Extendable Red Lightsaber, featuring character-inspired design and deco. A deadly, agile Sith Lord trained by the evil Darth Sidious, Darth Maul was a formidable warrior and scheming mastermind. Kids can create his Lightsaber and reimagine their favorite Star Wars moments.

This customizable lightsaber features character-inspired design and an extendable red blade that flicks open and collapses down. Includes blade, cap, cover, and core that are compatible across the entire Star Wars Lightsaber Forge line (sold separately) to create 1,000s of amazing combinations. MSRP: $16.99.

Anakin Skywalker had the potential to become one of the most powerful Jedi ever and was believed by some to be the prophesied Chosen One who would bring balance to the Force. Now, kids can harness the power of the Force with this customizable lightsaber that features character-inspired design and an extendable blue blade that flicks open and collapses down. This set includes a blade, cap, cover, and core that are compatible across the entire Star Wars Lightsaber Forge line (sold separately) to create 1,000s of custom combinations. MSRP: $16.99

Kids can blast off into a galaxy filled with starships and vehicles and get immersed in exciting stories of good versus evil against a backdrop populated by heroes, villains, droids, and space creatures with the Star Wars Lightsaber Squad collection. One of the most fearsome and capable bounty hunters in the galaxy, Boba Fett seemingly met his demise in the Sarlacc pit on Tatooine. A survivor to his core, Fett lived to fight another day.

Designed to look like the bounty hunter character from The Book of Boba Fett, this character-inspired hilt features a yellow extendable blade where kids can recreate their favorite Star Wars moments with a flick of their wrist. MSRP: $11.99.

A veteran of the Clone Wars and now wandering Jedi, Ahsoka Tano forges her own path in the galaxy, righting injustices that she discovers.

Designed to look like Ahsoka as she appeared in The Mandalorian, this character-inspired hilt features a white extendable blade where kids can recreate their favorite Star Wars moments with a flick of their wrist. MSRP: $11.99.

All of these lightsabers will be available at most major retailers beginning this fall.

The next Star Wars adventure, Obi-Wan Kenobi, debuts on Disney+ on May 27.
