Hidden away from the bustle of Batuu, Savi’s has always offered fans a chance to step into the world of the Jedi and create a keepsake unlike anything else in the Disney parks.
Now, Disney has confirmed that a major change is coming to this experience in October. The “Reclaimed and Reforged” storyline—first introduced earlier this year—is set to return on October 12, 2025, for a limited run. And if you’re a fan of Star Wars lore or simply love collecting unique souvenirs, this is one you’ll want to keep your eye on.
What Is Savi’s Workshop?
Savi’s Workshop has long been a must-do for die-hard Star Wars fans. Unlike buying a plastic lightsaber at a gift shop, here you get to construct your own weapon of the Jedi (or Sith) under the guidance of the Gatherers, a group of characters who help you through the process. The atmosphere is dramatic: the workshop is dimly lit, the lore of the Force is woven into every line of dialogue, and you leave with a custom-built, high-quality lightsaber that feels like it came straight out of the films.
Guests typically choose between four different “paths” of design—Peace and Justice, Power and Control, Elemental Nature, or Protection and Defense. Each one offers a set of themed pieces including emitters, sleeves, switches, and endcaps, which you select to make your blade unique. And yes, the kyber crystal at the core is also yours to choose, meaning your blade color is completely in your hands.
At $250, the price is steep, but the experience has kept fans coming back again and again because of its mix of storytelling and personalization.
Enter “Reclaimed and Reforged”
Back in May, Disney debuted a new option for Savi’s Workshop called “Reclaimed and Reforged.” It immediately caught the attention of collectors and fans who had already built one of the original paths. Unlike the other four storylines, this one leans into the mythology of scavenged relics from the galaxy’s many battles.
The concept is that over centuries, lightsabers and their pieces have been lost, traded, or looted by smugglers and bounty hunters. What you’re working with in this path are fragments of the past—weathered emitters, scarred sleeves, and battle-worn switches that look like they’ve been through war. By piecing them together, you’re symbolically creating balance from the galaxy’s chaos.
It’s an evocative storyline that feels ripped right from the Star Wars expanded universe, giving guests a chance to feel like they’re holding a piece of history rather than something brand new.
What’s Changing in October
Disney has confirmed that this special “Reclaimed and Reforged” experience will officially return to Savi’s Workshop on October 12, 2025. It’s being offered on a limited-time basis “while supplies last,” meaning these customization parts won’t be around forever.
Unlike some premium offerings, the price of Savi’s Workshop won’t change if you choose this path. It will remain $250, the same as the other builds, making it an appealing choice for fans who have already gone through the original experience and want something new without paying extra.
Disney has also released a look at the full set of customization options for this run. Just like before, you’ll get to select:
-
One emitter
-
Two sleeves
-
One switch
-
One endcap
Each piece has been designed to match the reclaimed aesthetic—rusted, weathered, and aged, but still beautiful. The result is a lightsaber that feels like a blend of old and new, telling its own story before you even ignite it.
Why Fans Are Excited
For many fans, this update is huge. While the original four paths have remained consistent since the land opened, the chance to see something fresh injected into the lineup makes repeat visits worthwhile. Collectors who already own one—or even multiple—Savi’s sabers are eager to add this limited-edition variation to their arsenal.
And let’s be honest, part of the fun of Savi’s is the surprise. Disney doesn’t frequently rotate or refresh the pieces available, so when they do, it instantly becomes a must-book experience. The fact that “Reclaimed and Reforged” is framed as a temporary storyline only adds to the urgency.
Planning Your Visit
If you’re interested in building a Reclaimed and Reforged lightsaber, you’ll want to plan ahead. Reservations for Savi’s Workshop are highly recommended and can be made on the My Disney Experience app. With this change coming in October, expect availability to go quickly once word spreads.
Remember, this is still a full-blown immersive experience. You’ll need a valid theme park ticket and a reservation for Disney’s Hollywood Studios to enter Galaxy’s Edge. Once inside, your Savi’s time slot gives you a chance to step into the workshop and leave with a lightsaber that’s both a souvenir and a story.
A Galaxy of Change
Disney confirming this new chapter for Savi’s Workshop shows just how much attention the company is giving to Galaxy’s Edge. Between construction walls going up for other projects in the land and new merchandise rolling out, it’s clear that Disney wants to keep Batuu evolving rather than letting it sit static.
The return of “Reclaimed and Reforged” proves that even small updates can reignite excitement for fans. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned Jedi with multiple sabers already on your wall, October’s change gives you a reason to make Savi’s a priority.
Final Thoughts
Disney could have easily kept Savi’s Workshop the same year after year, but this October change breathes fresh life into one of the most talked-about experiences in Galaxy’s Edge. With the Reclaimed and Reforged option making a limited return, the stakes feel higher than ever—do you wait and hope for another refresh, or grab this chance while it’s here?
One thing’s for certain: lightsabers are more than just props at Disney—they’re pieces of storytelling you can hold in your hand. And starting October 12th, that story will be richer, grittier, and more unforgettable than ever before.
