Looks like something to one up Universal's Potter Wands.

Wow this would be really cool!!

 

[JIMINYCR]

Now thats going to be great fun. What a way to attract the SW fans.

In before someone slams this as a glorified meet and greet a la Enchanted Tales with Belle. "It's not a ride, so it doesn't count as an attraction," they'll complain.

That's groundbreaking stuff.

I'm probably the only one here giggling at how funny that video was....

No, it was unbelievably cheesy. But then when you read the patent itself, your mind explodes a little bit.

I liked it better when Nick Arcade did it:

::falls to the ground in utter shock and delight at the prospect of this::

I can't stress enough how awesome this would truly be.

Well, I guess that answers the questions about why Disney wanted drones in the parks.

Edit: because autocorrect is an idiot.

Sounds fun!

Pretty sure giving people lightsabers that aren't just Hasbro plastic ones and fighting a laser shooting robot is a significant step up from giving children cardboard cutouts of Beauty and the Beast characters to tell a character her own story.

This guy gets it ^

 

[DManRightHere]

It seems cool, but I really don't think the finished product will really have the "wow" factor...maybe for a choreographed show..

 

[Maerj]

I hope they remember that adults would like to participate as well. Don't make this just for kids!

but who actually goes to Belles to play with cardboard?

 

[Phroobar]

Those drones better look like this

 

[bethymouse]

So... will this be in Star Wars Land at DHS, or will it replace part of if not all of Disney Quest?

 

[DisneyFans4Life]

This sounds totally amazing. I wonder if this will have to be preplanned ahead of time, sorta like how the Jedi Training currently is at DHS.

 

[Phroobar]

Problem is there is no tactical feedback when one lightsaber hits another one.
