Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

[THE 1HAPPY HAUNT]

Yes.

you missed my point. the only way they could do it in a control environment like i said before is going to be a projection effect but you are going to easily tell its fake. there is no way to make a practical blade that looks like it does in the film. so its going to be a fake projection or look like one from savi's. either way its not going to look good. so again temper your expectations. this is the crack team that made Jack Jacks on sticks.

I gave two examples of how it could be done without projection. There are many ways to skin this cat but you and I don’t have the money or resources to test it. To say it is impossible is not true in my opinion.

Surely this is how the Kylo Ren animatronics will look and move in the ride.

SORRY FOR ALL CAPS.

The Kylo saber is real. We’ve seen the patent for the “mid-air blaster bolts” and that’s essentially what it is.

So they got Universal to design the AA?

The patent for the mid-air blaster bolts doesn't really suggest any improvements over the Savi's saber effect. That patent just describes a method of making illuminated transparent tubes appear to fly through the air. Without that rapid motion, all you're really left with is a Savi's saber.

Who says we’re without that rapid motion?

How would rapid motion add anything to a lightsaber effect? The point of a lightsaber is that the light just stays where it is. What would help sell Kylo's lightsaber is if it had a bunch of flames and sparks coming off of it, but that is not what the blaster bolt patent describes.

Yeah that might help. That's not how the blaster bolt patent works though. That's something completely different.

I think the point was more of if they are willing to make it cool, they can.

You know, I think you’re right about the blaster bolt patent and I misremembered it. I’m pretty confident about the saber effect, though.

Was the blaster bolt patent really just translucent tubes and flashing lights?

Yes, I agree. If they put the money and effort in, they can pull off something good.

Here is the blaster bolt patent.

A light source shines a focused red light down the path of the bolt. Along the path, a number of arms swing transparent tubes through the light's path in rapid succession, illuminating the tubes one by one as they catch the light, and creating the appearance of a single blast traveling through the air. In practice, one would imagine this would appear as if a Savi's lightsaber was hurling through the air toward you.

yeah update. Just heard from my contact. This happens in the elevator after the AT-AT scene. The CMs call it the "Kilovator"

The Kylo-vator is a show scene just after the destroyer bridge, which itself is beyond the AT-AT elevators. It’s not an actual elevator unlike the other six (and there’s a pair of them)

 

[Goofyernmost]

I saw a commercial for WDW the other day and I think they were pushing the rise of the resistance along with Smugglers Run. Could that mean that it is open or about to open?

 

[Joesixtoe]

..nah clickbait. Someone sent it to me the other day and its nothing new (for us)

(For us) are key words there.. that video is for the many who do not come onto these forums, so clickbait it is not.

You're welcome:

Perhaps a Star Destroyer bridge?
