Last year, The Disney Store launched Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge lightsaber hilt replica that was inspired by the Jedi Knight Stellan Gios from The High Republic series of novels. It was a fantastic set that came with the hilt, a comic book, crossguard blades and a wooden display box, so it was no surprise when they blew through the 5000 unit limited edition release despite the $325 price tag. However, if you missed out on that set we have some very good news.

The Stellan Gios Legacy Lightsaber Hilt will make a comeback on December 19th at 12am PT / 3am ET here at The Disney Store in a more affordable package priced at $179.99. Just keep in mind that he cutoff to receive orders via free standard shipping by Christmas Eve is Thursday, December 19 at 2pm PT / 5pm ET. Details about the hilt can be found below, including a gallery of images.
This time around the Stellan Gios hilt won’t include the wooden box or the comic book, opting for a standard hilt case with a lined interior and a Rebel Alliance Starbird insignia. The hilt itself appears to be the same, complete with crossguard blades and the ability to fold up. It will also produce sound effects and illuminate blue when a lightsaber blade is added. As is generally the case with Disney Star Wars lightsaber hilt replicas, you’ll need to purchase the blade separately. A full breakdown of the features can be found below.
