World's First Self-Retracting Lightsaber Toy Debuts

The Goliath Power Saber, a long-desired automatic extending and retracting lightsaber toy, has been developed by inventor Yair Shilo after a failed collaboration with Hasbro. Despite Hasbro's initial interest, the project was abandoned, allowing Shilo to secure his patent and partner with Goliath for its release. The Power Saber features a unique mechanism that allows the blade to safely retract without harming the user, a design that Hasbro struggled to achieve in the past. Additionally, Disney is launching a limited edition Star Wars: The Clone Wars lightsaber hilt set, celebrating iconic characters with a detailed presentation and collectible features. As lightsaber battles remain a central theme in Star Wars media, fans continue to see innovations in both toys and storytelling. These developments reflect the ongoing enthusiasm and creative potential within the Star Wars franchise.
