Disney patented a lightsaber like that a few years ago and actually produced a couple for use in shows. Essentially it’s a tape measure covered in LED lights with a little motor that pushes it out and pulls it back in. There were even that patent images online showing the basic idea. The issue was the blade was flimsy as fuck and you couldn’t even wave it around that much.
I am in no way trying to lessen what this dude did. He built an amazing lightsaber and I want one!

For those wondering, it appears to be a very complex design of a rotating retractable magician’s cane with an LED strip inside. Here’s his video about it: https://youtu.be/0QArAMtBGx8?si=F3RPuMSNxCSqscOe

This is why comicon is so great. Only place in the world this dude can be the coolest guy in the room. Good for him!
That’s the longer clip showing the build process that the vid in the OP is excepting from. Great vid. amazing build. I’ll have to buy one of etsy once people start assembling it from his plans!

What really magical is that this dude was able to invent this faster and slimmer, than the Disney park. They were demoing something similar, but that was slow and bulky.

I love how everyone immediately does the Luke thing and looks directly into the business end of the lightsaber.

I saw the project leak, I remember he released the plans for like 1 day then locked em behind a paywall.
I think I data horded and downloaded the plans. But I never made it.

Wonder what it cost him to make it. I bet some people would spend over a grand on that thing.

How did we go from a high quality 4k video of the original down to this zoomed in slop.

Any explanation or links for how it works?
I see his Schwartz is as big as mine.

Kids in the 80s would have killed for one of those. It’s so cool
