Disney’s new patent for an extendable blade... (https://www.wdwinfo.com/news-stories/disney-designs-new-lightsaber-that-extends-and-retracts-just-like-the-film-versions/)

This is different.

Interesting. I don't think you'd be able to do any kind of sparring besides light taps, but it'd certainly look cool.

Very cool. Looking forward to seeing if this ends up getting a foothold in the hobby sometime in the future!

Damn it, I wanted to be the first to post this... Oh well, you win some you lose some.

I am interested to see how they diffuse the LEDs...
Looks complicated....durability will likely be an issue...

Sounds like a cool idea, though I don't think there will be much room for sound, crystal chambers and the likes. How will the tip be atached if the blade is made of two, at first separate, pieces?
