So after some more sketches and some back and forth with Lucasfilm, it was decided that the crossguard would activate as opposed to always being open, which would give the saber the slimmer silhouette while holstered and would lend itself to some great visuals when activating."Īfter hearing that design background, it will be great to see what kind of epic adventures Stellan Gios and his Excalibur lightsaber get up to in Star Wars The High Republic.
