Take a closer look at the Asajj Ventress Limited Edition Legacy Lightsaber Hilt Box Set, available at Galaxy’s Edge from 8th March as well as being on DisneyStore.com from 11th March. StarWars.com sat down with Disney’s senior manager of merchandising Cody Hampton to discuss this beautiful set.
StarWars.com: This new set is loaded with exclusive features, including printed character quote insert, double-bladed saber adapter, and the packaging itself. What are you most excited for collectors to experience with this set?
Cody Hampton: I would say the most exciting part of the “Disciple of the Sith” Limited Edition box set (aside from the detailed hilts themselves) is the wooden box and the way it functions. This set was more challenging to create than many of the previous sets. First, taking something only seen in animation to the real world and turning that into a product can be difficult. Next, we wanted this to look and function like we saw in the series, which included four pieces opening from the top to reveal the lightsaber hilts inside. Lastly, we wanted the presentation of the crossed hilts with the dark side red inlay to look like it did on screen.
Overall, we are excited about the execution as it truly is inspired by what fans see in the series. We also like to include an insert that features the individual number of the set, so fans know this is truly limited to the edition size. On each insert we also enjoy including a character quote from the film or series that continues the storytelling of the entire set. This set also includes that special adaptor, so fans can connect the two hilts for that double-bladed wielding action. The Legacy Lightsaber blades are sold separately.
