How cool is this? If only there was a way to simulate blaster fire and explosions, but imagine that’d be a bit of a fire hazard. Matthias Gruettke breaks down the process of bringing these iconic weapons to life in Star Wars: Legion.

“Not as clumsy or random as a blaster; an elegant weapon for a more civilized age.”
—Obi-Wan Kenobi, Star Wars: A New Hope

Not only does Star Wars™: Legion invite you to build a unique army of iconic troops, vehicles, and characters from across the Star Wars saga, it also gives you the opportunity to put your own personal touch on that army by painting and customizing your miniatures. For some, like Matthias Gruettke, this involves modifying the miniatures themselves, including the weapons they carry into battle.

Lightsabers are some of the most recognizable weapons in the entire Star Wars galaxy, wielded by noble Jedi and ambitious Sith lords alike. Rather than paint the lightsabers on his miniatures, Gruettke carefully replaces their blades with LEDs that reflect the soft glow of an ignited lightsaber. Join him today as he breaks down the process of bringing these iconic weapons to life in Star Wars: Legion!
