With the holidays right around the corner, you can expect many holiday countdowns or Advent calendars to be released. We’ve seen the last of Lego, which has been difficult to keep in stock, but the Disney Store may have raised the bar.
This one alone blew me away as a Star Wars fan, and we’re exclusively revealing the Star Wars Miniature Legacy Lightsaber Hilts Countdown Calendar from the Disney Store. It’s an aptly named product, as hidden behind paper boxes that look straight out of the Star Wars universe is an iconic lightsaber from the franchise.
While it’s not a full 24-day countdown, it’s 12 days full of intrigue, as until you open it you won’t know if you’re scoring Yoda’s iconic green saber or Darth Vader’s red one. It will probably be at the top of the list for many Star Wars fans, and not just during the holiday season.
I’ll discuss why that is below, but let’s talk about the all-important price and release date. The Star Wars Miniature Legacy Lightsaber Hilts Countdown Calendar will be available to order tomorrow, October 20, 2025, for $99.99, and if you’re in the UK, it can be ordered now for £90. That works out to around $12 per mini lightsaber hilt and display case, so while it may be more expensive than a typical countdown kit, it’s in line with general Star Wars collectibles.
Lego is taking a fun approach with their Star Wars Advent Calendar and I’m tempted to open mine before the holidays. You could be like me and also use this to count down to a trip to Galaxy’s Edge, the Star Wars land at Disneyland or Disney World.
Once unboxed, you’ll find each of the lightsabers in a Star Wars-style box, complete with a card showing who used the lightsaber and other key details. Perhaps they were transported on the Millennium Falcon or kept in a storage compartment on the Death Star! The display case is transparent and each grip connects to the others that you will unpack for easy viewing.

After unpacking all 12, you can stack them four high and three wide. While they don’t light up, make sound, or include the light-up blade, the level of detail on each hilt and extensive representation of Star Wars characters will certainly delight fans. The included lightsaber hilts were used by Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Yoda, Ben Solo, Kylo Ren, Qui-Gon Jinn, Mace Windu, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Princess Leia, Rey, Count Dooku and Anakin Skywalker.
If you’re looking for a plush toy or just want to add to your droid figure collection, launching alongside this countdown calendar is the next Droid Factory figure from the Disney Store. This time, it’s DJR-3X, who was originally a pilot and now spins songs as a DJ at Oga’s Cantina at Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland and Disney World.
This droid ships in classic packaging and features some moving parts, but most importantly it matches the DJ fit you see in the parks, complete with proper weathering. The Droid Factory DJR-3X action figure will also be available tomorrow for $14.99 at the Disney Store.
