When will they be able to make regular sized sabers? Are retail saber doomed to be forever extra wide?

Until consumers can be trusted to not break the thin neck sabers and claim that they're faulty, All we're gonna get is fat necks haha
but what about the fat bodies? is their claim because of batteries?

It looks like it's twice as big as the actual prop, and the on-off switch is UUUUUUGGGGLLLYYYYYY. Why didn't they make the switch activate off the LEDs or something?New Rechargeable Darth Sidious Legacy Lightsaber Hilt Available at Disney's Hollywood Studios - WDW News Today

It looks like a Hildo but spelled with a D.

I agree but at least the switch is stylized to compliment the rest of the design unlike the slide switch they installed on their Rey hilt.

That and the circuit card plate. I think that is because they have a black wash to help with the proper look and not so plastic. When looking at the BS versio, I was thinking about how much better it would look with such a wash.
Historically when you compare BS and Legacy of the same hilt design, most, if not all reviews tend to show that theBS has brighter blade, louder sound, and better movement reaction FXs. And sometimes the Legacy tend to be bulkier.
On the other hand, the up side (IMHO) is that once you have a Legacy/Savi blade, you don’t have to spend more on the hilt or if you simply want the hilt as a static display piece. Because (once again IMHO) as just a static prop, I think most Legacy hilts are worth the price. However this Obi saber comes with a blade that will cause it to have a higher price so my previous point is moot.

I prefer the fat neck sculpt of the Black Series over the GE fat neck. All the edges look more well defined.
As for the thin neck, I'm more torn on. The BS looks more plastic-y, but the colors aren't right either on the GE. Is it me or is the GE TOO thin on the thinnest sections?

I've been saying that for years and always faced backlash on this forum for it ...
The original concept art drawing developed into the Qui-Gon saber and this one. That saber was ribbed.
