Small, green and badass, Yoda was one of the original Star Wars trilogy's biggest surprises, and now you can step into his Jedi shoes with this play-friendly Star Wars Yoda lightsaber, 20% off from the Disney Store this Black Friday.

Get this Star Wars Yoda lightsaber, on sale right now at the Disney Store for $40.

As underlined by the Disney Store's listing, these are toys and are meant for play. Why is that important? Because as cool as the Star Wars Black Series lightsabers are, with their metal hilts and so forth, $200 is a lot of money to lose because a Jedi battle gets a little too heated.

This Star Wars Yoda toy lightsaber is just that, a toy. With its light-up blade and sound effects (including the familiar Star Wars hum) and more, it'll keep children amused and at $40, it's not the end of the world if, against all the odds, they do manage to break it.

Boasting a detachable hilt, it's powered by three AA batteries, which are, thankfully, included. Recognizably styled after Yoda's blade, it's strong enough to survive being whacked against things and is an excellent present for any Jedi aged 3 or over.

Key features: Detachable hilt, sound effects, glowing blade, plastic construction.

Price history: This appears to be a Disney Store exclusive, and we've not seen it any cheaper than its current $40 price tag.

Price comparison: Disney Store: $40

Reviews consensus: We think it's the best lightsaber for kids, an "affordable purchase that your kids will adore." It may not glow as bright as the Black Series lightsabers, but it'll delight Star Wars-loving children.
