When I bought the Reforged Skywalker Lightsaber from Galaxy's Edge, I saw how other people would customize their box so I thought I would do the same. I made the "force theme" play when I opened the box and when I lifted the lightsaber. It gives me a similiar feeling of when Rey opened the box at Maz's Castle or when she handed the saber to Luke in TLJ.

Here's a video of it working:

You can add any sounds you want, it doesn't have to be the same.

Here's a picture of how I managed to fit it all in:

You will need the custom Arduino library built for the shield which can be found here:

I used Audacity to cut the sound I wanted from the finale song from the Rise of Skywalker Soundtrack. I cut them to the length I wanted and added a fade out to the clips. Then I just uploaded them to a microSD card and put that in the Music Maker Shield.

EXPANDED TECHNICAL DETAILS

Immersive Props Soundscape

This project creates a high-fidelity "Atmosphere" sound generator for a replica lightsaber display box, inspired by the Star Wars "Galaxy's Edge" collectibles.

• WAV/MP3 Seamless Looping: Uses a specialized DFPlayer Mini or an SD card module. The Arduino manages the playback of ambient industrial hums and mechanical "Opening" sounds when the box lid is lifted.
• Audacity Audio Mastering: The sound files were pre-processed in Audacity to normalize volume and add 8-bit cinematic reverb, ensuring the audio sounds professional through small speakers.

Hardware Hub

• Lid-Triggered Logic Sequence: Features a hall-effect sensor or a physical limit switch on the box hinge; when triggered, the Arduino pauses the "Ambient" loop and plays the loud "Saber Activation" SFX in perfect sync.
