'The Boogeyman' was asked to remove this iconic Star Wars toy.
The original script for Rob Savage’s The Boogeyman gave Vivien Lyra Blair a lightsaber toy to fight the shadow monsters, which would be incredibly fitting, given that the young actress played the role of Princess Leia in Obi-Wan Kenobi. In an interview with Collider's Perri Nemiroff, Savage explained how the lightsaber had to be replaced after Disney took issue with The Boogeyman using a Star Wars toy.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT “Originally, the script was written with Sawyer's character having a knock-off lightsaber that she would hug in bed, that would then fritz out during the scene that then became the moon ball scene. Our office was filled with different Lightsaber toys because we had to find the perfect lightsaber. So we were constantly having frustrated Lightsaber battles during prep.
The Boogeyman Iconic Moon Lamp Was a Last-Minute Addition After Savage discovered they couldn’t use the lightsaber that was part of the script, the director and his crew had to look for a different toy. Savage remembers, “The production design team had to just basically Google ‘Kids toys that light up,’ and we found this moon ball that ended up being way better.” It’s hard to imagine The Boogeyman without the moon lamp, which is a key prop for some of the movie’s best scenes.
