The World's Largest Lightsaber Fight

Posted by samzenpus on from the in-a-mall-far-far-away dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Hundreds of Star Wars fans descended on a shopping center in Bristol, UK for what has been dubbed 'the world's largest lightsaber fight.' Bristolian Jedis brought their imitation weapons to the shopping center to take part in a 'flashmob,' a seemingly spontaneous event that was organized over the internet."

    The Individual 11 has spread and is now using light sabers instead of katanas.

  9. It was cool, but boring by nataflux · · Score: 1

    I think it would have been cooler if it was somewhat choreographed, instead of 100 people, have maybe 20, and have a preset order that people will die, maybe even a few lines for the characters to shout during it, have people mime out being force-choked, and have the sword fights planned out, instead of just randomly wacking their neighbor, but its all in good fun really, i doubt a huge gathering like that would be allowed in the US, because it is "simulating violence" :/
