Celebration Europe Lightsaber Battle


(video shot by Jan Lomona)

No party is complete without a full-scale lightsaber battle, and at Celebration Europe that’s just what fans got to see. At the Saturday Night Star Wars Party on the Waterfront, fans took over the bridge at the ExCel Center in London, with glowing lightsabers waving for action — the dark side versus the light side. The only thing missing is an angry Acklay!

You can also watch another video of the battle on TheForce.net here.

    Actually “Tarr”, no I havent. I think there is fame enough to go around for the both of us. I licked a stamp the other day and your picture was on the other side!
