Lightsaber Battle In Toronto

Posted By Mike on November 21, 2007

Friend of TFN and the Force-Cast, Sheldon, sent us news of a lightsaber battle to be held at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto at 9:30 pm on November 16th. From a post at Newmindspace.com:

"Not too long from now, in front of a museum that looks like a Jawa Sandcrawler, a battle of epic luminescence will break out between warring factions of Jedi and Sith. Defend the galaxy from darkness with UV lightsabers!

1,600 blacklight-reactive, meter-long cardboard tubes will be distributed in front of the Royal Ontario Museum, where there will be six massive blacklight cannons aimed at the crowd :) Wear a costume! The battle will continue until every tube is destroyed!"


Click here for the full story.


Thanks Sheldon!

Thanks to Jerrold L. for the link!


UPDATE #2: Our friend Daniel from Fan Force Toronto was nice enough to send in a couple of pics of him and his fan force buddies at the Toronto lightsaber battle. See below (click on the pics for the full view):
