A few hundred Jedi and Sithlords crammed into Washington Square Park in New York for a giant Lightsaber battle. There were demonstrations of proper lightsaber technique, people all partaking in the fun. There was even some lightsaber battle betting going on.

One of the organizers of the event,Kevin Bracken,was quoted... "Last night's lightsaber battle was phenomenal! 500 lightsabers were reserved in advance, and easily 1000 people showed up. I am happy we can put on big family-friendly events; so many parents and kids last night. The Arch in the park made for an epic backdrop, and my favorite moment of the night was setting up an epic Braveheart-style skirmish with deafening cheers from each side."
