The giant lightsaber

The force hits London

The giant lightsaber

We've made it pretty clear that we want a lightsaber. While we're starting to get a bit impatient about actually receiving a real, workable one, we're still not tired of any lightsaber-related news.

Last night, to celebrate the Blu-ray release of the entire Star Wars saga, the BT tower in London was transformed into a giant lightsaber. The lights were turned on by none other than Anthony Daniels, aka C-3P0 while other characters were also in attendance.

You can see a video of the event below and more pictures after:

As Content Director of Shortlist, Marc likes nothing more than to compile endless lists of an evening by candlelight. He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK. At Shortlist you'll find him mostly writing about movies and tech, so no change there then.
