NYC Lightsaber Battle 2011 [Lightsaber Riot]

[bizzlekizzy]

Its all fun and games until someone gets light sabered in the butt. "Hey thats not a light saber ! "

[yusdaman93]

I would never bring my force FX lightsaber here...

[HeartlessMayu]

@yusdaman93 Quite a few people did, but they didn't join the main crowd, they mainly stayed off to the sides for one-on-one battles or photos.

[MoonchildDk]

Please please please, someone create a "remix" of this, with the Starwars soundtrack, and lightsaber sounds!!!!

[deusexmachina1945]

now this is just sad

[msremmert88]

Why not make an event of it and just call it the "Annual Virgin Meetup"?

[feebleoldman]

Ahhhhh!! RArrrrhhhhh! ahhhhhh!!! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! WooOOOooooO!!!

[WackyAnimation]

lol, its like a rave gone wrong

[metaking64]

"Hello, this is George Lucas. Since this video was recorded, new technology has allowed me to show this NYC lightsaber battle the way I originally intended. This blue ray release of the popular Youtube video will include eyelids on the lightsabers, a constant NOOOOOOO in the background, and you see that one guy in the background at 0:27? He's CGI now. Also, more Jar Jar."

What is this, Episode IV? All they're doing is swinging it left and right. Can't do all the cool spins in a crowd like that.

[TheMajorStranger]

there should be at least one dude in Darth Maul cosplay!

[SocAnonim]

the force is weak in them

[AssassinParkour]

I wonder if real wars were ever anything like this?

[HeartlessMayu]

@AssassinParkour Probably not, considering everyone just walked away when they got tired and helped up their fallen opponents...

[PhantomR32]

Sith fighting Sith and Jedi fighting Jedi?

[ryan50ryan]

i wonder if anyone got poked in the eye.

for some reason this reminds me of The Venture Bros, the episode where you find out the dad created a light saber but it doesn't actually hurt when you hit someone with it.

[yuena4]

looks like something Improv would do on one of it's mp3 experiments

[Rastefstine]

This seriously seems like it was amazing and crazy fun, okay. <3

[gregoryvn3]

Finally, a riot I wish I was part of! :D

[SupermanofChiTown]

OH DEAR GOD LMAO xD. I can hear the screams, "Wait I dropped the phone where my mom picks me up." " I dropped my retainer!"

[993ti]

So many virgins...

[HeartlessMayu]

@993ti I resent that comment! 

[993ti]

@HeartlessMayu Heehee ;)

[HeartlessMayu]

@993ti Not that it matters and that I feel I have to prove anything to a stranger on the internet, but I'm no virgin, good sir. :|

[Whompa02]

@993ti Was there, been laid, chill out.

[bensoylemistim]

Total retardness, srsly..

[HeartlessMayu]

@bensoylemistim I'm sorry you're a jaded asshole who can't just let loose and have fun. :C

[HeartlessMayu]

@bensoylemistim I'm sorry you're a jaded asshole who can't just let loose and have fun. :C

[bensoylemistim]

@HeartlessMayu

1. Search for Triumph the Dog @ Star Wars Attack of the Clones Premiere in NYC!

2. Skip to 8 37

3. ??????

4. PROFIT

That should soothe you, kind ma'am..

[Bactchan]

Who is organizing these things?

[HeartlessMayu]

@Bactchan It was organized by Newmindspace, a group I was previously unaware of until my friend told me about the lightsaber battle. They made a facebook event for it and advertised it on their website.

[chrisrt88]

looks like a Japanese idol concert.
