It’s tough searching through YouTube for flash mobs and find something a little bit different. It seems that everyone’s doing a freeze or a song and dance style flash mob. So, it was with a bit of joy that I discovered this little clip.

Hundreds of lightsaber-wielding Star Wars fans hit Cabot Circus in Bristol, England for one epic battle. Young and old were involved – some really got into the dressing up, some looked like they just came along for the lightsaber action. Hit the “more” link to check out the video.

Yes, I know I’m a little bit behind on this, as it hit Scifi sites and mags all over the world earlier this year, but it doesn’t make it any less awesome 🙂 What I love about this is that it doesn’t seem to be rehearsed, choreographed or professional – it just looks like a bunch of people coming together to hit each other with coloured sticks! Brilliant!
