Feb 16 2010Beats Me: World's Largest Lightsaber Fight?
This is a video of a flashmob lightsaber fight that took place over the weekend at a mall in Britain. Now I'm not saying I would have screamed and soiled my pants had I been in the midst of all that, but I would have robbed the nearest jewelry store and blamed it on Luke Lightsaber over there.
Over 100 Star Wars fans broke into an an massively epic lightsaber fight in Bristols Cabot Circus, a shopping mall in Bristol, England. The flashmob was organized online through facebook, and took place on February 13th 2010.
Over 100 people is all it takes to be the world's largest lightsaber fight? I would have figured it would at least take 1,000. But what do I know about world records? Besides, oh I don't know, WORLD'S FASTEST LOVER! Aaaaand I'm good.
Hit the jump for a longer, more professional video.
Largest Lightsaber Fight EVER [slashfilm]
Thanks to Victor, David and GuamOtoko, who are invited to come over and beat each other with wrapping paper tubes until one passes out.

Only 100 people?! I bet Geekologie readers alone could challenge that "record." Who's with me?
8. Yf Wong - February 16, 2010 11:42 AM

12. Darth Bama - February 16, 2010 11:50 AM
Looks like a bunch of idiots hitting each other with sticks. Where are the lightsabers?
13. Darth Sidious - February 16, 2010 12:07 PM
The time has come. Execute Order 66.

16. Blastphemer - February 16, 2010 12:17 PM
All too easy.
17. LSDiesel - February 16, 2010 12:17 PM
@11, They weren't expecting someone to watch it with there nose pressed up the screen six times in a row.
18. naas - February 16, 2010 12:19 PM
@15 that's also GWs house
19. Closet Nerd - February 16, 2010 12:31 PM

20. naas - February 16, 2010 12:36 PM

21. Dannyboy - February 16, 2010 12:40 PM
Man, I wish that happened where I live, I would totally bring like five lightsabers and beat everyone off with them. What? What do you mean, I didn't say I'd... oh you!
22. blueZorro - February 16, 2010 12:41 PM

23. CalebTH - February 16, 2010 12:44 PM

25. Anon - February 16, 2010 12:55 PM

27. Closet Nerd - February 16, 2010 1:22 PM
@20 I like the smell and the sticky grip
28. wes - February 16, 2010 1:25 PM
that sucked, a bunch of girls awkwardly swinging around wiffle ball bats? I'll show you how its done. shhhinnnngggg
29. K - February 16, 2010 1:35 PM
That was surprisingly lame.
30. Dishy D - February 16, 2010 2:00 PM
A geek orgy.
31. Blastphemer - February 16, 2010 3:25 PM
BULLSHIT!!! Sorry, my friends, but I gotta call BS on this one. THE largest flashmob lightsaber battle happened back in my college days. You see...me and a shit load of other dudes were completely hammered, bought some body paint, decided to paint our schlongs like lightsabers, and the rest....well the rest is history.
Wait...maybe that couldn't technically be considered a flashmob. Oh well, in that case...nevermind - good reporting GW.
What? Don't judge me.
32. che-che - February 16, 2010 3:28 PM
pretty lame, i totally would;ve taken my shank, and stick it to all them jackasses!
33. monkey - February 16, 2010 4:02 PM
I counted them to only 97 where is the other 3? LAME
34. suomynonA - February 16, 2010 4:47 PM
Damn this is taking long to load. Neighbor needs to upgrade his internet already...
>:(
:D

35. Blastphemer - February 16, 2010 4:59 PM
@34 maybe if you used your keys to scratch a little message into his car, he'd consider it. Something cute like, "UPGRADE YOUR INTERNET NOW, BITCH, OR YOUR DOG'S NEXT!!!". You know? Keep it classy and light...blah, blah, blah...something about attracting more bimbos with honey...
36. Bowel Bomb - February 16, 2010 5:07 PM
I ain't gunna lie to you... this is as gay as shit...
That's not a fight... that's a rave.... As number 6 said. a third of them are foam swords....
37. suomynonA - February 16, 2010 5:17 PM
@35
Lol, true. They are always driving somewhere, always.
And i would rather do it to the dog first because that little thing is the most annoying thing you have ever heard in the world. Even more annoying than the most annoying sound from that movie.
38. foofoo? - February 16, 2010 8:01 PM
ahhh WHAT!? i live like 2 miles from there!!! >:( the moment i quit facebook this happens ... >.> typical
39. ASenseOfRevenge - February 17, 2010 1:56 AM
Would have been way cooler if they all had Force FX lightsabers instead. Sure it would probably break but this just blows.
40. E.T. - February 17, 2010 9:41 AM

If there was ever an opportunity to bring a gun to a knife fight...
43. Wombl - February 18, 2010 2:29 PM
omg I live in Bristol! Can't believe I missed this!
44. karz - February 21, 2010 5:20 PM
i'm ashamed to call myself a star wars fan... it could of been orchestrated so much better, instead of a bunch of geeks and kids waving a bunch of cheap plastic about, like if they all had force fx lightsabers instead.
