Yesterday we posted the news that the BT Tower was to be turned into the biggest lightsaber of all-time and we were inundated with tweets from people asking if this was a joke! I’m pleased to inform you that not only did it actually happen, but we were there to capture the event in all it’s glory. We also got to catch up with some of the original cast in the movie including Anthony Daniels (C-3PO) and Warwick Davis (Wicket) )who were there to turn the lights on.

To celebrate the release of the Star Wars Blu-ray box set that was released earlier in the week. You can click here to order your copy.

Below we have some images from the event and we’ll update the post with a report from the night asap.
