Am 14. August kommen die Clone Wars in die Kinos der Republik. Im Cinemaxx Mülheim gibt es ausserdem in der ersten Woche vor jeder Vorstellung eine Lichtschwert-Live-Vorführung von saberproject.de.

Wenn jemand Lust hat in der Woche mal ins Kino zu gehen melde sich doch bei mir oder in den Kommentaren, der Termin ist recht egal, denn ich habe noch Ferien…

Im Prinzip müsste man sich dafür eine Wii und eine XBox 360 kaufen um sowohl das sicherlich abgefahrene Wii-Lichtschwert-Handling zu erleben¹, als auch die NextGen Grafik der Xbox zu sehen…

Ja, was macht man denn da nur?

We’d heard of the NY Jedi School before—for those who haven’t, it’s pretty much exactly what it sounds like—but we’d never seen a class in action until we spotted this clip on ABC. Given that lightsabers don’t actually exist, we were confused just how the…logistics…worked out. Now we know. And yes, it’s every bit as dorky as we dreamed (or nightmared) it would be.
