Bristol lightsaber event organised through Facebook
Hundreds of Star Wars fans staged a mass lightsaber battle in the middle of Cabot Circus shopping centre after a covert web campaign.
The would-be Jedi brought their weapons to the Cabot Circus complex in Bristol as part of a 'flashmob'. This was the second event organised by Bristol Facebook members and was organised entirely online.
The glowing but harmless props lit up the centre, and now a film of the event has proved to be a huge hit on YouTube.
Unaware shoppers were stunned as the lightsaber battle commenced in the middle of the busy shopping centre.
A City of Bristol College student was involved in the project and made a documentary about the event for his media course.
This time last year Cabot Circus was the scene of a charity 'flash mob freeze' where participants held poses of their own choosing for several minutes before going about their business.
