* THIS IS NOW A FAN-RUN EVENT!* We will not be distributing lightsabers at this event, but it is free and BYOL. If you contributed to the Tilt, your card was never charged and the hold will be reversed by Tilt shortly. Have fun! MTFBWY
JEDI AND SITH! We may have had a battle earlier this year, but now that The Force Awakens is about to rock the planet, many have been asking: What about NYC?! Well, we're going for the World Record for the Largest Lightsaber Battle in the World, so you got it!
Join us for a massive battle of Jedi vs. Sith in NYC on Star Wars Episode VII opening weekend. Pick a side of the force and use that venerable, ancient, glowing tool: the lightsaber, in the ultimate nocturnal showdown. In the past we have attracted up to 2000 warriors in New York City and Toronto, and we can expect even more this time :)
