Sith Vs Jedi in Times Square


To promote the release of Star Wars: The Old Republic, the game’s publishers put on an elaborate display of force-powered action in Times Square. Don’t let me spoil it for you, check out the video below for the Sith vs Jedi brawls:

There were a few hundred people in attendance and even more watching. I thought it was pretty damn impressive myself and I can’t begin to imagine the hours of preparation that went into this.
