Join us for a massive battle of Jedi vs. Sith in San Francisco 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 in San Francisco :)
The event begins at 8:00, at which time we will gather in the park, but not begin battling. Just after 9:00, we will split into Jedi and Sith, and the battle will begin. May the force be with you!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q: Who is Newmindspace?
Newmindspace produces free, fun events around North America, including 5000-person pillow fights in New York City, giant games of Capture the Flag, and a 1000-person bubble battle in Dolores Park in June. They were founded in 2005 and exist to reclaim public space and make "living installations" using favorite childhood activities and thousands of people.
Q: Who is Lightsaber Academy?
Lightsaber Academy is run by veteran Lightsaber trainer Flynn Michael of the New York Jedi, the world first organized Lightsaber Stage combat training club. Now, with partners from some of the best saber trainers in the world like Alain Bloch of the Golden Gate Knights, as we expand world-wide with a new Instructor Certification project, LightsaberAcademy.com is creating a socializing network for those of you who want to do this every week, and our history with Newmindspace has brought together this wide-spread community in unqiue moments that scream fun from the highest rooftops! This time, we are honored to be a part of this one at a time like no other in our planet's history.

Q: Do we get to keep the lightsabers we reserve afterward?
A: Yes!
Q: Can I bring my super awesome custom lightsaber without reserving one of yours?
A: Totally!
