This past Saturday night, Newmindspace, a non-profit organization which has been organizing free, large-scale all age events throughout North America since 2005 (known best for their tremendously popular pillow-fight), hosted their annual Jedi-worthy light saber battle in Downtown Manhattan?s Washington Square Park. The event, which proved smaller than past years, was, nevertheless, a spectacle to be seen with vibrant colors of green, blue and red enthusiastically lighting up the arena. Those who took part?many adorned in their best Star Wars-themed ensemble - collectively improvised numerous battles, swinging their faux weapons about, illuminating the massive arches at Washington Square.
