Star Wars fans, The Spire is now a lightsaber as TIE fighters roam the streets

Well strike me down

Well strike me down.

Star Wars fans will have their own preferences when it comes to the ideal lighsaber. Some will argue that Darth Vader’s iconic red blade is the best while others might prefer the reach of Darth Maul’s double-edged saber.

Personally speaking, it’s all about Count Dooku’s curved lighsaber but I’ve turned to the dark side a long time ago.

Kylo Ren’s crossguarded weapon is the talk of all Star Wars fans right now but it doesn’t come close to matching the size of The Spire in Dublin.

Take a look at the newest weapon for any budding Jedis or Siths in the capital.

Wait because by the beard of a bantha, that’s not all. A very talented compositor named Andy Rea has managed to capture footage of Imperial TIE fighters swarming the streets of Dublin.
