Lightsaber-Wielding Turf Wars

The 'Epic Jedi Gang Fight' Shows How Star Wars Influences the Hood

— July 29, 2011 — Pop Culture
Real street violence just isn't as much fun to watch as this 'Epic Jedi Gang Fight' video. Missing are the acrobatics, the telekinesis and the epic sword fights that can only be found in a Star Wars movie. Well, Youtube users can now indulge in some sick beat-downs with this 'Epic Jedi Gang Fight,' as viewers see two gangs, dressed in red and blue respectively, duke it out against one another with the ways of the Force.

My favorite fighter has got to be the one dude with a mini lightsaber nunchaku. It looks pretty badass and lethal.
