Last night the force was with Washington Square Park as a Lightsaber Battle brought out the masses. But these weren't your father's lightsabers, Luke. 3,000 blacklight-reactive, meter-long cardboard tubes were distributed as massive blacklight cannons took aim, lighting up the crowd. After the battle was over, the tubes destroyed, and hopefully the intergalactic mess cleaned up... the crowd headed to a secret Brooklyn loft afterparty, which if these photos are any indication, was quite heavy on the dudes.

Not the first time sci-fi has overtaken the streets of New York (last year the USPS installed some R2D2 mailboxes), Spike TV has sprinkled Star Wars ads all over town. Their most eye-catching yet involves lightsabers in a bus shelter (pictured), which amNY spotted at West 34th Street and 8th Avenue.
