It's West Side Story. With Lightsabers. [Video]

I’ve always enjoyed the kinda-sorta-dance-fights in West Side Story, especially the tragic knife fight in the rumble between Riff and Bernardo.

But you know what would make them better? If instead of pocket knives, the Sharks and Jets had used tiny lightsabers. Watch the video, uploaded by YouTuber speederbikedad. Yep, way better.

What other classic fight scenes would be improved with lightsabers? Can they all be as awesome as this fight from Game of Thrones? Do you think we’ll ever actually invent lightsabers, and if we do, will there be size variants?

Feel free to discuss that, or whatever else, here or over in the Talk Amongst Yourselves forum. Have good chatting, see you on Friday.
