Darren Sherman has started a campaign to officially make lightsaber competitions an Olympic event. He calls it the "Light My Saber" campaign, and it aims to bring the sport of lightsabering to the 2016 Olympics at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
I know some of you might think the idea is ridiculous, but this fun video Sherman released might change your mind. It's a crazy idea but there's a lot of crazy kinds of competitions in the Olympics already, so why not? Sherman says that lightsaber competitions could be individual skills, point-based sparring, or choreograph saber duels.
Lightsabering is the fastest growing sword sport, with millions of fans across the globe. This iconic sport deserves to be an official event at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio!
