The nice thing about new media and platforms like YouTube is the possibility for many people to present their ideas, creativity and projects.
Speaking of Star Wars, we find a lot of fan films, fanmade trailers and the like on the web. One sub-category of Star Wars fanfilms are lightsaber choreographies. A broad variety of interpretations can be found with a little bit of research.
