Two The Hilt: Sci-Fi Scarborough 2016 photographs

scarborough-spa-jedi-vs-sith

We had such a great time in Scarborough! The sun was shining, and the Spa Complex was an amazing backdrop for a weekend of sci-fi fun and games.

Jay and Erwyd battled it out three times a day with their lightsaber duel. Now that Erwyd has turned to the dark side, it’s up to Jay to keep the Sith Lord in check.

R2-D2 even showed up to watch one of their duels, but the little droid was sensible enough to keep out of reach of their superheated blades.

We were also filmed by Redshirt Films, for their convention video. Click here to watch it on YouTube, you can see us at around 3 minutes 37 seconds in.

Our  academies were a great success, with Star Wars fans of all ages being taught how to handle a lightsaber.

Some of our padawans came back again and again, thirsty for knowledge in the ways of the Force.

We also found time to hang out with some of the sci-fi fans.

Jay & Ewryd did some filming with Starwind Images, and Jay even got to face off against a medieval knight in armour.

We were also working alongside some well known names from the big sci-fi franchises, including Garrett Wang from Star Trek Voyager.

Check out our video highlights from the weekend:

Gatling and Erwyd will be heading to Yorkshire next weekend for the epic convention that is Sci-Fi Scarborough. They’ll be  training young Jedi in the use of the lightsaber, as well as entertaining with their own show-stopping exhibition duels.

Sadly, our once loyal Erwyd has fallen to the temptation of the dark side of the Force, and it falls to Jedi Gatling to stop the newly risen Sith Lord.

Sci-Fi Scarborough takes place at the Scarborough Spa Complex on the 9th and 10th of April, and you can get all the information on this great event on their website : http://scifiscarborough.co.uk Be sure to check out their Facebook page too: www.facebook.com/scifiscarborough
