Star Wars fans feel the force

Star Wars fans who want to travel to a galaxy not that far away have created a combat choreography class for Jedis-in-training with their weapon of choice: the lightsaber.
Golden Gate Knights instructor Alain Block, left, and Gary Ripper, dressed as Darth Vader, demonstrate lightsaber moves during class in San Francisco.


Bloch, the self-proclaimed Jedi Master at Golden Gate Knights, demonstrated a slicing technique. He has a background in martial arts and stage combat.


"Always be mindful of the present!" he said, donning a Luke Skywalker outfit and a green lightsaber.
