Kendo has had quite a profound impact on the global (universal?) phenomena known as, "STAR WARS"! The iconic "lightsaber" and its distinctive buzzing sounds and dazzling lights has been the fantasy of boys and girls (as well and grown men and women) for as long as the franchise has existed!
In 2015, ESPN produced a documentary about the relationship between Star Wars and Kendo! The 23-min documentary, "Star Wars: evolution of the Lightsaber Duel", can be found on YouTube and below:
The Star Wars influence reached as far as South Africa and our Kendo community! So much so in fact, that over the years, several Star Wars events, and promotions and even videos were created! Here are all the Star Wars & Kendo videos that had been produced in the past:
