[UPDATED] Times Square TOR Lightsaber Freeze Mob (Video)

With a launch as big as Star Wars: The Old Republic, you need  a big stage. And there really isn’t a bigger stage than the Big Apple!

Electronic Arts, BioWare and a whole host of Jedi and Sith descended upon Times Square to congregate, celebrate and commemorate the launch of Star Wars: The Old Republic on December 20th, 2011! As you can see from the gallery below, originally from the Star Wars: The Old Republic Facebook page, it was quite a scene! Darth Malgus was there doing what he does best along side hundreds of other Sith and Jedi.

Background: Acutal-size Collector's Edition Box

There was some pretty snazzy signage to be seen in the background as well. From what I can tell, it’s big – but not quite as big as the Collector’s Edition box. It remains to be seen if Malgus will remain in New York to make use of the Ball as a training droid in a few weeks. Stay tuned.

You can view the gallery on the Star Wars: The Old Republic Facebook page, and you should really “Like” it if you don’t already! Enjoy!

[UPDATE] Apparently, this whole shebang was filmed by Electronic Arts, and BioWare has posted in to the official Star Wars: The Old Republic YouTube page. It does NOT disappoint, I may have never seen anything quite as cool before! Embedded here for your convenience.
