Star Wars Fans Take To San Francisco's Streets Thanks To Nerdist Industries' Course Of The Force
Geek-focused digital media company Nerdist Industries did something kind of amazing in the lead up to last year's Comic-Con International it staged a relay race called the Course of the Force, where fans carried a lightsaber along the California coast to raise money for the Make a Wish foundation.The company (now owned by Legendary Entertainment) brought the event back this year, and it swung through San Francisco yesterday. You can see footage from the run and my interviews with a few of the participants in the video above not only was I struck by the awesomeness of some of the costumes (seriously, if you are any kind of science fiction geek, watch for the cross between Iron Man and C-3PO) but also by the diversity of the runners in terms of age, gender, home city, and more.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/3eW7sUUysvQ/
