The release of the Star Wars saga on Blu-ray last weekend prompted promotions and celebrations around the world. Some of them were smaller in scale (like an intense couch-surfing marathon of all six films) and some of them were grander. In addition to the BT Tower being transformed into a lightsaber in London, these lightsabers appeared in Japanese train cars.
