What does a Giant Lightsaber signify...?
...I have absolutely no idea! And yet there appears to be an oversized light-sword of some description embedded in the ground in the Docklands in Dublin...
Can someone indicate to be the exact significance of this 'monument'? Or is it a 'sculpture'? Whatever it is, it's definitely a lightsaber. Seriously. No really, it is!
I wonder was there a battle between two enormous Jedi on the roof of the Millennium Tower (the building in the background) or something. That seems the most likely explanation...
[UPDATE: I have done a bit of research as to what exactly the significance of this particular 'thing' is, and have come up with... nothing. Nada. Anyone else know what the story is?]

It was the pinnacle of the town planner's career (or whoever else is responsible).
All his life he'd been plotting for this moment, ever since he first watched Star Wars at age 6.
"I'm going to become a town planner, and be in charge of civic sculpture, and build the biggest darn light sabre the world has ever seen!"
It's touching really.

No my dear, it's definitely not a crane. It's about 15 feet tall for a start (that's a bit small for a crane).

No, no, no, this is a baby crane.

And there was me thinking the 'lightsabre' tag in your flickr thing was going to lead to interesting new places, and there's only the one picture in it! I feel cheated...

I reckon it might be the first of many, QE. :-)

Cheep Nat?! As in a birdie goes cheep cheep? Or cheap? Who or what am I shooting cheap(cheep?)ly? I'm confused. Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi...

Never, ever, going to try and be witty in comments again. I'll just skulk away all cheepish-like now...

Hmmm.. err... it's not that you weren't witty as such, it's more that I don't know what you meant? And I'm genuinely confussed. :-)
