Dublin’s national monument the Spire has been turned into a massive lightsaber in honor of Star Wars: The Force Awakens being released this week.
The film, which stars our very own Domhnall Gleeson who plays villain General Hux in the movie, is the latest installment in the iconic sci-fi series.
The film is set for release in Ireland on December 17, and it appears that the Spire done up as a giant lightsaber is to increase the hype for the film’s release, with passers by uploading snaps to Twitter.

The world premiere for the film took place in Hollywood last night, with Domhnall bringing along his acting legend father Brendan to walk a star-studded red carpet.Â
It has also been reported that details of the film are strictly under wraps, as all guests that attended the premiere are banned from posting any details about the film on social media.
