Random Scandal Sheet for Sunday 1/3/16

What southern Florida is talking about this week:

Classes in Jedi lightsaber fighting.

For reals.

There is a dedicated group who are doing down here what has been done in New York for quite some time -- a bit of choreography for now and a little combat for later, WITH actual "high-end" lightsabers.  Just like in the movies.

Apparently, there's a movie out right now or something that has people pretty excited about lightsaber duels ...

(To be fair, I was all about the original Star Wars when I was young ... and I did eventually catch the prequels on demand ... but I haven't had the courage to avoid getting shot at an actual movie theatre for quite some time ... so I'll take my risk with the chance of seeing spoilers and wait for the premier of that film #7 when it can be watched from the comfort and the safety of my couch [I know ... I know ... I'm letting the evil Sith win ...].  Besides, I'm too much of a contrarian to do it just because everyone else has ... I have my commitment to an exaggerated sense of uniqueness, after all.)

THE LOCAL GROUP (NEW IN 2015):
