Downton Abbey Fights an Evil Butler with Lightsabers

As we gear up for the The Force Awakens to hit theaters, everyone is getting excited, and Star Wars stuff is turning up everywhere. I really like it when lightsabers pop up in weird places that have nothing to do with Star Wars. The perfect instance is that Koala with the lightsaber I mentioned before.

The cast of the PBS show Downton Abbey is clearly excited about Star Wars too. This video was made for charity, and features the real cast of Downton Abbey wielding lightsabers to fight a butler that is scheming to kill them.

It’s pretty weird to see Maggie Smith, clearly looking unimpressed by the butler, wielding a lightsaber. Give her a brown robe and she could totally be a Jedi. If this show had lightsabers in it all the time, I might even watch it.

LEGO Downton Abby Tells Me All I Need to Know About the Show

I am a sucker for cool LEGO projects. If I see one, you bet I will share. I will share even if I don’t know the show or what it is about. Case in point is this LEGO Downton Abbey build that has recently turned up. All I know about that show I learned while watching Iron Man 3.

I watched the movie Emma in the theater with my wife years and years ago. I still haven’t recovered and shun anything that looks remotely English and romantic. The closest I want to come to an English period costume drama is Game of Thrones.

Regardless, this LEGO Downton Abbey build by Eric Stevens looks pretty neat. The builder of the LEGO Abbey even made the characters from the show in minifig form.

This doesn’t look to be one of the more complex LEGO projects we have seen, though the minifigs look like they required a lot of work. I wonder how long it took him to build the Abbey and the minifigs.
