PICS: The Spire Lit Up As A Star Wars Lightsaber Was Even More Awesome Than We Imagined

We love you, Dublin. Excitement for tonight's Savoy premiere of the latest Star Wars instalment, The Force Awakens, has reached an all time high. As high as the spire, you might say. Yesterday afternoon, passersby noticed that Dublin's iconic landmark had gotten a familiar makeover, but noted that if it didn't light up, it would be a waste of time.

Well if the spire doesn't turn into a giant lightsaber they're wasting everyone's time pic.twitter.com/u7TOyWQGdG

Well, the people got what they wanted, and these images of the spire are just stunning, whether you are a Star Wars fan or not.

Mitou! #StarWars #Spire
