Andrew Lawden was Liam Neeson’s stand-in double in 1999 Star Wars film.

Mr Lawden has been travelling around the country (London) teaching children the art of the fictional power sword, and throughout August his Jedi Fight Academy will be running classes in Theatro Technis, Somers Town.

“The Jedi classes are about 30 minutes long. I give them a safe plastic light saber – it lights up in different colours – and I teach them a lot of basic moves and then I teach them a bit of a fight routine and a mixture of moves from the film.”
