As anticipation grew for the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Irish fans were left wondering the fate of Dublin’s Spire.
Yesterday, Twitter became a frenzy for tweets about the landmark as it appeared that it had been given the Star Wars treatment and been made into a lightsaber.
Fans and curious members of the public wondered why the change came about, and more importantly, if it was going to be lit up like a lightsaber.
Today, fans were treated to this marvellous site as it appeared that the Force has awoken in Dublin.
Star Wars: The Force awakens is the seventh movie in the franchise and premieres tonight in the Savoy, O’Connell Street.
