MEXICO CITY — A park on the south side of Mexico's capital lights up with a multicolored glow of lightsabers as a man slashing a white saber through the air shouts: "Check the defense!"

Founded in 2019, the Jedi Knight Academy is a lightsaber combat and choreography school, one of the few existing in Mexico and a dream come true for fans of the Star Wars franchise. During daily three-hour sessions, fans of the George Lucas saga can learn how to perform lightsaber combat in true Luke Skywalker-style.
