If you have neighbors nearby or adjacent to your front or back yard, and you're by yourself doing twirling tricks or swinging the saber like as if you were pretending to fight someone, do you ever mind what the neighbors think? Do you care about being 'weird' outside on the yard as a starwars fan?

None of my neighbors can see me, but I wouldn't care anyways.

Nope. Most of the time, if I practice outside, it's in my back yard, though several houses around can probably see what I'm doing. I do also go jogging with them after dark, usually just a single saber but occasionally a double bladed one. I'm sure people have seen/noticed/wondered, but no one has said anything. I do have the volume muted on my sound sabers though.

You only live once. Wrong.
You only die once.  You live every moment of your life.
The question is, are you alive, and living your life? Or just here, and watching your life go by?

 Nor known to life

 So, as I pray, Unlimited Blade Works.

I went for walks and practiced. I used the parking lot of a school nearby. I was nearly attacked by some drunkards that lived across the street. The so called "normal" people don't like individuality that calls attention to anything fun they can't take away.

My yard is not private. It's been a while since I've practiced. Whenever the neighbors 3 houses down have their loud night time parties, I'm tempted to blast Star Wars music and start up again. But, again, drunkards. (No offense if you drink. It just doesn't excuse insults and violence. Antisocial drinking.)

Selfish passion is unquenching.
What strength have you when you are a slave to your passions?
What power without strength of character?
To self centered rage, you will be chained.
The dark side is no victory.

The long path to peace is through balanced emotions.
The first step to gaining knowledge is recognizing your own ignorance.
Serenity is patient, not passionate satisfaction.
Find harmony by understanding chaos.
Become one with the force, which will never die.

WOW. I don't know what to say about that, except that I'm relieved there are some saber enthusiasts out there that have neighbors who don't give a crap about seeing those LED colors waving erratically in the air 😂😉

Nope. I never care what anything thinks of me for any reason.  They can mind their own damn business.  Wink

Nope. Not at all. I don't like any of my neighbors. They all are very rude. Put up a six foot privacy fence two years ago. They all blast their rap crap with their bass and I swing my lighsaber with sound at 3am. It works out.

Either you like Star Wars... Or you're wrong.

I live in a rural small town in a cul-de-sac and my back yard is completely fenced in, but my back yard slopes downward, so some can still see what I'm doing. We all pretty much keep to ourselves around these parts, and many of my neighbors are Star Wars fans anyway and those that aren't either will be soon or just ignore me as "silly", but like others have said, not that I have any reservations about doing what I want anyway... you do you, I'll do me.

Noctis , said it best. I do not care what they think.

We even had one person almost stop in the middle of the road! Glad they did not get hit. MTFBWY!

The reason I don't practice in my parking lot anymore. Some drunken idiot shouting about how they know ninjitsu and how every movement I was doing was wrong...

I stopped caring what the neighbors think a long time ago...

Here the same ... I really do not care about what my neighbors think about me ... I think that in winter, as the sun goes down early and there are not leafs on the trees, they must see me practicing with my glow sticks  Grin

And i do not care about the one who plays drums, and the one who dance on his roof top ...
