A 21-year-old is celebrating 'May the 4th be with you' with a Jedi light show that makes his Bethpage home feel like you're transported to a galaxy far, far away.
The one-of-a-kind projection show is the work of James Fitzpatrick, a film student at NYIT.
Fitzpatrick uses his house as his canvas to create a display that would make Star Wars fans proud. The show features all of the favorite heroes along with some of the villains.
The impressive 12-minute display had all the young Padawans in the neighborhood stunned.
Those who got to see the display say it looked so realistic.
Fitzpatrick started making the displays about two years ago after getting inspired by a trip to Disney. Some of his other shows included "Nightmare Before Christmas," "Beetlejuice" and "The Grinch."
"The neighbors love it. That's honestly the best part," says Fitzpatrick. "They come out. They'll watch it. They watch it from their houses. They take their kids out to see it."
The show is located on Norfolk Lane and runs through Sunday night from 8:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.
