I'm not sure I'd want to play doubles with lightsabers.

I see your Jedi badminton and raise you flying robot ping-pong.

Hey those flying robots are impressive - check this video for more details. I don't know why, but the shot of the four robots taking off around 1:20 gives me an instinctive signal to run for cover.

When those become commonplace we'll officially be living in the future.

Just in terms of the badminton, that was a hell of a point.

I'm not sure either, but I smile every time I watch it.

I half expected the out-of-bounds shot to meander its way back onto the court. Obviously these are young jedis unschooled in more advanced use of the force.
