But this isn\u2019t just a story about competition or fandoms, it\u2019s about the power of shared passions to bring people together. At its heart, SABER is a film about connection. It\u2019s about a group of people who might never have crossed paths, finding friendship, support, and a sense of belonging through the iconic lightsaber. In a world that often feels divided, SABER is a reminder that community can be found in the most unexpected places and that sometimes, the family you choose is the one that saves you. ---------- Website: http:\/\/bamageeks.com Become a Bama Geeks supporter: http:\/\/www.bamageeks.com\/join Available on Apple Podcasts (iTunes), Amazon, Spotify, and YouTube.
