Last week (16 September), agency Imagination used over 60 lights weighing 124kg each to shoot a 200m ray of light from the roof of the tower, replicating the iconic weapon from the films.

Imagination senior lighting designer Jonny Milmer said "We accessed the roof through a small hatch so we were restricted with the type of equipment we could use. We went to the limit of what we could do to maximize the effect. It proves that with a resourceful, imaginative team you can achieve anything."

At the launch party in the tower, Anthony Daniels who played C-3PO in the Star Wars films pressed a button to light up the London skyline.
