Driving through Dignowity Park this holiday season, San Antonians might feel the Force.

A home in the neighborhood, which sits on the outskirts of downtown, has been decked out in more than 15,000 lights for Christmas, attracting national attention.

With a Star Wars theme, the home's exterior dances to and fro with a timed display, created by Living Light Shows.

The San Antonio pair responsible for the show don't live in the home. Matt Johnson and his wife facilitated the light show after she spotted the Dignowity Park house while running a half marathon.

She thought it was the perfect location for an over-the-top holiday light show, and after getting the homeowner's permission, the pair got to work.

Now it stands with thousands of colorful lights flickering every night for bystanders looking for a show.

Johnson said neighbors and bystanders are more interested in an elaborate light display these days than a simple one.

"Many commercial venues just keep displaying their tired old static light displays year after year and think adding more lights makes them better, but people are bored of that," he said.

The display will run every night between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. until New Year's.
