Jedi Training Academy

[tikistitch]

Just got back from seeing Pirrrrates. As our buddy Greg said, it was long. And odd. Working on our Dizzyland Flickr photo set. Jedi Training Academy is like the cutest thing ever in the entire galaxy.





This is at the Tomorrowland Terrace. First, they pick some likely padawans from the audience, and all the little kids are totally like, "Oooo, pick me! Pick meeee!" They get real Jedi robes, and some training with their high tech plastic lightsabers from a Mace Windu lookalike.



And THEN this naughty person shows up to spoil the fun.



So, they duel! Really! A three-foot tall padawan vs. some guy in a full Darth Vader outfit. It's so cute, you just wanna die. We were so excited, we had to tell Mr. Tikistitch all about it.

"The Jedi robes? Do they get to keep them? Did you ask any of them if they would sell them?"

Er, we don't think they get to keep the robes.

"What about the lightsabers? Are they Master Replicas?"

Um, they look kinda plastic to us.

We bought a Jedi Training Academy box meal. And brought him the cardboard box. And, he was a happy Mr. Tiki.

I so have to take my niece and nephew now.

The kiddies were *so* excited!

Awww, adorable!

Also, holy crap, I don't think I'd ever trust a little kid with a Master Replica. What a thing to suggest! (We are a little heartbroken that they're giving up the Star Wars license, especially given that our trading buddy at Master Replicas still hasn't sent us our loot.)

We heard from both sides of the "divorce" at the con. Seems like LFL used a loophole in the contract to demand renegotiation, and then, as they've done before, wanted a ton more money.

Seemed like there's a small possibility both sides are just playing chicken right now. But I dunno. Mr. Tiki scored a couple of cool prototypes in their auction, so he's happy.

OMG ... I can't believe Mr. Tiki has so 'officially' photographed & categorized the kids' meal I saw while waiting for them to catch the cow for my hamburger.

we just went to SWW at MGM studios in disneyworld. it was nice (although we agree that last years was less crowded and far more star wars-y)....but we DID get interviewed for star wars.com - so here's hoping they used it!
