At the appointed time, they take the kids in and give them a cloak and a light saber. I wish they could have kept these, but alas, they had to be returned at the end.
They get the kids cloaked and ready.
Then they spread them out across the stage and teach them some basic moves. They have 3 moves they teach and have them practice. Some kids do better than others! The "Trainers" do a bit of acting as well.
Then Darth Vader comes out ...and his evil sidekick!
They need the Jedi cadets to help fight them off!
They get the kids into two lines and one by one they get to battle Darth Vader or his sidekick. If the kids do their three moves, it makes a pretty good mock battle.
This was the first kid in line. He was awesome. He was crying and traumatized, but when the coaching Jedi said "Up to the right!" he put his lightsaber up to the right. He cried the whole way through, but by golly, he did it! I loved him. But look at his face!
Delaney was in the back, but eventually made it to the front. She was not as entertaining as the kids who really got into it, but she wasn't crying either!
She managed to get most of the moves down.
She was cute.
And I think had fun. She said he was really scary though.
And they finally fought them off.
It took the combined effort of the trainers, the cadets and the audience, all using the Force, to push Darth Vader out of the arena.
But then this guy showed up, trying to seed fear and doubt into one of the trainers, who nearly succumbs. But then she finds her strength and fights him off.
And all the kids are safe. And the universe is saved.
