Jedi Training

For McKay's birthday party we had a Jedi Training Party.  The first activity was a physical training with Yoda.  The kids had to haul Yoda around on their backs as they ran through the swamp, balanced on one foot, jumped and ducked over objects.

Young Jedi trainee Charlotte formed a particularly strong bond with Yoda (pictures to come at a later date).

Next came the light saber training.  Master Divad  instructed the younglings in the proper techniques and skills needed to wield a light saber.  When everyone was sufficiently proficient with their light sabers, they were prepared to go on their first galactic quest.  They followed clues around the galactic empire and brought important information about the empire back to Yoda.

 Yoda deemed them ready to face the empire and all of the newly trained Jedi were sent to destroy the Death Star.  In the end, the force was indeed with the Jedi, and the Death Star was destroyed and order was restored to the galaxy.

Even Master Divad joined in to help destroy the Death Star.
