Jedi Training Academy

A five year old boy's dreams come true...

Are you kidding me with this Jedi Academy at Disneyland? It is the coolest thing! In Fantasyland there is a daily show where kids from the audience can be chosen to go through "Jedi Training" with Master Windu (for Star Wars nerds he's a BIG deal). The kids are given capes, light sabers, and war-fare class. Mid-way through the training the infamous Darth Vader music starts playing and out comes Darth Vader ready to battle each child on stage. Eli was chosen for the show & his expressions throughout the show were so sincere. It was real to him & you could tell he was truly saving the galaxy from the "Dark Side". We will never forget it. Master Windu (In the movie he cuts the head off Jango Fett... remember Jango Fett... the name Eli gave as his own during his first week in Kindergarten)
Eli, saving us all from Vadar...
Deep, deep in thought...
Check this out! I was the ultimate beamin' Mama.

This is up there with a day out with Thomas. He'll never forget it. That is the BEST picture of him!! His "I'm contemplating" face is classic.

You should post a copy of his "Darth Vader battle" in his new Star Wars room.
