Yesterday we looked at a young princess meeting her contemporaries for the first time. Today, we watch a young boy transform from a Padawan into a Jedi. (If you don’t get the end of that sentence, I’m sorry. The rest won’t make sense either. Read about it here, catch up, and come back. )
He found it hard to contain his excitement as we traversed mighty distances to accomplish our goal.
He thought long and hard about how he was going to get there.
Oh, and he had ice cream too.
Finally, with his intrepid assistant in tow, he came to the foot of the…er…well, it’s an AT-AT. Jeez, watch a movie people!
There were droids there to assist him on his journey as well.
And some fish-headed things. (Yes, I know they are called Mon Calamari. I’m fully geeked out here.)
(Fake) guns blazing, he couldn’t wait to get in to see his objective.
First in line, he used the Force to open the doors for everyone.
–INSERT PAUSE–
OK, here is where I stop and tell you that I couldn’t take pictures of the inside of the ride. Why? Because they say no flash photography on the ride. They even had a video of someone flashing a camera in a Wookiee‘s face, and he seemed none too pleased by it. Seeing as how I’m partial to retaining my arms, I figured I would toe the company line.
–END PAUSE–
We finished our trip to Endor and went out into the gift shop giant sucking sound of my wallet exit area, where both he and his assistant were transformed into fearsome bounty hunters.
It was a good day.
This will be what we look like August 15th when the new Star Wars movie hits the theater. It’s fun having a boy who loves Star Wars, at least for me.
