Saberproject: Clone Wars Adventures – Day 3
16 August 2008 @ 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
Saturday, Aug 16, 2008 * Rhein Ruhr Zentrum – Schnitzelhuber – Broken blade
We started Saturday with breakfast in shifts before getting into Tim's and Alex‘ cars to drive back to the cinema.
Andre was waiting for us again, and together we set up the booth once more. Once that was done, we rehearsed our choreographies again and also just fought freestyle.
At around 14:30 we had put on our costumes and walked through the Rhein-Ruhr-Zentrum. We took photos at Schnitzelhuber, where we wanted to eat later on.
Then we went back to the cinema, where we could stay in costume, since the next show was at 15:30. We got through it without any major mistakes and, with the job done, returned to our booth.
After changing following the 17:15 show, only Alex and Lukas were still wearing their costumes. As Vader and his Secret Apprentice, they went with the others to Schnitzelhuber, where Alex once again became the target of the cameras. Then both went back to the cinema to change for dinner.
The world's biggest schnitzel was a superlative not only in quantity, but also in quality!
It tasted wonderful, and when it comes to sauce there's something for every taste, you can choose between different flavors! The staff are open to special requests regarding how the schnitzels are shared (the seven of us shared two schnitzels, everyone got a plate, cutlery etc. and cut off pieces from the schnitzel in the middle).
After our meal we returned to the booth in the cinema, happy and refreshed, and awaited the next visitors. Once again sabers were lent out, tested, explained and demonstrated, questions were answered and jokes were cracked. We prepared for the 20:15 show and went over our moves in our heads once more. While Jan took his place at the projector, we got into position in the theater. When the music started, Tim and Eddy faced off, as they already had twice that day. After Eddy's death, Tim defeated Markus again with Lukas' help. The fight went without any major mistakes, and this time, unlike in the 17:15 show, the LED in Lukas' saber didn't give up during the fight. When Tim had once again been coldly struck down by Lord Vader, we left the theater to applause.
When the film was over, the expected rush came out of the theaters again. Visitors asked questions, tested sabers and entered the giveaway. But there wasn't much time for that. We had to throw on our costumes one last time that day, because our performance was scheduled for 22:45. Tim defeated Eddy with his usual confidence. Tim, Lukas and Markus faced each other with great self-confidence. But after a few blows, what nobody had hoped for and yet everyone had feared happened. After an ugly crack, one blade of Markus' double-bladed lightsaber broke. But the three had an emergency plan, drawn up the week before when the whole choreography had been rehearsed. After some minor coordination difficulties and the transformation of those involved into Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Count Dooku, Tim and Lukas attacked Markus again with determination. But Lukas was too impulsive, and a well-aimed blow from Markus struck him down. Tim attacked Markus with powerful blows that he couldn't withstand, and in the end he fell to Tim's blade after all. Despite this mishap, Tim and Alex kept their nerve, and after Vader had once again defeated Tim, we left the theater exhausted.
After taking off our costumes, we packed up the booth and headed home shortly afterwards.
