Star Wars Identities 2016
6 August 2016 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
Back in 2015 we were part of the supporting program for Star Wars Identities with lightsaber workshops and shows, the unique exhibition with lots of props, models, costumes and concept art from the beloved star saga. After a short detour to Vienna, the exhibition is in Germany one last time – after Cologne, this time in Munich.
Weeks before the date, all twelve workshops were fully booked, and we expected a busy day. But after the first hour it was already clear that the day would be a special one, because suddenly we had more older fans as participants than usual. Normally our young Jedi tend to be between six and twelve years old. Since the organizers had given us plenty of space, we were able to practice footwork and small tricks with the participants in addition to the five standard strikes, and they were visibly having fun.
We were particularly happy about the visit of 14-year-old Johanna, who had last seen our show at Legoland and surprised us with a drawing of the Jedi and Knights of Ren from our current program. Being drawn is a new experience for us too. Just like Johanna, several other visitors stayed longer than just one workshop to keep talking with us about lightsabers.
Some other visitors surprised us too, for example Torben, who had traveled all the way from near Hamburg to meet us. It's great to see how our enthusiasm for lightsabers spreads to others like this, and we hope to meet as many of you as possible at the next events!
Another of our guests was Georg Panczak, the German voice of Luke Skywalker and a good friend of the team, who also took part in the workshops. Who else can claim to have taught Darth Vader's son how to handle a lightsaber?
So we let the evening wind down comfortably in a Bavarian beer garden together with our helpers and Georg, ready for the next events!
