So I have a really fun job normally, I am a manager at amusement park, and my dept is responsible for Special Events.
In September we’re showing the OG Star Wars outside on our island amphitheater and I get to create an entire day of Star Wars themed fun.
I’ve reached out to some friends in The 501st and a local saber training academy for some visual candy, and I’ve partnered with our firework vendor to create a Star Wars Themed show that will begin just as Chewie growls after not receiving his medal.
It’s not often that I get to combine work and my love of Star Wars(I don’t work at a Disney park so we have to keep the Star Wars contained to our shopping and retail downtown district) so I’m stoked to be able to do some cool things with my real passion and get paid to do it, while spending someone else’s money.
That’s a win win win.

That is all kinds of awesome! I'm definitely saving this thread in case you post up some awesome pictures of the event in September.

The Star fields aligned for this one for sure. I’m gonna get to dress up like a Jedi and get paid for it. Does that make me a professional Jedi? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Actually, MTV did it first, in 1997.....it was their annual Movie Awards, they gave it as a "Lifetime Achievement" award. The cool part was, Carrie Fisher gave the medal, and it was Peter Mayhew in the suit. As for your Star Wars event....you lucky duck. REMEMBER TO TAKE PICTURES TO SHOW US!

The reschedule date has arrived! This Saturday, we will be airing Episode IV at the resort amusement park I work at. 501st is confirmed, saber sparring demo is confirmed, I will be in full Jedi regalia, now pray with me that we have no rain!
If the weather holds I will post pics after the event.
