StarWars.com has an interview this week with Mark Renfrow, Show Director/Writer of the Jedi Training Academy at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Since 1977, fans have dreamed of visiting a galaxy far, far away and learning the ways of the Jedi. Many have gone to extreme lengths, from building their own lightsabers, costumes, and robes to creating their own “character” and back-story, but none have come close to true Force powers… And those are just the adults. What about the children? How can they learn to be real Jedi?
Kids are great at using their imaginations which is the heart of the Star Wars universe. But sometimes you really want your fantasy to become reality. So what better place than Disney World?
Jedi Training Academy is an interactive experience that began as a part of Walt Disney World’s Star Wars Weekends. It’s part show, part experience and in the tradition of Disney, magical.
Can I go there now, pleeeeeeeeze? I’ve been good all week, I swear.
I’m traveling on business this week, in Northern California, just about 6 hours’ drive from Anaheim. There are Disneyland brochures in the lobby, tempting me, taunting me. No fair.

Here’s the plan.
MouseFest 2008.
We get Lou Mongello to distract the Jedi Trainers and we bound onto the stage…steal the lightsabers and take on Vader. We can do it like Obi-Wan and Anakin when they face Count Dooku! Let’s go in slow….
