Disney really does think of everything. Their attention to the most minute details, and their immersive interaction with kids really make the parks they run quite amazing.
So everyone that reads this blog is probably pretty aware that Ian is a huge Star Wars fan. Disneyland has a ride here called Star Tours, which Ian loved. Disney also ran a show of sorts called the Jedi Training Academy. That is where the video comes in.
They got about 20 kids out of the audience (much less than half of how many showed up, all chosen at random). Ian just so happened to get picked, much to mine and Catherine's immense relief. Mace Windu (sp?) did all the picking. All the chosen kids go up to the front where they are given their Jedi robes and lightsabers. They then go through some lightsaber training, when all of a sudden Darth Vader and Darth Maul show up and tempt all the young Jedi to turn to the dark side. They all say "no", of course. So then they all have to individually fight either Vader or Maul. Ian got in the Maul line, so that is who he got to fight.
Ian did a great job with his fight. All the training at home really paid off ; )
If you get a chance to speak to Ian, be sure to congratulate him on becoming a real Jedi! Cheers,
Marc
