After hearing mixed reviews, I wasn't so sure about this. Nickolas said he would like to watch. I told him that he may not get picked since they tend to look for the smaller kids. He was one of the first picked, and got to go on stage with the "Jedi Master."

He was part of the group that got to battle Darth Vader. He had a blast, and it was really fun to watch. Here are a few pics:

The CM's involved in this have much to be proud of. The kids really enjoyed it. What impressed the heck out of me was watching the interaction with a young, autistic boy. Before this young man, Darth Maul was full of energy and completly in character. When it came to this boy's turn fighting him, he was very tender as they battled. It was something, that as a mom, teared me up watching.

On a funny side note, Dsnylndmom, who is also from Bakersfield, was there at that same time, with her youngest on stage a few spots away from Nick.
