London, ON community involvement projects

I was talking to the Children's Museum and they are interested in working us into their program. So if your interested here are some things to discuss.


How to prsent SW as educational.
What can be used for props.(kids love to touch props)
How often it could be done.( once a month or 2 or 3 months and so on.)

 

I can help... possibly

 

I could help out on Mondays or Tuesdays....

 

i'm definitly up for that. let me know when these things will start

 

Good!
Now that there are four of us we can get this of the ground.

We just have to come up with how we want to present this.

-We could do a good vs evil. How Anakin wanted to make things better so much that he lost track of how much he was hurting and became a tool of evil.

-We could address that the troopers were not evil. They were just like our soldiers who defend our way of life. To bad that we do not have a trooper because we could get some one from the armforces with out a problem.

-We could explain the diferance between democracy and empire. I have a Emperor Paplatine costume.

 

ahhh, the classic Machiavellian character. How I wish this had come out when I was doing my OAC English project on "The Prince".

 

just a sugestion but you could do a section on how there is virtually no cultural segregation in sw

 

Good idea.

True to point, then the Emperor hated everything none human.

 

Ok, I've sent an e-mail to the London Jaycees for the Santa Claus parade & Holiday Tour.

 

WOW! that was fast. I go an e-mail back usually it cost $200 but they may be able to come up with a deal. I think that they just want to mix us in all over. Also they want some pics of us, so this Sunday we need to take some.



I think that I could get a tractor & flatbed. If there was enough of us and we went with the origanl 'A New Hope' theme we could pull off our own thing.

 

yeah that'd be cool. Just what kind of scene should we make if we do "a new hope" theme? Mos Eisley cantina?

 

Good Question.

I'm going to watch it again today and see if something jumps out, that is do able.

 

So would we all need to dress up as ANH characters? We already have Leia, Darth Vader and a stormtrooper...

 

Don't forget chewy.
Also, that's just an idea for the parade.

 

Yeah, I know. Not many female roles in ANH. Aunt Beru maybe, someone short(er than me) could dress up as a Jawa. I'd love to see someone dressed as the astronaut from the Mos Eisly cantina.

 

why don't we do a jedi vs sith theme? Have a yoda sitting in his chair with a Palpatine in another but back to back. This way everyone has a chance of being their own character without the need to spend more money on making a new costume.

 

well it may come down to just walking in the parade. I'll be contacting him again after this week end to sent pics and find out more.

 

I'm talking with the Childrens Hospital about going in and sauing hello to some kids.

I'm also looking into the women's centre.

 

that'd be cool to do. I know alot of the kids will get a kick out of seeing vader.

 

Oh yeah, they'll start crying.

 

true, some may think he's the one who'll take away their lives.

 

yeah, just by pinching 2 fingers to gether.

 

I think we need some good guys to go. Darth Vader and a Storm Trooper is cool, but neither of them can talk well with helmets on.

 

I'll be able to go as long as I get plenty of warning time.

 

Oh good you can explain to the kids what a dark Jedi is.
