Star Wars
Parties
How would you like a fully armored stormtrooper and an
Imperial R2 droid to come to your house?
TK830 and R2-Q5 are ready and
willing!
This show is pretty much the
same as the
Magic Show - but it is presented with a Star
Wars theme. Instead of magic,
it is a demonstration of Imperial Techniques and the use of the
Force. But definitely visit that page to read about the show
as that is essentially the show you'll be seeing - and just as in
that show, it still ends with the birthday
child being levitated!
(Each picture links to a larger picture with a description)
TK830 and TK1025 at Planet Hollywood
In this show, R2-Q5 will stand on display
at your house. He can't move around, but his head turns and lights up, and he
talks.
This is all under remote control. TK830 will give a recruitment speech for
the Empire, and talk about the current war
against the Rebels. Questions will be taken, and then he will give a demonstration of Imperial
techniques
and the use of the Force
in a forty-five minute magic show.
It is R2-Q5 instead of R2-D2
for two reasons.
First, an Imperial droid goes with the Imperial costume.
Secondly, R2-D2 won't be ready
for a while yet - but he's coming!
Following are pictures from
this show, done for private parties.
I've done this show for everything from very small parties like this
to large gatherings of a hundred people.
The following pictures are from
a show at a public library.
These are from another library
show.

I'm slightly out of
armor, but that's me with Don Bies
at a Lucasfilm event. Don Bies
built and operated R2-D2
for Lucasfilm in the prequel trilogy. |
R2-Q5 with Kenny
Baker, who was inside the droid
for many shots in all six Star Wars
movies.
R2-Q5 was also on display for Kenny Baker for a time. |
I don't do this any more, but for one
special event we pulled R2-Q5's dome off, a volunteer looked in and pulled out
SIX rabbits!
(They were borrowed rabbits, that's why I don't do this more often. But it
was a lot of fun to do once!)
This was a party I did a few
years ago. They had Deathstar style walls custom built for the
entranceway.
We put in a bit of fog, and the laser-sights on our blasters really
looked fantastic.
One last thing ... this link
has nothing to do with my show, but if you are looking here you
might really like it.

It's a paper R2 that you can cut out and assemble
that is really cool. It just makes a wonderful
project for you and your child to do together.
