Great to hear, lol of course makes sense cause I can't come this year

[Qui-Kel Jinn]

Really Really Wish You Could Be There My Friend.......WE Should Get Together Online And Find A Way To Work On Some Stuff Together!!! Maybe One Day I Can Get You To The Saber Idol Finals!!!

[Ky-Wan Zann]

That would be outstanding old friend, I am hoping next con were at we can find some space and do some stuff.

[Ky-Wan Zann]

So how'd it go?

[Kryy Jacobi]

Oh, they were all great! Hope someone will put up some video.

The fellow who did the best did one saber, then two sabers, and then held the two together (no connector) and did the Darth Maul deal.

He WOWed everyone including the judges.

Then the kids competed... one little blond cherub was dressed as Anakin and he was only a few inches taller than the saber and was terrific! (They used the UltraSabers stunt sabers.... very lightweight... surprisingly so.)

But Jarren Landcaster's son won for the kids... he was a natural, and I'm sure it was from constant practice with his dad.

I do hope someone will put up some video... HINT HINT!

I am very sad I didn't get ot see it, I do however hold hope that I may attend next year to view
