I am very new to the boards and am looking for help on finding a few people to "fight" with costumes and light sabers and such for my friends party. My friend is a HUGE fan--unfortunately, I don't know much about the films. I am located in PA. Any ideas?

Comic book stores would be great place to start looking. Find the biggest on in your area, give them a call and tell them what you want- from my experience they'll know who has costumes, sabers, etc. Good Luck!

This is one of the most bizarre topics I've seen, but in a good way

I don't know where you could find actors who could perform a good sword fight... Perhaps at a stuntmen school? I think they would ask for a lot of money, it's not like hiring a clown...

I like your signature picture, Ric.

You've probably heard that in the extended DVD edition of ROTS, Palpatine and Anakin do a tap dance in the theatre in Coruscant, to flesh out their friendship and give Anakin more character.

hmmm, if i could get some people from my Kendo class to go along with it I might 'rent out' my body (that sounds so wrong)

but i only have those Hasbro sabers, Obi-Wan, Vader, Luke, and Maul's
and if you looking for full costume that may be hard, but I have Kendo gear we can use our shanai and actually spare

-Darth Simon
Why Anakin really turned to the dark side:
"Anakin, You're father I am" - Yoda
"No. No. That's not true! That's impossible!" - Anakin

Darth Simon I think "hire" would be a better word.

Well, he IS the Dark Lord of the Dance...

Hmmm....maybe we can finally revive that Darth Vader musical. Only this time, we'd be reviving Riverdance as well. Star Wars and Riverdance.....at least it would be better than Light Magic. ^_^

There's this SW fan film that spoofs The Aprentice which features a tap dancing musical number with Darth Vader and stormtroopers.
