    I had the honor of being able to design and preform this choreography for my school.
    if you're interested in the details/Process on how this came to be, definitely check out my review video where I go in-depth about it :

    That was so un-believably cool. I bet those kids not only had a blast doing that, but they and everyone else will have that memory for the rest of their lives. The choreography was on point, the stunts preformed by the own actors were dope, the saber form was of course dope, the music great, costumes on point, everything. I am so bummed my school didn’t do something like this because my Senior theme is actually Disney StarWars!!! They could have done something like this and I graduate in 2 days, so if I only had more time, I could have pulled this off with the principal and done this with some friends and willing participants. Well, we don’t always get what we want. But that video gave me the chills ❤

      Thank you! We had a month to choreograph everything. The student council at my school asked if we'd be willing to do something with our lightsabers for a prep rally. We were a bit skeptical at the time but we practiced several times a week when everyone was free. I worked on mixing the audio that is being heard. They told us to keep it under 3 minutes. I actually had just finished my first neopixel saber a few months prior to this assembly so I was extremely excited to test it out here. I was very excited and nervous with the cheering and the lights going out. I was a senior at the time and felt like an absolute rock star.

    I wish stuff like this could happen, but I live in a pretty old fashioned area that that thinks that football is the Pinnacle of intense epicness.

      In my high school, I think the students there mostly cared about rap and reggaeton music and dating and vaping. I don’t think many people in my high school would’ve cared about something like this.

    How long did you have to prepare for this?? I swear most people will never realize how wizard that was.

    The choreography is cool, but I like the little bit of story telling they had here. Look at how the Sith execute each other as opposed to how Jedi do it. There’s also the fact that the Jedi went to check on his companion while the Sith executed his. That’s attention to detail

      Much appreciated! Glad to see someone pick up the small details

    I remember my High School back in Michigan did a fencing demonstration at a school assembly. A lightsaber demo would be so cool if it were performed at my school.

    Better choreograph work than Disney has put out in their resent films 🤣 makes me a little sad but also appreciate the drive and hard work put in to the older films

    Damn. Wish my high school allowed this. I actually presented the idea to the principal and she just said "it would be a waste of time for an assembly" even tho I requested it to be on the last day of school. Even found 5 others willing to do it with me.
    Happy I graduated but man this would have been nice.
