I wish I could thank all of you personally, but obviously I can't. My 8 year old autistic son is Star Wars obsessed, and yesterday was the first time we've ever seen the characters live. Every single person, in character and in Garrison shirts, was wonderfully patient, polite and very accomodating for photos. You probably don't realise how much of an impact you have on children like mine, but you literally made his day. It was truly a dream come true, and something I could never give him. For you all to stay in costume, through the stifling heat, and still be dancing to the music and posing for endless photos, well you deserve a medal. I am even teary as i write this, because you gave us an experience Erich (and myself) will never forget. As hard as it is to be a parent to a child with difficulties, yesterday made it all worth it. I just cannot thank you all enough, from the bottom of my heart. You are all wonderul. We will be watching your FB site for future appearances from now on. Please pass on my thanks to all those in costume, and feel good knowing how much you meant to my little boy, not to mention the other thousands of children who attended. You are special people.
Warmest regards...Lisa XXX
