Jedi Training Academy?

[PoohB]

I hope this isn't a stupid question but is this something that is only during Star Wars Weekends or is it at the Studios on a regular basis? My daughter just saw a video posted and has decided she must do that but we are not going till July 20. Thanks.

Last year my son participated and it was the week after the 4th of July.

It was there back in Feb. I remember b/c I leaned against the stage during the Stars and Motor Cars parade.

Historical info: The Jedi Training Academy *used* to be done only for Star Wars Weekends. But it proved so popular with the kids that they decided to make it a year-round event. Originally they just installed a temporary stage every year for SWW, but when the show became permanent, they built the "shield generator back entrance" stage for it.
