(Orlando Sentinel) – Walt Disney World is testing a new Jedi Academy training attraction mixing face characters and young visitors outdoors at Disney-MGM Studios. On select days, several times a day, ac-tors depicting Star Wars characters invite up to a dozen children to take part in Jedi training exercises in the Star Tours ride. With padawan robes and training light sabers, the children are taught moves and how to use "The Force." Actors playing Darth Vader or Darth Maul then enter the area and try to use the "Dark Side." Disney spokesman Gary Buchanan said the sidewalk attraction is being tested to see if it should be added daily and full time during the park's annual Star Wars weekends in May and June.
