Think you have what it takes to achieve the rank of Jedi Knight?
Show us your stuff with a lightsaber, in three separate Jedi Trials at Celebration 4.
In the Jedi Order, the Jedi Trials are challenges which are undertaken by Padawans to earn the title of Jedi Knight. These tests are very often retaken by those Jedi Knights who aspire to earn the rank of Jedi Master, and a seat on the Jedi Council.
The Trials were formal tests that were administered by the Jedi Council on any Padawan that they deemed to be worthy. The Padawan was tested by the Jedi Masters themselves in a controlled setting.
Now, for the very first time, the Council at Master Replicas has opened up the trials for all aspiring Jedi Knights (or, should they choose the path to the Dark Side – Sith Lords) to come and show their skills with a lightsaber at Celebration 4 in May!
There will be three separate competitions, and Padawans may enter any one, two or all three. Padawans/Apprentices please see the rules and regulations for each, to determine your eligibility.
FORCE FX BATTLE EXTREME
Designed to demonstrate both teamwork and lightsaber dueling skills, the Battle Extreme will include one-on-one combats, one-on-two or more, and team-against-team mock battles.
FORCE FX MASTER EXHIBITION
Designed for the Master Swordsman, the idea is to demonstrate discipline, grace, and a flare for the dynamic and dramatic!
FORCE FX FREESTYLE CHALLENGE
This is the “Rap Battle” of lightsabers – the entrant will show their expertise in a solo demonstration, pitted against another soloist.
Please visit http://masterreplicas.com/combat_trials for official rules and regulations, and to enroll in the Force FX Combat Trials today!

Awesome, can't wait to see the competiion.
I had an awesome and a bit stressful time putting the commercial together for you Amy, but it was SOOOOOO worth it to be a part of this.
For those that want to know. Amy called me up on last Wednesday and told me that she needed some video of some saber tricks and the first person she thought of was me. So I set up, taped, edited and finalized that video within 9 hours and then sent it to Amy.
I have to send out a Special Thanks to my girl Trang who came over to see me and unwittingly became my dueling assistant for the Force FX Battle Extreme section of the video. Thanks girl!
-
Amy that is going to be so cool to see. I'm sure the turn out will be mind boggeling. I only wish I could be there. :'(

Hello AMY
Thanks for getting that posted here and to you Anakin forgetting that together so quickly.
Anakin and I will be there doing our Luke v/s Vader Duel for the Battle Extreme. 8)
and I think Anakin should enter the Master Exhibition and show us all those spins 1-20 in under 4 minutes ;D
This will be a Day to remember 8)

Thank you Yoda and Anakin for all of your help with the videos! We really, really appreciate it!
-
Oh and AMY
Since Anakin and I will be doing the Luke v/s Vader from Empire Strikes back.
Shall I just send you a copy of Empire Strikes back for my Video submission :D :D :D :D
Well this just makes waiting for C4 even harder :-X
I'm sure it will be an absoloute blast for all involved 8)
This will be interesting to see if we can get a "theme" to run in the middle of the competition...
Such as having certain duels performed in order if we have submissions for them ;)
Since Danakin and Obidan will most likely be there doing their Anakin v/s Obiwan ROTS
Anakin and I will be doing Luke v/s Vader... ESB
We need the other duels from EP4 and EP6 to complete the original trilogy Duels.
Maybe I can get Jedi Luke from the 501st to come in and Chop off Vader Hand after Vader chops off mine :D
Now just for filling the EP1 and 2 spots :D
-
As always... you are very, very Welcome 8)
Can't wait to Party with You and the rest of the MR crew again ;D
-
I am looking forward to it as well.
I also forgot to put in my original post that the winners will receive a very cool trophy and a $500 MR Gift Certificate as well!! ;D
As always... you are very, very Welcome 8)
Can't wait to Party with You and the rest of the MR crew again ;D
-
That's right ;)
The Trophies will be for the Title of Jedi Masters and the Gift certificate for 500 :o
well that says it all right there 8)...
I see this kicking off great things for the future of Saber Competitions and Dueling 8)
I'll be in touch with you about our reservations etc... as it gets closer to "showtime" ;D

Oh and AMY WHO WILL BE THE JUDGES?
Make sure Travis or Keith get some one with a GOOD broadcast quality camera
to capture this whole competition and be able to use it in commercials and on the website etc...
It will have numerous uses as you can see :)
-
Thanks Yoda. We have it all under control. There will probably be different judges each day and we are not ready to announce them as of yet.

Very Cool I'm sure it will be a 1st class production 8)
I'll be going about rallying the Jedi and Sith who I think could add some routines to the competition :)
The Stage is 15x20 feet so that should be just enough room for some one with a double.
I see the Routines must be 2 Minutes.
Since Anakin and I are Doing the Luke v/s Vader shall I condense it for the show and make an extended version
for the Party on Sunday?

-
Excellent! That's an awesome news!!!!;)
Great vid Master Bandit Jedi too!;)
Amy, do you plan to do this only for US celebration, or during europe celebration too???
Thanks.
-
Man this is so awesome, I was going to start a video but then I read the part where you have to physically be in LA to enter the competition not just having a video. I can't do since that's the competition falls under the same two days as my black belt promotion ceremony, All well I just have to wait until the next anniversary comes around :( Still I do want to see the vids anyways one is already posted at youtube besides the commerical. Great Job MR and I hope everything turns out great. :)

I can't wait to see that Master Yoda :D

I cant wait for this, and it helped me make up my mind as to go or not. Now I just need a stock FX.
-
Hey Equinox, any idea when the site will be up again? The trials sound like so much fun....
-
Make sure to get some good camera footage for those who cannot attend! ;D
-
I really would like to see thses vids when they are finished...... ;D
-
they could probably get Ray Park to be a judge since he likes the fans so much plus him being an expert an all would fit in nicely. They could also get Nic Gillard to judge too.

I totall hear you on this :D :D :D
I actually saved a new Vader ESB and Luke ESB just to use for C4 for our Luke v/s Vader Duel

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Everyone,
It appears there were a couple of mistakes in our information about this event at C4 so I wanted to let you know.
First of all, it says that you have to use your own FX lightsaber. What should have been said was you have to use it in your entry video but not the actual competition. Master Replicas will be supplying the Fxs for you to use in the actual competition.
The other mistake was the dates of the tournament were wrong. The days are listed correctly, Saturday and Sunday, but the dates are May 26th and Mary 27th.

Hey there Amy that is great news!
All this time I was preparing to trash a perfectly good NEW Luke ESB for the show :D
Will there be any of the new Luke's and Vaders to use ;) ;)

A Quick update here...
the trials will be at the party, which means at night and so the Costumes won't get so hot to wear ;)
here is the message over on MR's forum
Dear Force FX Combat Trials Combatant-
Thank you once again for entering the Force FX Combat Trials
competition and for your patience as we compile a comprehensive
schedule of events for Celebration IV. After much deliberation and
discussion, we have some good news and we some bad news regarding the
Force FX Combat Trials.
First, the bad news ? due to unforeseen complications and events
beyond our control, the Force FX Combat Trials will not be taking
place at the Los Angeles Convention Center during Celebration IV.
And now, the good news ? the Force FX Combat Trials will be taking
place at the Master Replicas Collectors Society/VIP Party on the
evening of Sunday, May 27th at the Jim Henson Studios. This means
that all entrants (plus one guest) are now invited to attend the
exclusive Master Replicas party, where they will be able to perform
their routines for their Padawan peers!! And, as originally planned,
celebrity judges ? provided by our friends at Official Pix ? will be
on hand at the party to score your performance!!
The Party will take place from 7:30 - 10:30 pm on Sunday, May 27th at
The Jim Henson Studios
1416 North La Brea Avenue
Hollywood, CA 90028
We sincerely apologize for this scheduling change ? as noted before,
the switch is due to events beyond our control. However, we are
pleased to be able to invite all contestants (and their guests) into
our very exclusive party, for this unique opportunity!!
Please bear in mind, the Master Replicas Celebration IV party is SOLD
OUT, and so we cannot accomodate any additional guests beyond each
contestant and their plus one!!
Of course, if you are not able to attend the party, we regret that you
will not be able to participate in the Combat Trials. As a special
thanks for entering ? and as a consolation for not being able to
perform ? Master Replicas will be sending you a special gift in the
next few weeks. Please notify Master Replicas (at
combattrials@masterreplicas.com) as to whether you will be able to
attend on or before 12 noon PST on Friday, May 18th. If we do not hear
from you by this time, we will assume that you will not be attending
the party.
Thanks again for your interest the Force FX Combat Trials, and we look
forward to seeing you in Los Angeles!!
Sincerely,
The Master Replicas Force FX Combat Trials Council

Wish I could go boys and girls but media work keeps me away.

Ya, but Count dooku, I thought that the invitations were for US MR CS members only. I assume you are CS like myself (Being Canucks from ON), but I remember reading that invitations were only sent out to US customers only. Maybe I am incorrect.....
