I got a message yesterday from Lucasfilm regarding the Tokyo Dance Trooper video...

And the good news is that they loved it! Apparently the video is doing the rounds at Lucasfilm and they told me that they blogged it at the official Star Wars blog.
I couldn't contain my happiness. Then I thought "hang on..." and checked out Starwars.com to discover that I was on the top page (still there for now). At that moment I blacked out from excitement ^^;

Below: According to Technorati, the Dance Trooper vid was the second most blogged about video in the world (yesterday) ^^;
Below: My moment of fame ^^; Wonder if Mr Lucas himself has seen the video yet.
Below: Sneak preview of Dance Vader Episode I. This time we dragged people off the streets of Harajuku to dance with us.
Below: Behind the scenes of Dance Vader. Hector and I getting geared up - Photos and video by my wife ^^;
300 yen for 25 mins of parking is petty - the norm in Tokyo is 300 yen for 30 mins.

Excellent work Danny! You have to be proud of it, even though you had to put up with such a stressful process Re-making your Suit. BTW my 3 year old LOVE your video (me too) these few days when I get back from work & fire up the computer, he'll drop whatever he is doing and run to me saying "Papa, white trooper dance, white trooper dance pleese." He had to watch it Atleast 3 times. I tried showing him some starwars scene, he didn't really like it. But he love your 'scene'. So there you go! Your youngest fan???
