Could I get help building a contraption to ride in this years parade?Yes. We will cirtainly help you build it. You purchase the materials after the design is done. As long as our group is satisfied that it meets the rules and criteria layed out by Chewbacchus. Creating a safe and dependable parade vehicle requires time, so if you plan on doing this instead of marching in the parade, we need to start on it ASAP. For instance, the custom contraption seen on this website took Jedi Ice 6 months to design & build. It cost him about $600. But He created it from 1/8 " Aluminum square tubing which is very strong, but expensive. The electric 36V drive system cost arounf $275 including the batteries. You could easily create yours out of wood and spare parts, and eliminate the electric drive for super cheap. Just find 2 old mountain bikes to scavenge parts from and your in business.

Do i need to buy a Lightsaber to march with New Orleans Jedi?Buy one? NO Carry one while marching with our group in the Parade? YES. Early on when we were deciding how we wanted to look as a group on the parade route, we agreed that those of us who marched, would be ahead of the contraptions and all carry Lightsabers. Consider it an important part of a Jedi outfit, and should always be carried while we march in the Chewbacchus Parade. You do not need to buy one to march with us. You can borrow one or even make one. But it should light up and look as authentic to the Star Wars movies as possible. Painted Plastic or PVC hilts are fine for this purpose. Ask one of our expert prop makers to help out with that, but please dont wait till the las t minute. These custom made Lightsabers by Jedi Ice are the Top of the Line models we make.
