I work in such an awesome industry. We had the opportunity to go watch part of the filming of a movie that our friend Ben Shedd (he has an oscar ladies and gentlemen!!) was making for a young boy for Make a Wish Foundation. The whole premise behind the movie is an adaptation of Star Wars. They got permission from George Lucas and were offered the rights to some awesome songs. They closed down a few blocks down town for a big dancing scene, taught choreography for a while, and filmed with several handhelds and a crane.
The star of the show was Mitch, who was playing Luke Piewalker. He has spinal muscular atrophy, and did most of his scenes on a Segway. His dad played Darth Waiter, his mom played the Imperial Health Minister, Chewbacca became Stewbacka and storm troopers became Corn Troopers. It was very creative.

In this second picture you can see him in the middle in white on his Segway in front of the crane.
