On Saturday, the Rebel Forces spent all of their time with the Jedi Masters David, Kris, and Jennifer for hands on training in dismantling Storm Trooper armor with their light sabers (offensive responses on the AC) as well as deflecting oncoming barrages of Imperial fire by skillfully wielding said sabers with the aid of the Force (deconstructing their opponents' offense). The padawans learned that when in battle, retreat is only an option to reallocate X-wings to more vulnerable areas in the Imperial Fleet (perhaps to where the pilots had forgotten to mount extra plating on their tie-fighters). Later on in the evening, padawans Fianah McMillan and Patrick Humes got into a disagreement as to whether on balance, in its trade agreements, the US ought to value workers' welfare in developing nations over its economic gains. Padawan Fianah affirmed the statement in front of the other rebels, while padawan Humes publicly disagreed. The crowd of eager young rebels gathered around the fight to watch, while Jedi Masters Kris, Jen, and Yoda (David) interrupted the sparring periodically to correct their stances or grip on their light sabers. They took the two padawans pitched in battle through the various stages of attack, making sure that they knew how to parry, thrust and yes, even compound-riposte. Exhausted, the rebels retired to their quarters with an assignment to examine and tweak their weapons as necessary. The next day, they will be released to other Jedi Masters who will hone their specific skills as necessary. The Imperial Army is a formidable opponent. Rest is for the weak.
