I think I am going to see it when it comes to Phoenix in October.

Yeah, I've heard about this for awhile and read about it. Looks cool but it appears it's a pretty limited number of places and dates. Nothing remotely near me.

Yeah...wish it was coming to Texas. I'd love to go. Have fun guys.

Warner Bros. did something similar - Bugs Bunny on Broadway. All the classics on a huge screen and the Warner Bros Symphony playing live. In between were stories of the creators of Looney Tunes. It was a blast and the place was packed. So much fun.

OK, I'll give you a ring Sunday. See you there! :cheers

YEAH - it's coming to Michigan!!! Woo-hoo!

Just got back! Met up with Steve (Omra), great guy, and managed to spend $10 for a Sam Adams! The prop and costume pieces were so so. The 3-PO was a Don Post and the only good blaster was a rubber stunt from ROTJ. They had some original costumes, but it wasn't all that great. There were some 501st there that looked great, including the TALLEST stormtrooper Steve and I had ever seen!
So the show. WOW. They did a great job combing the visuals with the music. The first half was all music from the prequels, although throughout the performance they used clips from all 6 films. Then they had a 20min intermission. The second half was OT. They had a great laser light show. For me what stuck out the most was how much more heart and emotion the OT has vs. the prequels when seen in this format. I'll be interested if Steve felt the same way. The first half of the show was good, the second half was OUTSTANDING! I was almost moved to tears. :)
GO SEE THIS SHOW.
