This post is for all the Star Wars fans. If you are one, like myself (BTW, a die-hard fan) then you must go see the Star Wars Concert. You'll do yourself a grave disservice if you miss this wonderful event. Trust me! It's incredible! In case you didn't know, a live orchestra plays to carefully edited Star Wars clips. I absolutely loved it!
There were also amazing costumes on display as well as the actual miniature ships for all to see. What got my attention was some production clips from the actual making of the movie. It's truly amazing what technology can do within the realm of movie making. And all this from the mind of George Lucas. A true genius!
Perhaps more amazing is the longevity of Star Wars. There were kiddies there who anxiously awaited to take a picture with the Star Wars characters, especially Darth Vader. I was also glad that the kiddies were privy to a live symphony orchestra. There's truly something magical that happens when such beautiful music is made.
I can't write enough about the phenomenal Star Wars soundtrack. I played the flute for about 10 years, so that instrument is still near and dear to my heart and it can be prominently heard throughout the music. As a youngster, I had the sheet music and played the theme all the time. This concert brought certainly back such pleasant memories.
Once again, I definitely recommend this wonderful and amazing concert. The narration by Anthony Daniels, AKA C-3PO, really put one in the spirit of the evening. Do yourself a favor, go see it!
