Upcoming Star Wars a-pogo
Posted by Mark Lore on Tue, Aug 25, 2009 at 12:46 PM
Since George Lucas has gone all Grand Moff Tarkin on the franchise (Remember? Tarkin was the Imperial commander played by the late Peter Cushing who had Princess Leia's home planet of Alderaan destroyed in Episode IV as a way of demonstrating the power of the fully operational Death Star) there has got to be another way to squeeze a few more hard-earned peggats from... we'll call them Star Wars Aficionados.
Star Wars: In Concert will bring John Williams' famous score to arenas across the galaxy... err, the country, including right here in Portland. The spectacle will not only include a live orchestra, but scenes from all six movies will be strung together on giant screens while Sir 3PO himself (he's our only hope) Anthony Daniels will narrate live. Sounds great, but I was hoping for something more along these lines.
The Force will be with the Rose Garden on October 14th—which means I'd better... I mean... those interested should get in line now.
