The sound was fantastic! They really kicked it during the "Imperial Death March" (awesome) and the choir was amazing on "Duel of the Fates." It was fascinating to watch how well timed everything was, because they played a film montage for each song, and in several cases there were bits of dialogue that they kept in, so the symphony had to be spot-on syncing with the video.

Yoda's expression would totally put the fear into you. I wouldn't want to tangle with him.

My pleasure! It was an amazing night. It was especially fun to see how many kids came in costume and brought their own lightsabers. ;)

It was so much fun: thirty years fell away and I was seven again. ;) There was a little child a few rows ahead of us - I mean a baby - dressed as Yoda, ears and all. So funny!

Great shot of Han in carbonite, there. I would have been tempted to melt that sucker and take him home, lol.

LOL! Seriously! :)

Yes, Anthony Daniel's there in the flesh, and he's fantastic. He's clearly having a great time with it. There were times he had everyone laughing out loud, and other times he had to pause while we broke out in applause. It's put together very well, and with the exhibit that goes along with it (the doors open an hour and a half before the concert so you have time to see the props), it makes for a terrific evening. I hope you get to see the Nashville show!

Thanks so much! I had a great time.

I think, for some reason, they've deleted the older dates from the website. I believe it started in the west and moved east; I know my sister saw it weeks ago, and that date's no longer up on the website. :( I hope they add additional performances; it sounds like Oklahoma City and Houston were packed, and Charlotte's arena definitely seemed to be full, from what I saw.

Oh, it would be so lovely to see John Williams conducting!

It really was a well designed show; the clips, the special effects (enhancing rather than detracting from the music), Anthony Daniels' clever parts in between each song, etc. Plus, there's something special about hearing the best music from all six films while being surrounded by fellow fans (many of whom are in costume and/or carrying their own lightsabers *g*). It was a nice touch that they had the exhibit travelling with it, too. All of the pieces were supposed to be original props (many away from Skywalker Ranch for the first time), so I assume Han in carbonite was the genuine article. It was by far the best piece there. For just a moment, I was Princess Leia in disguise, sneaking around Jabba's pleasure palace... ;)

LOL! (And ouch!)

It was fantastic. We had a great time! There's something special about being in a group of fans (in this case, an arena full) and experiencing something like that, all together at the same moment. The energy was remarkable.

Squeee! This is SO exciting. I just finished teaching it in my Gothic course, so it's been especially on my mind lately. I's so excited - thank you so much! And I'm thrilled you're glad you read it, too. That makes my day.

Thanks again!

ROFLOL! That's brilliant.

(Although he still owes us for Jar-Jar....)
