We received 4 tickets to see Star Wars In Concert from my parents, and so we decided to take our 3 year old to see this Orchestra Concert with the THX Star Wars movies playing in the background to the music. He absolutely loves Star Wars, and is going to be a Clone War Storm Trooper (I think that is what it is called!). So we dressed him in costume and off we went to the show. (Poor 3 year old has never even been to the movie theater!)
I searched online before we went to see more about the concert, and found the Star Wars In Concert, website. But, I wanted more info. So, after going to the concert myself, I will tell you what I wish I would have known.
Before the movie, we walked around to see the actual costumes behind glass from the actual movie sets. We saw Darth Vader, Ewoks, The Senator, Yoda, and more. We also saw Storm Troopers walking around, and the Jaw Wa’s too. Tip.. the hallways were filled with people taking pictures etc.. before the show, so if you have a young child that does not mind missing parts of the show, then that is the best time to take pictures!
First, C3PO’s actor was the narrator. There was the live orchestra playing with different scenes to the Star Wars Trilogy in the back ground. They played the music and the movie scenes had commentary in them from the actual movie. In between music and such, the narrator would make comments, and then there would be special scenes that included the characters. For instance, Princess Leia, Luke Sky Walker, Anakin and Yoda. Of course there was more, but I would not call myself knowledgeable in this area.
We did not get to stay for the whole thing, somebody got a little to wiggly! So we left, the whole thing was probably around 2 hours. I totally loved it, and had a great time, even if I have not even seen all the movies! My 14 year old really enjoyed it as well, and said if I find some deals on the movies to make sure to buy them!
