starwars-in-concert-c3poKicking off on October 1st at the Honda Center in Anaheim, CA, “Star Wars: In Concert” begins its worldwide tour.  Of course, this is no ordinary concert, this multi-media presentation will include:

  • exclusive exhibit of Star Wars costumes, props, artifacts, production artwork, and behind the scenes videos from LucasFilm Archives.

George Lucas explains the key to this multi-media experience:

“We’ve taken the key themes from the music and cut together all the images that fit with each theme, so you can really get a sense of how the music played into the images.  The whole soundtrack is a testament to John Williams’ creativity and his extraordinary ability to enhance the emotional aspects of the films.”

starwarsinconcert-yodaThe man behind the music for Star Wars, John Williams, comments on his part in the Star Wars phenomenon and concert event:

“Creating the music for the Star Wars films has been an exciting and wonderful experience for me, and I therefore have derived particular pleasure in assembling a compendium of themes from all of the films to be presented in Star Wars: In Concert.  The editors at Lucasfilm have created original film montages to accompany each of the musical selections, and in the process, I believe that a singular and unique Star Wars experience has been born.”

Another Planet Touring Producer, Spencer Churchill, outlines how the concert is presented:

“This event has been crafted to present Star Wars from many points of view; for the first time, the full dramatic sweep of Williams’ iconic scores can be heard performed live in one evening.  The show is a new way of experiencing the epic scope of the saga.”

Amongst the exhibit are these gems:

  • Full costumes for Jedi Masters Kit Fisto and Plo Koon
  • For the first time ever, pages from John Williams’ original hand-written sheet music for Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace will be exhibited for the public.
  • Also on display will be various never-before-seen props from the films, including blasters and helmets from Coruscant, Tatooine and other iconic Star Wars locations.
