experiencing Star Wars in concert

Took Junior to the O2 in Dublin on Sunday night for a pre-siblings treat - www.starwarsinconcert.com .

It was a pretty impressive, if expensive experience. A full orchestra (the Royal Philharmonic to be precise), choir, narration by Anthony Daniels (C3PO) and choice sequences from all six movies made for a real event.

But rewatching the video of the beginning of the evening I realised what it was I would be happy to pay *big* money for. In the style of all those bands of the last few years reforming and playing their seminal albums track by track I would really like to see the original movie (that's number 4 to my son) from beginning to end with the orchestra and choir.

Now that would be worth watching. Not convinced? Take a look at the short clip below and hear the audience's reaction.
