Watch this special on Saturday, October 17 at 9 p.m. on WLIW Channel 21. Preview here: http://www.wliw.org/whatsup/previews/star-wars-in-concert/75/
The new broadcast special Star Wars in Concert offers a behind-the-scenes look at the multimedia world tour Star Wars™: in Concert, featuring music from all six of John Williams’s epic Star Wars scores performed live by a full symphony orchestra and choir. The concert is accompanied by specially edited footage from all six films displayed on a three-story-tall, high-definition LED super-screen – one of the largest ever put on tour. Narrated live by Anthony Daniels (the actor who portrayed C-3PO), the live music and film elements are synchronized in order to create a full multimedia, one-of-a-kind Star Wars experience. The tour also marks the debut of the new Yoda – previewed in the broadcast special Saturday, October 17 at 9 p.m., which features rehearsal and performance footage from the multimedia event’s world premiere at the O2 Arena in London on April 10 and 11, 2009.
