I groaned when I first saw this article but if you read it, it sounds like it could be quite good. It`s basically a 2 hour cut down Star Wars hexology with the Royal Philharmonic performing specially rewritten music by John Williams with excerpts of the film being shown and a narrator.

You`d have though th London Symphony Orchestra would have played seeming as they did the orginals

That sounds extremely similar to the exclusive DVD that was included with the OST to Episode III, entitled "Star Wars: A Musical Journey".

I absolutely love that disc - it sounds wonderful with its 5.1 soundtrack, and you just get all the fight and action scenes cut to the music.

Much better than sitting through all the cardboard acting of the later trilogy! :p

And if John Williams was still alive
Is he not still alive?

I`d use the Brazil Defence at this point, kebab: `Well, I, er, heard two versions`.

Somewhere in the bowels of Cloud City

Vader Sings:

Luke Luke do not puke
Old Ben Kenobi didn`t tell the truth
If your parentage makes you feel bad
I could also be Princess Leia`s dad




I consider myself an optimist, albeit an optimist with cynical tendencies and a dark side that Lucifer himself would find a little creepy. (Perhaps you've noticed.) You don't normally associate cynicism with an upbeat pov. But I have exactly that combination and will defend it.

When fishermen catch dolphin-friendly tuna, how do they know which tuna are being friendly to dolphins?
