A Review of Star Wars: In Concert


Move over Star Wars Weekends, there is an even better Star Wars experience and it only 3 hours long! Star Wars: In Concert is hands down the best Star Wars experience I have ever been to. The concert tells the full story of the saga, from Anakin's humble beginnings to his eventual fall and redemption. Narrated by Sir Anthony Daniels, who is live on stage, the familiar voice of C3PO tells the story just like you would imagine the protocol droid would. He gushes over his character and the female characters Padme and Leia. When he begins talking about Anakin's fall from grace, tears are in his eyes (that is acting!).

The concert is not just the goosebumps inducing music and video clips, it is also a traveling museum. Props and costumes from all the movies can be seen. Children and adults can take pictures against set backgrounds. Han Solo is seen in still frozen in Carbonite and Yoda is seen in an attack stance complete with lightsaber in hand. Concept drawings are on display as well as the paper where the original score was written on.

Finally, the concert is where generations gather to celebrate Star Wars. Young and old were clapping together for their favorite characters and scenes. There was no division of the classes, there were just people who love the movies, some in costumes, some dressed to the nines, some in jeans and Star Wars t-shirts and the rest of us with a combination of Jedi Robes and semi-formal wear. If the concert comes to your town, by all means, go and see it!

May the Force be with you

Deathly Hallows Filming



Art source

A lucky, lucky fan posted a report from the set of HP 7: DEATHLY HALLOWS, specifically the wedding of Bill and Fleur.

The report, which can be seen here, details Fleur's wedding dress (it has phoenixes on it!), Bill's scar, an earless George, some mandatory Ron jealousy, set photos and more.

Enjoy!

Let the Theme Park Merchandising COMMENCE!

The first signs of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure (phew! mouthful) have been popping up all year. Visitors now are catching "snowcapped" glimpses of Hogwarts Castle and Hogsmeade. And apparently, the stores in the park are starting to load up, too. Ah, the Christmas ornaments that will be had...



We here at Twiwizardjedi, theme park lovers all, are psyched. A field trip is afoot, folks. A field trip is afoot.

Meet Me On The Equinox

Took me FOREVER to find a link that would play the new Death Cab for Cutie song featured in New Moon.

Apparently it's not available for viewing in the US. Go figure! Anyways, I happened to see Death Cab in concert and they were freaking awesome. This video has relatively the same footage with some new stuff crammed in there. Check it out. I hope you like it as much as i do.
