One-Man Star Wars Trilogy Returns to Chicago

Posted by samzenpus on from the does-lucas-know dept.

FrostyWheaton writes "The One-Man Star Wars Trilogy has returned to Chicago and is playing at the Apollo Theater through February 14th. I was at this show last time it was in Chicago (old Slashdot story) and it was even better this time around. The Apollo theater is much larger than the previous venue providing four times the seating and stage space elminitating the cramped feeling the show had last year. The show has not changed a great deal, but it is slightly expanded, including a few jabs at the latest Star Wars re-working."

  1. I saw this when it came through Vancouver BC by theantix · · Score: 3, Informative

    It was perhaps the most incredible live show I have ever seen... my friends and I didn't stop laughing our guts out for the hour and a half (or so) it took him to go through the original trilogy. It's not just the imitations that he does well, he also goes through the motions and to see him hopping and jumping and crashing to the floor... it's quite an experience. Seriously, if this is coming to your home town you should check it out.

    Forgot to mention: he's a stand-up guy. When he did his One-Man LotR in Victoria during the local Fringe Festival, he added a couple of shows due to the demand and then donated half of the gross (that's gross, not net) of every one of his performances during the festival to AIDS Vancouver Island.

    Really, really cool.

    Pretty slow right now (or maybe it's just my network), but you can see what this is from here (click on 'watch film'). One of the funniest things I've seen in a long time.

    He even gets crucial lines wrong ("Shutdown all the garbage smashers on the detention level"? oh come on)

    Um, that is the actual line.

    That video is at least a few years old. The show has improved a great deal since then.

    I was actually impressed by most of his voices. His Yoda was the only one that could be considered weak.
