One-Man Star Wars Trilogy Returns to Chicago
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."
He shoots himself first.
So when is George Lucas releasing the special edition?
...When he sprouts ears, talks in backwards logic, and shrinks about 3 feet, then call me.
Mercy was given to me by Christ...I must give the same to others.
This is not the East or the West Side!
.... another dark Jedi
No it's not.
This is not the North or the South Side!
No it's not.
It's the DARK SIDE.....
THAT IS CORRECT.
What is thy bidding my master?
It's the disaster Skywalker we're after
But if he could be turned to the dark side
Yes, he's be a powerful ally
HE WILL JOIN US OR DIE
we got DEATH STAR, we got DEATH STAR, we got DEATH STAR, and ya know that we got it, DEATH STAR.....

I hope it's better than C3-PO sitting in the ewok treehouse. It was way short, but he did get the sound effects right on.

His One-Man LotR is brilliant. He performs all three movies in an hour, and by the end of it he's exhausted and dripping wet.
He's a local boy, too, having graduated from the University of Victoria. Frankly, a local boy getting big-time acting attention in the outside world is more newswothy, IMHO, than the fact that he's playing Chicago. He played Vancouver four times the other month. Why wasn't that a front-page headline?

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.

so if he is his own father, then how did he....
oh, yuck!
This sig contains repetition and redundancy.
And I'm sure the show would be fun... but that web site made my eyes bleed.
In the Return of the Jedi part, does he play Sebastian Shaw or Hayden Christensen?
I think the idea is No Jar-Jar Christmas Special is a great holiday idea.

"sweet dreams are made of this..."
Assume I was drunk when I posted this.
I my first year Chem lectures, the prof would sometimes try to wake the class up with little videos or flash animations that somewhat pertained to the material at hand.
So, on the projection screen in an auditorium with ~400 sleepy students, out blares "IT'S NOT THE NORTH OR THE SOUTH SIDE!" "NO IT'S NOT!" It was priceless, and the entire class couldn't stop laughing at it until the end of the lecture.
Sadly that, and the fact that David Hasselhoff is popular in Germany, are the only things I remember from that course. (And yes, Hasselhoff was on the exam... )
Size matters not.
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.
Comments should be like skirts. Short enough to keep your attention, but long enough to cover the subject
