Star Wars Trilogy MIT Musical

ArtieLange writes "The MIT Musical Theatre Group will be staging a musical version of the Star Wars Trilogy (Eps. IV through VI). There will be tap-dancing stormtroopers, singing Ewoks, etc." Apparently tickets are available if you're in the Boston area over the next week. Hopefully someone has the decency to stealth a digital camera in and post torrents before the premiere so it can be just like the features. There's no way it can be the worst Star Wars related thing out there (currently a tie between the Christmas Special and Episode I) even tho the music credits list Elton John and Andrew Loyd Webber along side John Williams.

    "Star Wars" with tap-dancing Storm Troopers!

    This is just so wrong on so many levels. Then again now that I think about it, maybe adding tap dancing storm troopers to episode one would have improved it. My childhood destroyed you have!

    This "event" has the destructive potential of 10 Megdorks. (The first GenCon had an effect of 8.5 Megadorks) - Only a Linucon or a Furvert convention is deadlier.

    Both girls tentatively scheduled to attend refused comment.

    Forget about Han or Greedo, it will be the audience that shoots first.

    The Elton John Star Wars Trilogy:

    A New Hope
    I Guess That's Why They Call it the Blues -- Luke can't go to the academy
    I am Your Robot -- Luke cleaning R2
    My father's gun -- Luke gets a lightsaber
    Honkey Cat -- Luke and Obi Wan enter Mos Eisley Cantina
    Madman Across the Water -- Millenium Falcon escape from Tatooine
    Bad Side of the Moon -- "That's not a moon, it's a space station!"
    Sacrifice -- Obi Wan fights Vader on the Death Star
    Burn down the mission -- Preparing to attack the Death Star
    Take me to the Pilot -- Dogfights preceeding Death Star attack
    The Bitch is Back -- Han Solo saves the day

    Empire Strikes Back
    Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me -- Luke, Stranded
    Someone Saved my Life Tonight -- Han saves Luke
    I'm Still Standing -- Tauntaun dies
    Love Lies Bleeding -- Scruffy Nerf Herder
    Saturday Night's Allright -- Hoth Battle
    Rocket Man -- Boba Fett
    Goodbye Yellow Brick Road -- Luke leaves Dagobah
    Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word -- Lando hands them over to Vader

    Return of the Jedi
    Tiny Dancer -- Jabba's palace entertainment
    Someone Saved my Life Tonight -- Leia releases Han Solo
    Rocket Man -- Boba Fett gets eaten
    Goodbye Yellow Brick Road -- Yoda dies
    Burn down the mission -- Preparing to attack the Death Star (again)
    Bennie and the Jets -- Ewoks preparing their catch for dinner
    Son of your Father -- Emperor tries to turn Luke
    Shoot Down the Moon -- That thing's operational!
    The Bitch is Back -- Lando vs. the Deathstar
    Candle in the Wind -- Unmasked Vader (sorry, I had to...)

    eh.. that's all I can come up with, nothing he put out in the 90's is worth playing.. Clearly there's some more scenes that need representation, perhaps "I don't want to go on with you like that" could go with the scene where Luke argues with Vader on CLoud City.. no.. nevermind, I'm done now!
