Star Wars in Concert

Posted on by

A few months ago, I griped about the fact that Star Wars in Concert wasn’t coming any closer to Indiana than Oklahoma. Well, the Jedi Council (or some other high-powerd decision makers. Maybe the Imperial Senate.) heard my plea and scheduled a performance in Indianapolis last night.

Of course, I was thrilled.

I don’t really know why. I didn’t have the money to buy a ticket. So I did what any red-blooded American would do. I left not-so-subtle hints about my desire to go to the concert on my facebook status. It was all in fun. I didn’t really think anyone would take me up on my offer to let them buy me a ticket.

Well, Christmas (and my birthday…and maybe next Christmas..) came early this year when my brother handed me an invitation to go to see yesterday’s performance. I guess you could call it payback for the time I took him to see the Lord of the Rings exhibit as a Christmas present a few years ago. But this was much, much cooler. And you could take pictures at this one – something you couldn’t do at the Lord of the Rings.

As we drove down to the concert, I secretly hoped I’d meet Chewbacca again.

I did.

Kinda.

And I also hung out with Boba Fett. Kevin took the picture on his camera, so I have to wait until he gets on the ball and sends it to me. I guess I can’t complain, though. He did buy my ticket, after all. That probably earns him a little slack, huh?

Here’s a bunch of pictures in no particular order…

Props and Costumes

Yeah, he's a pretty good brother (just don't tell him. It might go to his head). That's Darth Vader in the background, by the way.
Most of my friends hate the Ewoks. I think they rock.
Many of my friends don't like the Ewoks. I disagree. They're pretty cool.

Darth Vader (lower right) was taking a picture of the Emperor (upper left). I couldn't take the picture fast enough, but I thought it was a great setup.

"Oh. They've encased him in carbonite..."

"Yoda! YOU seek Yoda!...Take you to him I will."

I don't know what Princess Leia is talking about. I never thought he looked like a big walking carpet.

Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith

"I believe they think I'm some sort of god."

I thought they didn't allow guns in Conseco Fieldhouse. I'm guessing a Stormtrooper can carry one wherever he wants.

"Aren't you a little short for a Stormtrooper?"

They walked right by me. My Jedi mind trick must've worked.
