"One-Man Star Wars Trilogy"

I would so love to go to this.

Described as an "entertainingly nerdy show" in a Newsday review, the "One-Man Star Wars Trilogy" which opened this week is a fast-paced romp in which [Charles] Ross plays every character from Luke Skywalker to Princess Leia, R2D2 to Han Solo.

Ross insists he hasn't seen the films in full since around 1997 but as a teenager he used to get up early to watch them on videos day after day.

He wrote the show from memory and has been performing it for three years, starting at small venues and working his way up to a performance earlier this year for 3,500 people at a launch event for the latest "Star Wars" movie.

I actually saw him perform a bit of it on Jimmy Kimmel or somewhere. He nails all the parts, includes the best lines, but it's actually more sad than anything else. Take my word for it. ;>

You were not obsessed with Star Wars for...however many years that was...so of course you would think it's sad! :>
