Stormtrooper Photographers

^Lady walked up to one of the stormtroopers and asked him if he knew how to work her camera.

Last night I attended the Star Wars in Concert show with my father. There is a live symphony orchestra and chorus that plays original scores from all six Star Wars movies while special edits of the film are played on a large screen with lights and lasers. Anthony Daniels (C3PO himself) hosted the event. He was a very charasmatic and well spoken individual. Plus it was C-freakin-3PO!

I had a blast and want to thank my dad for taking me to this event. Star Wars has been in my life for a long time. My earliest memories was playing lightsabers in the basement while playing the movies on my uncle's tv. I also remember seeing Return of the Jedi in the theatre back in 1983, which meant I was only 7 years old!

Now I'm tempted to go into the basement and break out all the toys from their blue bins....

^The stage is set for the concert. I don't have shots during the concert as I was asked to take my camera back to the car (it was too professional for them).

^I have always loved & appreciated artwork. Here are some original concept drawings from the recent movies.

^Yup, we are buddies.

^Some of the coolest props for me was the relics from the original films.

^Yoda life-sized scupltere.

^Some of the coolest characters from the Star Wars universe are the Imperial Guard.

^Would love to have Han sitting in my living room...
