E! Online is reporting (http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b74477_Cue_the_Ewoks___lt_i_gt_Star_Wars_lt__i_gt_ _Hits_the_Stage.html) "Star Wars: A Musical Journey" is heading onto the stage in London.

George Lucas (http://www.eonline.com/celebrities/profile/index.jsp?uuid=7dfbd9b0-70d2-41dc-aca5-314684d537de) has signed off on Star Wars: A Musical Journey, a two-hour live musical event featuring a Stormtrooper kick line and singing Wookiees John Williams' Oscar-winning score.

Premiering next year in London's O2 arena, the production will be performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in sync with movie clips from the six live-action films. The show will play in chronological order, from The Phantom Menace to Return of the Jedi.

The production will blast off April 10 in the U.K. and then embark on a European tour, complete with an exhibition of rare Star Wars collectibles including never-before-seen models, props, costumes and production artwork. No word when it will visit America.

Sounds like they're just doing a live version of the dvd that came with the Episode III soundtrack. Now that I think of it, I'm fairly certain that dvd was titled Star Wars: A Musical Journey.

ah yeah, I forgot about this. Someone told me about it last night in the Pub, I thought they were just drunk lol..

hmm, being a Star Wars fan I could see myself going to this lol, I mean, George Lucas cant make Star Wars any worse can he?

George Lucas isn't content to rape his baby on the big screen and the little screen...now he's taking it to the stage. I'm beyond caring anymore though.

Images of Spielberg and Lucas farking that storm trooper in south park come to mind.

Stormtrooper kickline! Granted, this obviously has a sense o humour about it, but will this new one?
