I saw The Empire Strikes Back last year. Sadly these concerts are not for me. It was all of the worst elements of seeing a movie in a bad venue (concert halls don’t compete with an actual cinema) and hearing the score with people talking over it played by an orchestra that wasn’t as good as the LSO.

If it was actually the score being performed without sound effects or dialogue in its entirety then that would be something.

Also at the end of the movie when the credits rolled people got up and walked out like at a regular movie. What the heck did you pay $50 and up for?!?

Oh, and since it was the Special Edition it means that when you get to “Take me to my star destroyer” the music edits get truly terrible.

I’ll save my money for a proper concert next time.
