I remember a bit on the SciFi channel in the early 90's about this, but the show sadly never made it to the states. (Or anywhere outside of Japan?)

The camera work isn't the greatest, and the angle gives away a few stage tricks too.

Unless there's ever an official recording released, or they revive it in Vegas, this glimpse may be all we ever get!

Here are all the individual links in case you want to skip to the good stuff. ;)

Part 1: Willow (Was it a big hit in Japan?)

Part 2: More Willow...

Part 3: "Tucker: A Man and his Dream" dance number. There wasn't room for a Howard the Duck sequence I guess...

Part 4: Indiana Jones! (There's a long musical intermission when they get to Club Obi Wan where not a lot is going on except for an acrobat act...)

Part 5: The action finally starts, and Anything Goes! The Indy set pieces here are pretty impressive.

Part 6: End of Indy, then into American Graffiti. (What, no THX 1138 dance number?)

Part 7: End of AG, the finally some Star Wars!

Part 8: I don't recall strippers in the Cantina scene before. Darn you, George!

Part 9: Luke and Vader battle it out, with a twist ending!

Where were you in '77?

That proves that David Prowse did pay an important role in making Vader the man we remember.

Hooray for long necked mini Vuvuzilla and Shrek the barman!

wow, they should totally revamp this for a U.S. tour or Vegas show... That looked like so much fun! And I like the idea of using familiar characters & situations but telling a unique story that's loosely based on the universe(s).

And watching the IJ segments was a blast. It reminded me of my trip to Japan not too long ago where we went to Tokyo Disney Sea. My absolute favorite ride was the Indiana Jones ride, but it cracked us up the whole time b/c it was a Japanese talking Indy!
