	Heard about this on Radio 2 this morning and it's also on BBC website: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7779011.stm Star Wars fans are to feel the force of the seminal sci-fi films and their iconic soundtracks on stage in a major new show, which will launch next year. In Star Wars: A Musical Journey, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra will play a live score as excerpts from the six films are shown on a cinema screen. The show has been put together by director George Lucas' company Lucasfilm and composer John Williams. It will premiere at the O2 arena in London in April before a European tour. It will not be a traditional musical with actors playing characters from the films, but will feature live narrators. The six Star Wars films have been edited down to two hours for the show, and Williams has "painstakingly rewritten" the music he wrote for the movies, a statement said. The Royal Philharmonic will use an 86-piece orchestra and an accompanying exhibition will feature original models, props, costumes and production artwork. David Campbell, chief executive of AEG Europe, which runs the O2, said: "Star Wars holds memories for practically everyone. "John Williams is THE composer of our times, and fans will be thrilled to know that both he and Lucasfilm have contributed fully to this new production. "To have the premiere at the O2 is a real coup for us, and I know there will be a lot of very happy Star Wars fans out there when they hear the news." The show will open at the O2 on 10 April. Tickets, costing between £30 and £100, will go on sale on Monday. Depending on the ticket price/availability, I might be tempted! -----signature----- Put that thing away or you're gonna get us all killed!

	Nice one, Coz. What did you manage to get and how long are you thinking of staying? If you're looking for accommodation, the Travel Lodge London Docklands isn't badly priced and I've reserved a room there (along with other peeps). I'm trying to have a look for tickets too, but the Ticketmaster site is taking forever. There will be folks from Rebel Legion coming to this too, so I'd imagine we could hook up for a bit of a social at some point, but we can look into that at a later date. -----signature----- Put that thing away or you're gonna get us all killed!

I've booked two tickets for me and the boyf (in the cheap seats) and we're staying the Fri and Sat night. Train tickets for April prob won't be avilable until mid-Jan. -----signature----- Put that thing away or you're gonna get us all killed!

Tim's going too, but he may just be doing his own thing when not at the show. If you want to hang around with us, PM me your mobile no and I'll keep you updated with what we're doing/where we are, or come and catch us before the show. ...and Jase, there's nothing wrong with Radio 2, you cheeky -----signature----- Put that thing away or you're gonna get us all killed!

	I would advise people to check out the TFL website for planned station/line closures on the Tube, as it may affect how you get around London: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/modalpages/2625.aspx There are closures on the Northern Line (affecting Kings X) and on some of the more central lines this weekend! Darthsmuse- hope you enjoy the show and if you see Boushh and an X Wing pilot in the foyer, say hello! -----signature----- Put that thing away or you're gonna get us all killed!
