A bit of fun, done in a tasteful way with some great music played excellently. If you're worried about the original trilogy being messed with you're about a decade too late :) Relax I saw it the other day.

Few props and they have edited all six films into two hours for the background. That's it. Sounds good. It’s an orchestra playing John Williams music.

I think it's an awesome idea to make a cartoon and musical of Star Wars. I recently became a fan and can't wait! Heck it's better then that crppy High School Musical! At least Star Wars has awesome music to translate into lyrics! What the heck are talking about! I think it’s an awesome idea to make a cartoon and musical of Star Wars.

It's a concert, basically. A tribute to the music of Star Wars and John Williams...the music we all know. No new songs and no singing wookies (the rumor mill went into overtime on this). There may be some incorporation of Star Wars video or props or staging (I'm just guessing here, because the original article doesn't even say that), but it shouldn't be unlike what you see at most concerts these days. So, no worries...yet. I'm sure all this hoopla will inspire someone to try to do a true musical based on Star Wars. It will probably be terrible (although, they're doing wonderful things with musicals nowadays, so I guess there's hope), but we'll have to go see it because it's Star Wars and there's still money to be made in that franchise. Um…

I read the original press release and it said that it would basically be a long concert of the London Philharmonic doing all Star Wars music, and that there would be accompanying clips. As far as I knew it was simply a live version of this (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0459164/) dvd.
