Friday night we took Luke to "Star Wars in Concert". We had a great time. Just me, Jake and Luke. Luke was in awe at everything around him. It was such an experience. There were all sorts of memorabilia from the movies to look at in the foyer. Authentic movie weapons, costumes, original sheet music by John Williams. It was really neat. There were also actors walking around in character. It was a memorable night with our little Star Wars fanatic.
The orchestra was so amazing. You found yourself getting wrapped up in the clips from the movies and forgetting the music was live! It was wonderful. There were specials effects, lasers, smoke, fire, the works. Anthony Daniels (the actor who plays C-3PO in the movies) narrated the production. Luke looked at Jake during intermission and said, "BEST CONCERT EVER!"
The largest LED screen on tour.
Father and Son! Showing off our souvenirs, new T-shirts.
Luke was fascinated because they were playing all sorts of Star Wars sound effects before the show.
Surrender! People kept thinking Luke was so adorable. Most of the other little kids around were at least 7 or 8. Then there was little Luke. I forget how young he is, especially to be such a fan.
"You know of the rebellion against the Empire?" Rebel trooper and Rebel X-wing pilots.
"Boba Fett?! Boba Fett?!"
"Arise, Lord Vadar."
Dad and Luke getting blown up on the Trade Federation spaceship. Sorry for all of you not as familiar with the Star Wars universe as we are. In our house, it is a mandatory education. NO ONE knows more about Star Wars than Luke...well for sure no other 4 year old in the world.
Man we look alike! My sweet little boy!
Daddy and Luke. People kept smiling as they saw Luke and Jake playing lightsabers in the courtyard while we were waiting to get in. Luke is so lucky to have such a fun Daddy.
We let him wear his Darth Vadar costume. There were a BUNCH of people dressed up. Most of them kids...some who were what you would call
avid fans (that is putting it mildly :). It was an interesting collection of attendees.

Super cute! Looked like so much fun-after looking at the pictures, I won't lie...I'm a tad jealous, I should have gotten tickets because I'm huge fan too!
I bet Luke (and Jake) loved that!! I am so jealous! I miss Luke so much, he is so funny. I'm glad I got to spend so much time with him over the Summer. Can't wait to see you guys again!
You guys are such cool parents. I am sure that the tickets were not cheap but a what a neat experience for Luke. He is such a lucky boy!!
I wanted to post on this sooner but I was too overwhelmed my first time through this post. I still don't know what to say. This is SO cute. I can just imagine Luke being the tiniest person there who knows every detail of Star Wars. I bet his face was just lit up the whole time. What a fun experience for him and also for you. I love getting to watch my kids experience something exciting - especially something they are passionate about.
That kid is so smart! I am so glad you guys went to this - What a treat!
