Star Wars is an all-time favorite. One of the biggest franchises, it is packed with a great storyline, amazing world-building, relatable characters, and covers exceptionally the universal theme of good vs. evil. Since the 70s, it is a big part of pop culture. From lightsabers to Darth Vader, people can't get enough of its many films, series, comics, and games.
Probably the most influential main film of the saga is Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. The movie came out in 1980 and was a blockbuster hit. Its charged action, well-written script, groundbreaking special effects, and cliffhanger ending made it the best in the film series. As Brian Lowry of CNN puts it, the "groundwork laid by one of the best sequels ever wouldn't be the force that it is now." Considered by critics as one of the greatest films ever made, it aged like fine wine and continues to be heralded as a masterpiece. If you are an avid movie watcher, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back should be on your bucket list.
The Force lives on as Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back In Concert revives the classic's powerful storytelling with an orchestra. It is going to be a spectacular watch to the all-time favorite. You will experience why the movie won the Academy Award for Best Sound, Grammy Awards for Best Instrumental Composition, and Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media.
Behind the score is the spectacular John Williams. He is behind the iconic "Force Theme" and "Princess Leia's Theme" of the Star Wars saga. For the sequel, he worked with the London Symphony to bring out the music. He crafted music with care, and his compositions for the first movie were a huge success. His creativity brought forth compositions like "Yoda's Theme," "The Imperial March (Darth Vader's Theme)," "Han Solo and the Princess," "The Duel," and "Lando's Palace." All of these are the highlights of Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back and added an exquisite musicality to it. It will be great to hear these tracks performed live.
The Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back In Concert will take you to the Star Wars universe at the Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium on January 11, next year. May the Force be with you!
