Charlotte Symphony Orchestra Charlotte Concert reviews
Same strengths and weaknesses as movies
The fantastic music in the great setting made the movie clips mostly great. The second act meant more to me than the first as I am more of a fan of the original three movies. Act two covered Episodes 4-6 with Act one covering Episodes 1-3. There were a couple of jarring moments when clips from 4-6 were mixed in with 1-3. Overall, it was very satisfying. The segment with Leia missed an obvious set-up with Han Solo. It had the clip of Leia saying "I love you" and Han responding "I know," but didn't have the reverse dialogue. In fact, the clip where the latter happened was shown BEFORE the original with just the music. You could lip read the lines. The laser lights were actually distracting at one point late in the second act, and they didn't do a segment on Han Solo. But besides that and one or two other minor misses, it was a great show. it was well worth it for both movie and music fans. I heartily recommend it for all audiences.
