I heard about the launch of the Star Wars Musical tour this morning. It will be a concert version of “Star Wars” with a live symphony orchestra, huge screens, fim clips and a traveling exhibit. Lucas is quoted as saying,

“We’ve taken the key themes from the music and cut together all the images that fit with each theme, so you can really get a sense of how the music played into the images.”

Wow - he has landed already!

Japan has had a licensed Star Wars Fan Club as far back as 1983.

Japan has a huge Star Wars Fan base – take a look at the girls in the photo above – It is a great capture by top5withabullet But there is plenty more cool Star Wars on the streets of Tokyo!

… after all the Dance Trooper is already hugely popular on the streets here – the musical tour will further contribute to the ongoing Star Wars craze in Japan!

Many people already know Danny Choo from these videos on You Tube. Here is a great video capture of him as the dancing stormtrooper in Tokyo.

Another shot of the dancing stormtrooper without the face gear, meeting up with fellow J-Blogger Shibuya246. Nice one guys!

Did you know that George Lucas revealed that he was influenced by Akira Kurosawa’s work in his production of Star Wars?
