Yoda-finitely Wan to Luke at This Solo Star Wars Show

The One-Man Star Wars Trilogy is a 75-minute play you'll be happy to Endor.

In A New Hope, C-3PO tells Luke Skywalker he's not very good at telling stories. Then in Return of the Jedi, his storytelling ability convinces the Ewoks to induct his crew into their tribe! (Now you know where M. Night Shyamalan got his idea for plot twists.) We don't speak Ewokese, but judging by the fuzzy natives' reactions, recapping the rebels' adventures with thrilling sound effects is a rewarding skill. Charlie Ross, who does speak the Ewoks' primitive dialect, is taking a cue from the golden protocol droid and recapping the original Star Wars trilogy all by himself in the inventively titled One-Man Star Wars Trilogy.

After viewing the movies hundreds of times, Ross can now quote them word-for-word, including the indigenous lexicons of Hutts, Wookiees and Rodians. Along with playing all the characters, Ross incorporates factoids, plenty of sound effects and even bits of John Williams' score. Check out his execution of Darth's reveal to Luke and the droids arriving at Jabba's Palace for a taste of what to expect.

The performances run from December 2nd to December 23rd at the Midtown Theatre. This Star Wars Christmas special fortunately won't include Bea Arthur or Jefferson Starship singing. If you're a Star Wars fan or an Endor moon inhabitant, we do believe you'll think Charlie Ross is some sort of god.
