THE ROYAL THEATER, MINISTRY OF EVENTS APRIL 2014
The three main actors had been looking forward to presenting the ultimate performance: Star Wars.
They had prepared a spectacular stage show with advanced choreography and convincing fights. The set designer had set a whole team of carpenters to build the Death Star. The costumes had been sewn in Eastern Europe. Laser lights and a particularly effective sound system were purchased for staggering sums. But then George Lucas said no.
Despite the extensive and thoroughly professional preparatory work, the Ministry of Events has been banned from doing the Star Wars performance due to rights issues and has had to send all lightsabers back to China and destroy everything that had anything to do with the planned performance.
What remains are the three actors who should have played the main roles in the theatrical scoop of the century. They refuse to leave the stage and insist on telling about the performance they are not allowed to do.
In the performance This is not the Star Wars trilogy, the three perfectly cast actors lead the audience through an absolutely fantastic performance that is not there.
To George Lucas: No direct quotes from Star Wars will be used, nor will any of the effects intended for the original setup be used.
