This was an excellent concert; the kids really enjoyed it and found the music 'spectacular'! My girls are big Star Wars fans and were amazed that they got to see Anthony Daniels, actor for C3PO, live! The venue was excellent too- first time at the Harbor Yard Arena- good sound projection, lighting and all sold out- nice too see grown ups relive their youth! Brought lots of memories of my youth too and all the excitement when Star Wars first came out!

This was a fantastic experience for all ages. My 9 year old and I went to the concert together, and my 9 year old not knowing a lot about Star Wars, with the exception of the Xbox 360 Game Lego Star Wars, she was amazed at the movie pictures and the music. To be able to capture the attention of the young and the older folks who grew up with Star Wars is a great accomplishment.

I highly recommmend this to anyone who can make it!

My grandson and myself went to this concert in Indianapolis and it was by far the best concert I have ever been to and I have been to many. We are planning on going to the next one and we hope it is soon. The sound, lighting and videos were great. I have and would recommend this to anyone, even if they are not a Star Wars follower. Our seats were 2nd level and could not have had better seats.

I am a longtime devoted fan of composer John Williams. This fact colors my review.

First, the music performed at this concert is comprised of concert or symphonic suites. Some of the pieces were arranged at the time of the original score releases; others were arranged between the film releases or since, for performance in the concert hall. As such, they vary from the presentation in the films because of the need for every piece to be self-contained, to have a neat beginning and end. Also, while every performance is different, especially with different conductors, the tempi vary significantly from those in the film because they do not attempt to match it to any given scene.

Here's whats good about Star Wars in concert:
What IS perfomed is great music! While a couple of the pieces on the program (Star Wars Main Title and Imperial March) are regularly performed at symphony pops or film concerts around the world, most of the music is never heard in live performance. This is why I went and it's more than enough for those who go to these concerts just to get their geek on (and there were MANY) and for anyone just out for a nice evening listening to some great orchestral film music. In a nice touch, Anthony Daniels provides narration in the unmistakeable tones he lent C3PO in the films.

Here's what's wrong with Star Wars in Concert: Is it that much of a stretch to wish that a Star Wars in Concert event would capture the essence of the film presentation of the original scores as much as possible? This program, despite the inclusion of MOST of the significant themes from the six films, does not accomplish this. At very few points did I feel drawn out of the mindset of "Oh, I'm at a concert, listening to the symphony." The addition of cheesy, whirlwind montages of seconds-long clips from throughout the series and hundreds of geeks in the audience waving their plastic lightsabers cannot draw you into the magical marriage between the music of John Williams and the Star Wars films. This program is flawed in the same way just about every film music symphony concert is: it's too much conventional symphony suite presentation and not enough original film score!

What ELSE is wrong with Star Wars in Concert? Why, when the original films AND scores were so popular with both critics and the masses, dilute the experience by spreading out the content over six films' worth of material? Again, when this approach is taken, there is little option but to present only the super-familiar themes in suite arrangements. Yes, it was all composed by John Williams but there is a clear difference between the music he wrote at the peak of his creativity for some of the greatest films ever made and what he wrote a generation later for decidedly mediocre movies. Also, where was Han Solo and the Princess, otherwise known as the Love Theme from Empire Strikes Back? This is one of the greatest film themes ever composed, and it is only given a cameo appearance at the end of the Asteriod Field piece!

Everything I've written so far is about the CONTENT of the concert, which is true no matter where it is performed. Now, about this specific performance:

The Hollywood Bowl Orchestra has a very good reputation. For the most part, I would say this performance validated that reputation. However, there was one GLARING defect in the orchestra's performance: the French Horn! I know it's a difficult instrument: that's not the point. The point is that this is an expensive concert to attend, performed by a supposedly world class orchestra. The French Horn was BADLY out of tune during what should have been its shining moment, Princess Leia's theme. The addition of several cracks during his/her solo meant that one of the best moments in the concert was RUINED! These kind of errors should not happen in full-time, professional orchestras.

The sound of the orchestra was beautiful during the softer moments but very harsh during the iconic, brassy moments that first come to mind when you think of Star Wars. And there are lots of those moments. This is because the speakers are set way too loud! Ideally, it would be entirely acoustic, but in an outdoor venue like the Hollywood Bowl they are an unfortunate necessity.

The other thing that really bothered me about this performance is that the concert started half an hour late! Then the intermission went twenty minutes longer than it was supposed to. Those seats are not very comfortable and it's a marathon getting-to and leaving the concert. It all adds up to leave you exhausted at the end of the night!

The Hollywood Bowl is a beautiful and historic venue and a worthy attraction to visit while in LA. It is nice that they let you bring food in to enjoy during the concert. One word of advice for those who take the shuttle bus: when exiting the venue, you must go under the marquee to get out to the buses. It can be hard to see the stair entrance when there are so many people leaving at once. Don't go down the hill with the crowds toward Hollywood!

The bowl was packed. The orchestra was magnificent and Anthony Daniels was extraordinarily charming with his commentary. However the choice that some made to bring their young, loud, crying and complaining children was ill thought out, This was a concert that you needed to be mature enough to sit through. I felt that an indoor venue would have been more suited to the material as you lost something in the size of the bowl. The laser effects were great, however an indoor venue would have worked better. I was somewhat disappointed as I had brought 7 others along and paid for all the tickets. I just felt like the evening wasn't worth the cost.

Star Wars in Concert under the stars at the Hollywood Bowl. Does it get any better than this? I don’t think there’s ever been a time when there were that many lightsabers in one place. There must have been 10,000 lightsabers wielded by just as many Padawans. I know my kids enjoyed them as much as they did the show. This was their first time to the Hollywood Bowl & they instantly recognized this world famous landmark from all of the tv shows & cartoons they’ve seen it in. The show’s ultimate highlight was when John Williams made a guest appearance & conducted the final song.

The biggest disappointment was looking for parking and the fact that there was no museum of costumes and props this time around. Aside from that, the venue is beautiful, the employees were friendly and the music sounded amazingly clear. It was truly a lot of fun sitting with a bunch of other Star Wars geeks.

My brother told me about the concert last year and we missed it when it was in So. Cal and Las Vegas. Now that we've seen it, we will definitely see the show again. It was awesome. At the end of the show, John Williams came out as a special guest and conducted the last piece. So amazing!

The timing of the orchestra & the video was amazing. First time I saw this show was at the Nokia 2 years ago, & I think the Nokia is a better venue. If you just need a single seat at the Bowl, the closest you can get is half way back. The huge sound/lighting disk above the stage cut off the stop of the screen. At times the video was put on the frame of the Bowl; sometimes you could tell it was from the movies or the orchestra and sometimes it was a distraction wondering what it was. I'd love to see this concert again & again, maybe just not at the Bowl.

the Star Wars In Concert was an outstanding experience for us. the narration by C3PO, the music of the orchestra, the close-up shots of the orchestra and all the special effects made it a spectacular event. The best part was actually seeing John Williams conduct. What a treat.

I have seen this concert in an indoor arena before. I really recommend this concert if you are a Star Wars fan however I think with an arena, you can get a better sound and lighting effect. Hollywood Bowl is a great venue but with this type of concert, indoor arena is way better.
