Star Wars Concert Review - The Preshow

The concert was held at the Roy Thompson Hall in Toronto. I guess this is usually where they usually hold these type of concerts. The building is pretty neat. It's a huge circular building. The lobby basically forms a ring around the actual auditorium. It's great to keep things from becoming too crowded during intermissions as people don't tend to pool in any particular place.

There were lots of people dressed up. I think most of them were part of the event but there were some fans too. The costumes were really good. I felt like I was at a Star Wars convention.

We had lots of Storm Troopers, Clone Troopers, and TIE Fighter pilots. Someone was dressed as Jek Porkins. Well ok, it could have been any Rebel Pilot, but his physique suggested this is what he was going for :P. There were some Imperial Officers and of course there was Darth Vader himself. They even had Artoo rolling about, beeping about and chasing kids. I think that was the coolest of the characters.

I've got to say I'm pretty proud of myself. I kept my composure and the SW nerd in me under control. I could feel it though. I know it's just people in costumes, but I couldn't help but being excited being surrounded by all these characters from the movies. It's a good thing I didn't have my camera I guess, I would have ended up with many embarrasing pictures.
