Friday August 31, 2012, I attended a concert that I have wanted to see for several years. The legend John Williams at the historic Hollywood Bowl. The Los Angeles Philharmonic performed John Williams famous music. Star Wars was well represented. The orchestra played “Duel of the Fates” during main program. The concert ended with two encores, that featured all Star Wars themes. “Luke and Leia” from Return of the Jedi, “Star Wars Main Title” and ended with the “Imperial March.” Each time a Star Wars theme was played hundreds of toy lightsabers ignited in the crowd!
