STAR WARS in Concert

In 1983, George Lucas completed the original trilogy of his "Star Wars" saga with "Return of the Jedi". Cult figures like Yoda and Darth Vader, fantastic locations like the desert planet Tatooine or the second Death Star, and Oscar-winning special effects continue to captivate audiences of all ages. Thanks in part to the award-winning soundtrack by John Williams, the space epic has achieved cult status. A galactic cinema and sound journey awaits viewers and listeners as the third film of the science fiction saga comes to the Kulturpalast for the first time. While the Dresden Philharmonic, under the direction of Ernst van Tiel, performs the impressive soundtrack live, the film will be shown in its entirety on a large screen. The second, more powerful Death Star, intended to seal the final defeat of the rebels, is nearing completion. The rebels gather their forces on the moon of Endor to fight against the Empire and the dark side of the Force. Meanwhile, Luke returns to the remote planet Dagobah to complete his training as a Jedi Knight under Master Yoda. He learns from Yoda that he must confront his father, Darth Vader, one last time. As the attack on the Death Star begins, there is another lightsaber duel between father and son. The film will be shown in German without subtitles.
