Long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away…an epic space drama unfolded to the delight of children of all ages. This December, Dark Room Productions proudly fold it back up to present, for eight performances only in San Francisco, STAR WARS: Live on Stage!

A deliciously evil empire. A heroic rebel alliance. Cool laser battles! Lightsaber duels! Awesome zero-gravity dogfights! And a $100 special effects budget! It’s everyone’s favorite, classic blockbuster performed with a very small block.

Starwars.com chats with STAR WARS: Live on Stage! Director Jim Fourniadis who also happens to be the Creative Director of the Dark Room Theater and adoptive father to Maggie “the cute French Bulldog, our mascot, who is still mad at me for making her wear a little Princess Leia costume on opening night.”

You know when fans bid up a set of 1980 Boba Fett Underoos to $104 that the galaxy’s baddest bounty hunter has still got it. For that price, the underwear better be really fun to wear!

One of the best ways to show someone you care is to make them a one-of-a-kind gift for the holidays. If you know a Star Wars fan who’s been good this year, make a Star Wars plushy bantha, a Wii lightsaber cozy, Hammerhead Sock Doll, Bossk Bean Art Portrait, or another fun gifts. Most projects only one day to make and use materials you can find in any craft store or around the house.
