star wars report

We arrived at the Dallas Cowboy Stadium around 5:30. The place is ENORMOUS and I now realize why it cost 1 BILLION dollars. Yep, billion. Everything there is state of the art-no expense spared-over the top stadium. Crazy. In one of the lobbies were museum cases showing original costumes, maquettes, art work, musical scoring, you name it. We saw the costumes of Yoda, Chewbacca, Imperial Guards, Queen Amidala, Ewok's, C3P0, Darth Vadar, and too many more to mention. Also on display were a variety of blasters, light sabers and helmets. There were people in ORIGINAL costumes walking around and they would pose for pictures. There was a real R2D2 running around as well!

We found our seats, very low balcony. We were at a slight angle to the stage, but it didn't matter because the stadium has the world's largest high def tv screen in the world. It's 2 sided, over 100 yards long and over 5 stories tall. Seriously. The orchestra was on stage with a screen behind them as well. All of these screens were projecting what was going on on the stage. Anthony Daniels was the narrator. It was presented in chronological order, with chapter titles and montages of the films to illustrate the story he was telling. The encore was the Darth Vadar music.

This thing was incredible. Honestly, I'm just kinda speechless. Logan just kept saying "mama, this is the coolest thing ever". That pretty much sums it up.
