George Lucas At Chicago SW: In Concert

Posted By TFN on December 8, 2009

Surprise, surprise, surprise! Our fun-loving family the Tenutos lets us know that none other than "The Maker" himself George Lucas was in attendance this past weekend at the Star Wars: In Concert performance at the United Center in Chicago!

The Tenuto family was there as well and had a great time at the show.

See the intro from an article posted on ChicagoTribune.com that reports on the concert, and then click HERE for the full read.

"If you were backstage at the United Center on Sunday morning, before the matinee performance of "Star Wars in Concert," you noticed: 86 members of the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra; a golf cart whizzing past with Ewoks dangling off the back; one Chewbacca; one Darth Vader; several Stormtroopers; Anthony Daniels, who played C-3PO (and has served as host and narrator on each of the tour's five dozen stops); and, if you paid especially close attention, the man himself, George Lucas.

According to Daniels, this was the second time Lucas had seen the show -- once in London, once here. Lucas, however, was a quiet presence -- indeed, so quiet the promoters and even some United Center management said they had no idea Lucas would be there, let alone why."

Big thanks to the Tenutos for the heads-up!
