Like many films before it Star Wars is being adapted for the stage, although rather than an all singing, all dancing stage play like Billy Elliot or Hairspray, this is more a celebration of the music of John Williams.

The production which has been co-written by Williams and LucasFilms staff will be a two hour journey through the six film saga showing edited highlights from the films along with props and consumes from the films.

Titled Star Wars: A Musical Journey the stage show will open at The O2 Arena (formally the Millennium Dome) next April, with tickets going on sale on Monday, read the BBC news story here or visit The O2 Arena site for more info.
