Join us at Tosho-con on Saturday July 19 at 1pm in the AV Room for THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK: A Staged Radio Play Parody presented by Raconteur Radio!
The battle between the cruel Galactic Empire and the ragtag Rebel Resistance rages ever on. As Darth Vader chases the Alliance across the galaxy, Luke Skywalker studies the Force, jogging the bogs of Dagobah with a backpack font of backward wisdom, otherwise known as Yoda. But when the villainous Vader captures Han & Leia, Luke must decide whether to complete his training and become a full Jedi Knight or to boldly confront Vader and save his friends. PLUS: Jazz vocalist Danielle Illario sings Max Rebo's "Lapti Nek!" (In Huttese!) Run time: ~55 min. Family friendly.
