HOLLYWOOD, California (Reuters) -- A hit from the 1999 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, "Star Wars Trilogy in 30 Minutes" will make its U.S. premiere at the Coronet Theatre in West Hollywood on October 25.
Adapted and directed by Patrick T. Gorman, the half-hour play reduces the three original "Star Wars" films into a coherent comedy with all the famous lines intact.
The actors play multiple roles -- Darth Vader as the hairy Wookie Chewbacca, Yoda is C3PO is R2D2, and the ensemble plays everything from the Ewoks and the Cantina Band to a trash compactor.
The play, which is sanctioned by "Star Wars" creator George Lucas, runs through November 23.
