"Star Wars fans are to feel the force of the seminal sci-fi films and their iconic soundtracks on stage in a major new show, which will launch next year.
In Star Wars: A Musical Journey, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra will play a live score as excerpts from the six films are shown on a cinema screen.
The show has been put together by director George Lucas' company Lucasfilm and composer John Williams.
It will premiere at the O2 arena in London in April before a European tour.
It will not be a traditional musical with actors playing characters from the films, but will feature live narrators.
The six Star Wars films have been edited down to two hours for the show, and Williams has "painstakingly rewritten" the music he wrote for the movies, a statement said."
