The Globe and Mail has an article on the 1-Man SW Trilogy. Lots of people must be checking it out, eh? Let us know if you see it this week!

When George Lucas released the first of his three Star Wars prequel movies six years ago, some fans grumbled that the special effects masked a lack of character development and plot that took away from the heart of his original intergalactic fairy tale from the 1970s.

Star Wars purists will truly appreciate Charles Ross. The Canadian actor, starring in the One-man Star Wars Trilogy at the Lamb's Theatre off-Broadway, brings Mr. Lucas' three original films back to life in about as low-tech a way as possible. Mr. Ross plays all the characters himself and provides his own sound effects for the light sabres, space ships and lasers ? cramming all three films into an hour's worth of high-energy, often immensely comical entertainment.

Mr. Ross is a self-described Star Wars geek who has acknowledged seeing the first film in the series some 400 times (it seems likely it was even more). His impersonations, therefore, are dead-on, particularly his chirpy, robotic C-3PO, his whistling R2-D2 and his very James Earl Jonesian Darth Vader. Even casual fans of the movies will recognize some of the more obscure references, such as his take on the long-legged AT-AT Walkers that attack the Rebels on the planet of Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back.

Variety also gets into the act with their reivew for subscribers ...

If you don't know your Wookie from your elbow, then you are not the target audience for "The One-Man Star Wars Trilogy." But if you're one of the many secret (or not so secret) geeks in love with the sci-fi series, then there's much to enjoy in Charles Ross' solo interpretation....
