There are the events that happen in life which you can just so by chance be a part of and you are literally able to look back and say, “That was so cool.” Then there are the events which go down, happen, and you just can’t help but tell everyone you know and finish it up “Are you frickin kidding me?”

That is exactly what those in attendance of Star Wars: In Concert this past weekend are now able to do.

At a show that took place at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Philharmonic was doing their thing and enjoying another fantastic show for a packed house playing music from all six Star Wars films. On the screens came scenes and footage that went along with their playing.

Well on Saturday night, the concert-goers were in for a special treat as composer John Williams surprisingly showed up and conducted the orchestra in their rendition of “The Imperial March” which is of course Darth Vader’s theme.
