One-Man Star Wars, written and performed by Charles Ross, is the comedic off-Broadway it that condenses the original Star Wars trilogy into a whirlwind of fun and geek-ness.

Much of Ross' childhood was spent in a galaxy far, far away, watching Star Wars videos over - and over - and over again. The result of this misspent youth is his hilarious One-Man Star Wars™ Trilogy, where he single-handedly plays all the characters, sings the music, flies the ships, flies the ships, fights the battles and condenses the plots into just sixty minutes!

A Canadian actor, Charles Ross followed his heart and his career from one side of the continent to the other. Word of Ross's one of a kind talent has spread like wildfire with recent appearances on Craig Ferguson, The Today Show, and Late Night with Conan O'Brien. To mark the release of Star Wars: Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith, Charles was honored to perform at Lucasfilm's official movie release convention, Celebration 3.

If you've already seen the movies, read the books and named your first-born Skywalker, Ross' zany take on Star Wars is right up your alley and sure to leave a lasting impression.
