A year ago there was no news and we tried in vain to get a discussion going about, well, anything. Now a year later there are lots of things going on; It's a revival, but a despised revival. Enough philosophizing. On with the show:
QUOTE
The stage-trained actor was as surprised as anyone when a Star Wars sketch condensing the 1977 movie into 20 minutes charmed audiences.
Ross says "When it took off it was a bit of a surprise to me. This is one of those things that struck a chord." Fortunately, it also struck a chord with Star Wars director George Lucas's company Lucasfilm, which didn't shut Ross down. "By the time I got contacted by them, I'd already had enough positive press behind me."
Ross describes the show as a retelling of the original bad-hair trilogy. "I've got the script down to one hour. I don't use costumes or sets or props."

You mean just tell it, by a "story". Wow. What an innovative concept. But surely there are C-3PO and Chewbacca suits so the fanboys aren't disappointed?

"No, man, this has to be portable. I could yank a bunch of costumes around with me but - correct me if I'm wrong - I think, no matter how much money you put into it, it would look kinda lame.
That last sentence nicely describes what's wrong with CGI too.
