Lucas launches 'Star Wars' stage show

Epic space movie franchise 'Star Wars' is to be turned into a spectacular London stage show.

Creator of the cult movies, George Lucas, has announced plans for the production - titled 'Star Wars: A Musical Journey' - which will feature the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra playing a live score as excerpts from the six films are shown on a cinema screen.

The show will feature live narrators, and is set to premiere at the O2 Arena in London in April before touring Europe.
