Star Wars: Return of the Jedi to be screened with live orchestra in Glasgow

A live concert rendition of one of the iconic Star Wars original films is to be held in Glasgow next year.

Star Wars: Return of the Jedi will be screened at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, with a live symphony orchestra performing its iconic score live on the big screen.

The event, which takes place on November 29 2020, will see the classic 1983 film - the third in the original Star Wars trilogy, projected onto a huge ultra-HD screen, whilst the music of Oscar winner, John Williams, will be brought to life.

Glasgow will be the final destination of the touring performance, with earlier dates across the UK.

Return of the Jedi (1983) sees heroes Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia and co. joined by Jabba the Hutt, Yoda and the Ewoks in an adventure across the galaxy as Darth Vader prepares to unleash the final blow to the Rebel Alliance.

Legendary composer Williams is well known for scoring all nine of the  Star War s saga films, beginning with 1977's  A New Hope  for which he earned an Academy Award for Best Original Score.

His scores for  The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi,  and The Force Awakens  each were nominated for Oscars for Best Original Score.

Tickets for the event cost between £35.50 and £70.50 and are available to buy from this Friday (November 29).
