Armageddon Melbourne Oct 17-18 2009

DesTROYer — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 14:27:03 +0000

2009 see’s the return of the Imperial forces of the 501st Legion’s Terror Australis Garrison to Armageddon. This year they are joining forces with their sister organisation and arch enemies the Rebel Legion’s Tatooine Base. Last year the 501st raised over $2000 in donations for TLC for Kids, and this year with the help of the Jedi and Rebel alliance, hope to do even better. Once again, they will be displaying their recreation of the Mos Eisley Cantina booth where in a flash of red laser, Greedo met his end at the hands of Han Solo. The argument of who shot first has raged for several years now with fans in both the Greedo and Solo camps. Come decided for yourself as you sit in Han Solo’s seat and see if you can out draw the Rodian bountyhunter.

For over 10 years now, the 501st Legion and their sister organisation, the Rebel legion, have been bringing the joy of Star Wars, honing the art of costumes and props and contributing to the community through charity and volunteer work. Together, they are Lucasfilms preferred costuming clubs. With over 150 Star Wars costumers from both clubs all over Australia, whereever you see quality Stormtroopers and Jedi, you are seeing the Legions best at work.

Special Pre-Sale Discount
Adult tickets $46 – Save Up to $6 per ticket!

Imagine Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, C3PO and Chewbacca – all on stage, all performed by just one actor. In this fast paced show Charles Ross brings to life all the characters from the original Star Wars trilogy live on stage!

As a Star Wars addict, who has seen the trilogy over 400 times, Ross handles all the characters and special effects himself, without props or costumes to hilarious effect.

Charles buzzes like a light saber, growls like a wookie and whooshes like a millennium falcon as he sings the music, fights the battles and condenses the plots of all three original films into just one hour!
Enjoy a fast-paced, side-splitting evening that’s out of this world. Why not get your friends together and come dressed as your favourite characters!

See One Man Star Wars one last time before Charles Ross switches legends in 2010 to the highly anticipated Australian premiere of his critically acclaimed show – One Man Lord of the Rings.

Perfect for Star Wars fans of all ages.
