Lightsabers and Live Tigers - The George Lucas Super Live Adventure with Jason Gibner
Ever heard of the George Lucas Super Live Adventure? When we saw that the amazing folks at Blast Points podcast were presenting a full panel on this incredible piece of Star Wars history at Celebration Japan, we knew we had to get them on the show to share this theatrical wonder with our audience.
Join us as we chat with Jason Gibner about this legendary $25 million stage spectacular that ran for just four months in 1993 - featuring live tigers, decapitations, flying Millennium Falcons, and real laser lightsabers. This wild theatrical experience combined Willow, Tucker, Indiana Jones, American Graffiti, and Star Wars into one unforgettable show that pushed the boundaries of live entertainment decades before Galaxy's Edge & the Halcyon.
Discover why this hit show never made it to America, how it influenced modern arena productions, and why George Lucas was a bigger celebrity in 1990s Japan than in the United States. Plus, hear about the incredible detective work Jason and co-host Gabe did to uncover this lost piece of Lucas history.
If you love deep dives into Star Wars lore and forgotten entertainment gems, this episode will blow your mind!
