One of the greater public art folklore celebrations I’ve been part of was the #StarWars Epic Rock Opera Puppet Show which was held in #Olympia #Washington’s Capital Theatre
It was sort of a talent/variety show with absolutely no official approval thrown together in 1997 before the first trilogy was re-issued in theatres
People dug out “folk knowledge” we all shared and it was ridiculous and amazing and there was a Death Star piñata
So much better than CGI

I’ve long wished that more people could’ve been at that event or it could’ve been videoed or somehow shared
Because there were parts that could’ve become memes or in-jokes I would gladly share with millions of #StarWars fans, because they were funny as hell
Guess we’ve got our oral tradition
Years later I met another person who was there and they too tell people about that night 
@AccordionBruce @JessTheUnstill this sounds amazing

Watching the movies since then, I keep wanting to call out catch-phrases from that show
But no one will understand because only like 800 people were in the audience
We all agreed for instance, there really should be a Wedge action figure
Everybody took this meaningless corporate detritus we all shared in our heads and reclaimed it for one night
