Viewing Notes
Interesting adaptation of the material into an all new story done in kabuki style by kabuki actors. Around twenty or so performers blend the different storylines into one story. Not sure it was entirely successful but it was fascinating to watch.
FWIW Japan loves Star Wars so it’s always fun to see how they incorporate it into areas of their own culture, especially when it was originally derived from Japanese history and style.
