If you’re a veteran Star Wars fan, you’ve seen the original films in a multitude of formats: on the big screen, on the small screen, letterboxed, pan & scan, original cut, special editions, probably even a LEGO version at some point. So the opportunity to see the original
Star Wars in a new way is a pretty big deal. This week, the Orlando Philharmonic plays
Episode IV: A New Hope on a big screen in the Dr. Phillips Center’s Walt Disney Theater, minus the soundtrack.
