San Diego Comic-Con 2009

It's shaping up to be quite the week for comic and sci-fi geeks enthusiasts.

As if the star-studded launch of Comic-Con wasn't enough to get their pocket protectors in a twist, fans have new cause to rejoice as it was announced yesterday—to much fanboy squeeing, we're sure—that Star Wars: In Concert will begin a worldwide arena tour Oct. 1 in Anaheim.

The show will feature a full symphony orchestra and choir and will be narrated live by Anthony Daniels—better known as C-3PO to those whose homes don't bear shrines to George Lucas.

In addition to an exhibit of costumes, props and artwork from all six films at the arenas, the concert will sync with specially edited footage projected on a three-story-tall HD superscreen.

Which we suppose is better than watching it in your mother's basement.
