A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…
Well, not really that long ago. In December 2013, some talented friends got together with a fun idea, “Let’s make a Stars Wars parody, in the style of a Disney musical!” And so was born “Star Wars: The Musical!” Now, many months later, filming is complete and they want to share it with us all at the Star Wars: The Musical Wrap Party! And you can be there!
Mingle with the cast and crew of the film and see the finished film in its entirety! Tickets are just $15 online ($20 at the door). Proceeds will be donated to Fandom Charities, Inc, a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation. NOTE: Whedonopolis.com is a project of Fandom Charities, Inc.
At the party, you will enjoy complimentary drinks and desserts, a Disney sing-a-long, lead by composer George Shaw and Chrissa Villanueva, and a live perfornance by singer-songwriter Priska. And enter their drawing to win cool prizes!

The Musical
As a pure passion project and fan film, this project came together thanks to so many dedicated fans who donated their time to make this happen. It began a year and a half ago following the news of Disney’s purchase of Star Wars, with the simple question of what if Disney made Star Wars a musical? So after 6 months of writing/producing the music, 6 months of pre-production, 5 days of production, and another 7 months of post-production, we are all just eager to finally share it with friends, family, and audiences.
