Star Wars Trilogy in 30 Minutes was a fast live stage comedy that condensed A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi into a half-hour performance by a small cast. Fan accounts described it as extremely funny, with quick character changes, compressed dialogue, physical comedy and a scene-stealing Jabba. The show had a long life at conventions and small theaters, and Celebration IV scheduled many performances so fans could fit it around panels. Its appeal came from how well it trusted the audience’s knowledge: the jokes worked because everyone in the room already knew the trilogy beat by beat.
