Tomorrow night, Zooming the Movies is doing The Empire Strikes Back. I'm playing Yoda, my favorite Star Wars character. Probably not going to paint myself green but I will definitely be wearing elf ears! Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back Streaming live on 3/9 at 7:30pm CST / 8:30pm EST

Wow! Yoda is an awesome role! Besides the ears will you have a cape or cloak of some kind and a walking stick (or is that a light saber)? I don't blame you for not wanting to be green! Please add the link to this thread. I still have no idea how to find it on the Zooming the Movies FB page.

Honestly, if I wasn't also reading for General Rieeken (one of the Rebels), I probably would have gotten some green makeup. Yes, I have a cloak and walking stick that will hopefully look somewhat Yoda-ish.
To find the video, you just need to go to their Facebook page and keep refreshing the screen until it shows up. Sometimes they're a bit delayed going live. I'll post the link here as well though.

That was a long one. You were in a lot of scenes, right off from the beginning as the General and then as Yoda. I liked seeing you with meatier roles.
You did great as Yoda. Your voice was perfect. I forgot how comical Yoda was when Luke first found him before he knew it was Yoda. Your ears didn't show up unless you turned your head. Imposing you against the background sort of blurred them out. What was hanging off the top of your walking staff? It looked like yellow plums. LOL
C3PO, Han Solo, Leia, and Darth Vader were very good. Vader sounded just like James Earl Jones.

Yeah, the ears didn't work as well as I'd hoped. They didn't show up against the virtual background. The walking stick has some tassels on the end of it. It was an art project my sister made years ago.
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it! I had a blast doing this but wow, was my throat raw after doing the Yoda voice for so long!

I bet your throat was sore! And you had more lines than Leia I think! She did look pretty in all her scenes. Many of the actors lost their outter reaches against the background. Too bad you didn't have those giant ears they have during Halloween. That might have helped.

I did watch this for a bit, especially the scene at Dagobah, and I think you did a very good Yoda impression!

LOL! Great accent and speech patterns for Yoda! Yeah, ears did not show up for me, but only was looking for them because you said you would be wearing them -- did not negatively impact your performance: excellent Yoda, ears or not!

In honor of Rex Manning Day, Zooming the Movies is doing a virtual reading of Empire Records tonight at 7:00 pm CST. I'll be playing Mitchell, the store owner, and various other parts. (If you aren't familiar, Rex Manning Day is an event that takes place at the titular record store in this movie. Fans have been commemorating it online for years.)
