“By the time I was 11 or 12, I had watched it that many times,” he says, “but I’ve definitely tried to make something positive out of it.”
The repeat viewings (current tally: 474) paid off. Ross, a professional actor who had spent years working with theater groups across Canada, knew how to mimic all the voices in “Star Wars" — as well as the fluorescent hum of a lightsaber — when he set about adapting the trilogy for stage. Ross and director T.J. Dawe then devised ways to physically represent each character so that the audience knows who they’re watching at any moment. At times, Ross seems to fully embody the roles he's playing; at other times, he relies on a simple gesture as a shorthand. Leia’s infamous bun hairstyle, for example, is represented by hands cupped around the ears. The actor isn’t afraid to editorialize, either — Obi Wan’s nose does a Pinocchio every time he talks about how Luke’s father died.

2. SO, you think you can pick a liar?
Covert operations specialist David Craig can.
The 48-year-old former Mackay man, who’s been working in his field for 21 years, says there are more Pinocchios among us than we think.
“I think (people lie) about once in every 10 minutes of conversation,” Mr Craig said.
The reasons people lied was to avoid embarrassment, make a positive impression and to avoid punishment, Mr Craig said.
