Star Wars fans line up at wrong theater
'Star Wars' fans stew in queue

By GABRIEL SNYDER

If a movie isn't playing at a theater, will its fans still line up outside? For "Star Wars" fans, the answer is a befuddling yes.

Saturday, 46 days before "Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith" opens on May 19, the trilogy's enthusiasts began their vigil outside Grauman's Chinese Theater.

Problem is 20th Century Fox doesn't plan to open the film at the Chinese, opting instead for the ArcLight a few blocks east.

"Star Wars" or no, the diehards are resolute about keeping their line on Hollywood Boulevard.

1. Talk about idiocy is more like it.
Standing in line for 46 days to see a movie is stupid. Standing in line for 46 days to see a movie that isn't even playing at the theater you're outside of is beyond stupid.

4. Well at least you go the right place to not have your vote counted.
Beyond that I would say they are on par.

6. odd, heard that many people were told they were at the wrong place to vote
then again, is it called a vote when the new leader has already been decided by the people that really pick them ?

No matter, the lining up crew is in no danger of missing the first showing of SW3 where ever it shows up at ?

If only the american public was as aware of reality.

This is all that rotten commie Rupert's doings.
