Star Wars Episode III

Wednesday, May 18, 2005 -- Time to get your dork on. After 3 years of waiting, "Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith" is finally being released! A midnight showing at the famed Arclight Theater in LA, sitting in the exact center of the theater...it doesn't get better than this. When we arrived at the theater, we had no idea of the freak show that we were about to witness, so come take a look.

11:30pm Wednesday night: the night begins. From the top of the parking structure, the huge Arclight neon sign can fit nicely between your hands.

A few moments later, still on the top of the parking structure, we observed the first group of hardcore fans. This group of "tailgaters" built a R2D2 robot, and then began interviewing one another about why they were excited about the movie. Hardcore...and weird.

Going down the stairs, we caught a glimpse of the freak show that was about to come. The area was packed with people, and light sabers were swinging around everywhere!

I'm guessing that's either Boba Fett or Jango Fett.

You can't have a large group of people without the Jesus freaks coming out too. I always thought Star Wars was the tool of George Lucas, not Satan. Who knew?

People weren't the only ones getting in costume. This car was rigged to be some sort of flying thing, with R2D2 in the back.
