alright, I can understand the money issue.. but when I went today I could swear there were less than 30 people in the theater, and that isn't just here. I don't know what it's like where you are but here they have it on 4 screens and I KNOW you can get in with hardly any people.. lol
I remember seeing Phantom Menace at the midnight showing, it was sold out. and in fact the next 3 times I went to see it it was sold out as well.. and I only paid ONCE.. the other times were a Free ticket won from a radio station and the other was a friend treating.. :)

They showed here in Baltimore, Maryland, every day on the local news, starting in like May 1st, people camping out, literally with camping gear, a month ahead of time, in front of the theaters here to get tickets! Nuts!
The longest I ever camped out was like 1 day for my 1st Allman Brothers concert. Can't believe people wait a MONTH...
Don't they have jobs, a life! Wish I could just get the dough and waltz past those crowds right NOW! I want to see this as bad as the first trilogy films!!!!
BTW....I used to have more memorabilia from the first trilogy than ANYONE...but several years ago some things came up and I had to sell it all. Broke my heart. I had everything...t-shirts galore, complete sets of trading/bubblegum cards, all 3 soundtracks on vinyl and CD, the videos, jewelry (an R2D2 necklace! and a Star Wars digital watch), cereal bowels, TONS of glossy photos, EVERY ORIGINAL magazine that covered them (Rolling Stone, Time, Starlog, all the sci-fi magazines), programs, the PBS/National Public Radio radio series with the original cast talking the story.
Here's what really hurt.
The VERY first thing that I ever won in my entire life...in 1977 my High School held a 24 hour dance marathon where each dancer got pledges to go to the March Of Dimes. I was the only person to last the whole 24 hours and I had the most pledges of charity money.
I had no idea there was any prize as it was all for charity.
I WON the soundtrack double vinyl album of Star Wars from doing that charity.
I miss that album more than anything because of the many meaningful things it had for me. Mostly being Star Wars, and music, but it was the VERY 1st thing I ever won, (I was 15 at the time), and from helping a charity too. :(
My sister has gone to see "Sith" about 5 times now, I think...and we are going again on the weekend. lol..
