My SiL has never seen the original SW trilogy. She plans to see the whole series in numeric order. It'll be interesting to see how she responds. I'm afraid that 4-6 will seem very simple, with the very clear-cut good vs evil adventure story compared to 1-3.

I'd be more afraid that after 1 and 2 she'll say FUCK THIS SHIT and decline to watch the rest. Signed, very, very bitter about TPM and AoTC.

I actually liked RoTS a lot. I think Hayden Christiansen proved he does one thing very well - smoulder sexily. Yeah, Padme could have done a lot less standing around weeping, and there are definitely things to be desired in terms of continuity, but overall I enjoyed watching it and came away with some food for thought, which is more than I can say for either of the other 2 prequels.

Happy birthday, Jewel Staite! [link]

In my massive skim, I saw discussion of a possible additional preview in June, but not if anything official had come out. Any news?

Not yet.

Crap. Oh, and thanks!

The fandango link is working for the Houston screening.

How did you find it / What's it listed under?

It's listed under "Special Advance Preview" at Edwards Greenway Palace 24 in Houston, TX. [link]

OK, thanks. Nothing for Boston yet that I can find.

Can anyone get in touch with Dana? I think she's out of town, and she will kill if she misses out on the tickets.

I haven't used Fandango before, since we have all of two theaters here. Is there any way to force it to June 23? I'm looking in Seattle, and can't get past the 15th.
