Yeah. Im mostly talking about people in crappy star wars costumes. If you go that far, well then Star wars is probably your life, and you couldnt care what anyone else thinks of you. Wasnt there a guy who weared a full storm trooper outfit every single day? I saw somthing about him on tv. He won some contest or something.

On the late Wednesday midnight showing I saw a full stormtrooper and a full Chewy, though Chewy was only about 5'6" which was funny. There were also a lot of Jedis and the like. I think I waited outside the theatre for 1.5 hours, it took about 45 minutes to even get in (it moved slow) and then another hour and a half in the theatre. Then a LOT of trailers, damn! Pepsi - ONEIFY! That's not even a word!

It's fun seeing it with geeks/uber fans because anytime Yoda or R2 did anything everybody cheered. Though I don't think anything beat the applause when we got to see Yoda fight Dooku in part II.

It was pretty fun but I was exhausted when I got home at 3 AM. Oh and me and some friends placed bets on the opening weekend - I won with my guess of $135 mil (They others guessed less) HA HA HA!

Besides the usual 'tards dressed up as gay jedi, and stormtroopers, a few people brought toy light sabers. When leaving a few groups of people were fighting. It was funny tto watch people spaz out and swing them wildly. My friend kept telling me to jump in and own them. After 5 minutes of him bugging me, i finally jumped into one of the saber fights... and own them i did. Its bad enough that i kinda know how to use a sword or 2, or 5 it made it easy to completey embarass some guy. When people saw a red saber swinging out and arround my long black trech coat they started to bunch up and gather. I was trying to pay attention to completely own'ing this guy, but i was sill able to overhear the "oohs" "ahhhs" and "Holy crap he knows how to use that!" and "Hes not playing arround!" I wasnitn hitting the guy very hard, but it was bad ass when i kept landing vital hits and just stopping on a neck, head, heart, artery, and tendon shot.

It was fun...
