Ah, Star Wars fans, we do love them so

An article blurb from imdb.com:

Lines Form in Hollywood for 'Sith' -- But at Wrong Theater

Die-hard Star Wars fans, some 112 of them, have already begun lining up at the Grauman's Chinese Theater, the traditional site for the movie's Hollywood premiere, for the May 19th debut of Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith. However, today's (Thursday) Los Angeles Daily News reported that the fans may be waiting in line at the wrong theater. Fox, it said, is reportedly planning to open the film at the ArcLight, several blocks away. Nevertheless, when informed of the studio's plans, those standing in line refused to budge. "This is Mecca for fans," one told the newspaper. "It's been a tradition for decades." Another fan who flew in from Australia remarked: "I was here in '02 [for the opening of Attack of the Clones] and it was one of the best experiences of my life. I walked up with a suitcase and the people welcomed me with open arms."

(note: we are at the moment 41 days out from May 19th. What are YOU doing with the next 41 days of your life?)
