There is NO QUESTION that I will have to see it at the Senator. I saw the Special Editions there, and the first two prequels, so I'd really be jinxing it forever if I didn't see ROTS for the first time at the Senator. It's a little tougher now that I live farther away, but I know it will be worth the trip.
Unfortunately, I can't do opening day -- maybe not even opening week! -- but hopefully the crowds will still be lively during the second and third weeks.

I sense a disturbance in the Force...
http://movies.channel.aol.com/movie/main.adp?mid=17722
Towson Commons evidently has already signed for Ep III (As shown in the linked page, Moviefone is already selling midnight show tickets).
This bodes ill for the Senator.
As I recall, Kiefaber (Senator's owner/operator) had to fight the Commons in order to get both Eps. I & II due to something in the industry know as "Film Clearance" ( http://www.senator.com/senator2.cfm ).
As I understand it (correct me if I'm wrong), if one theater signs a contract for a big ticket title, the others in close proximity are left out in the cold.

No, that's not true. That's IMPOSSIBLE!
I would hate to see the movie at Towson Commons! Yeah, it was a nice theater once (I worked there and had a lot of fun for a couple of years), but it's more like a fast food joint than a venue for a major event film!
If this is true, a great tradition will be broken and a great many fans will be very disappointed.
Hopefully, The Senator website will be updated with concrete info sooner rather than later.

We are aware of the dates of the Star Wars event this time
around and AMC Towson Commons and The Senator
regularly play films together "day and date" so that does not
in and of itself preclude our playing EP III along with Towson
Commons.

Hey folks. Just wanted to let you know that Mr. Kiefaber has gone on the offensive over at the Senator site. Looks like he's gaining confidence and telling the naysayers to take a hike. I sure hope this happens.

He has also added a link to their homepage:
"Click here for "Star Wars" Updates!"
Right now, it simply states they are pursuing the rights and that they remain confident.
I also reiterates that the 1st people to be informed of a final yes/no will be those on their "E-Mailing List". So, if you are hoping for a 12:01 Senator show & haven't already signed up, do so. It's on their homepage, on the right side.

Finally, the Star Wars Updates message has been updated (to 4/28).
However, don't get excited.
The news/content itself hasn't changed.
Beginning to wonder if perhaps this isn't a PR move. You know, not wanting to announce until they're ready to have The Line begin.
This would have benefits for the theater:
1) Maximize any possible 'news reporting' impact/publicity for the theater (have people lined up too early & the story gets old in a hurry for most folks).
2) Less days of us 'nerd vagrants' camping out & therefore
3) Fewer days needed to rent the port-a-potty. 
Believe me, thanks is due to the Senator management for the donation of that amenity during past line-ups. 
The delay in the announcement however, puts a HUGE handicap on anyone who has any real distance to travel
i.e. those currently out of state or even half the world away - Hi Sirrah.

From Kiefaber's recent post on the Senator board (May 2), I'm sensing that a positive announcement is forthcoming...
"Yes it is getting down to it so "steady Dak", I predict this story will soon have a happy ending. Please stay tuned and be sure to be a recipient listed on our Senator/Rotunda e-mail list to be kept informed from here on out.
Regards, Tom Kiefaber"
As my alter ego stated:
Personally, I'm waiting for,
"The shield will be down in moments... You may start your landing."

Don't center on your anxiety, Sapno-Krei.
Keep your concentration here and now where it belongs.
Be mindful of the living Force.
It tells me that a positive resolution forthcoming...

It is indeed official. www.senator.com
That said, should we start discussing line business? Maybe one of us can pick up Ca-Bal a ticket.
