    "Star Wars" Fans Stand In Line For Premiere
    Posted: 5/19/2005 3:36:13 AM

    Hundreds of Memphis ?Star Wars? fans are preparing to be transported to a galaxy far, far away. ?Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith? premiered at Midnight on May 19th. Members of the Memphis ?Star Wars? fan club lined up early at an East Memphis theater in hopes of getting tickets.

    People passed the time while standing in line with lobby light saber fights. Fans dressed in elaborate costumes. ?Star Wars? fan Tim Brown says, ?This movie is iconic. People have been waiting 28-years for this moment.? Tickets were hard to come by so people camped out with chairs, board games and even learned alien techniques to fit in.
