This was on the Official Site and in case you guys didn't know about it, I thought I'd post it. 
Size Matters Not -- Except on an IMAX Screen
This holiday season, Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones will be bigger than ever. Lucasfilm Ltd., The IMAX Corporation and Twentieth Century Fox have announced that Episode II will be coming to IMAX theaters in the United States and Canada starting November 1, 2002.
This is not just the projection of the standard theatrical print on an IMAX screen -- the movie will undergo the revolutionary IMAX DMR (Digital Re-mastering) process, which enhances the quality of the image and soundtrack to the huge IMAX 15/70 format. This marks the first time IMAX DMR has been used to re-master a film that was digitally captured and created.
"Star Wars: Episode II The IMAX Experience will provide an entirely new way to experience the Star Wars universe," says Jim Ward, Vice President of Marketing for Lucasfilm. "For the first time, fans of Star Wars will be able to see all their favorite characters, environments, vehicles and droids in a setting that is up to eight stories high and over a hundred feet wide."
"The combination of Lucasfilm's innovative digital technology and the revolutionary, proprietary IMAX DMR technology will deliver the clear, crisp and sharp images and sound that IMAX theater-goers have grown to expect," says Richard L. Gelfond and Bradley J. Wechsler, Co-Chairmen and Co-CEOs for IMAX Corporation.
"You can't find a movie better suited for the IMAX format," adds Bruce Snyder, President, Domestic Distribution, Fox. "We are thrilled to bring this giant of a film to the giant IMAX screen."
Keep checking starwars.com in the coming weeks for more information about the IMAX release of Episode II.
The really cool thing about this is that it opens on Lucky_Charms' birthday! I guess you'll know what we'll be doing for the special occassion. 
Also one of my friends that was at the last meeting saw an ad in the newspaper saying that this is in fact coming to AZ! Although he couldn't remember where in AZ.  I'll keep you posted.

I read about this in the Pittsburgh forum, when November 1st comes I'm going to try and see it. I will keep you informed if I find anything out, about where it will come out in Arizona.

It'll probably play somewhere in the Phoenix area. It'd be cool if we could all go see it together. Possibly with the PFF too.

Yup, I'll probably go. My parents need to go up to the Phoenix area that weekend anyway, so I should be able to be there.

Cool! I'm glad you guys either are or probably are going to be able to make it.
Once the ticketing info is confirmed, my offer still stands to get the tickets for you guys.

Sure sounds good. Does anybody know how much the tickets will be. I probebly think that you might have to order them in advance though. I wish that we could all have our TFF t-shirts by then. And we could all wear them all together. And maybe meet up with the PFF
