Opening night for Revenge of the Sith was such a blast! Most of my pals were able to get there early, so we got a great place in line, where we stood for a little over two hours before we were seated. I wish there had been more costumes in line, but there were some cool things going on (people watching the other Star Wars DVDs on laptops, lots of game playing, and luckily I did get to see one small light saber duel!). The Alamo was so cool, because they took beer orders for everyone in line, so we got to drink and laugh which made the time go by quickly. When we entered the theater, the local Star Wars fan club had managed to get a copy of Star Wars Galaxies (plus the expansion pack) for every single person, and they were on the tables in front of our seats! They showed two hours of cool stuff (mostly Clone Wars from Cartoon Network, but also great clips like a Japanese Panasonic commercial with a young Lucas playing in a wheat field with Ewoks!) while we ate and drank more, and suddenly it was movie time! Everyone cheered, and we all had a fantastic time. Three and a half hours of sleep later, I was at work. I've been a Star Wars fan for nearly 3/4ths of my life (ever since Dad brought me that first Star Wars comic book home from work one day), so it was completely worth it!
