I brought like 5 tickets for the 1:10am May 19th show at AMC 25's Empire Theater. The theater is gonna be digital projection for the most INTENSE theatrical experience known to man. And then we're all gonna dress up in Star Wars Outfits and live it up with my fellow dweebs. Its gonna be Wicked Awesome. And by awesome I mean totally sweet.

I like to go up along the line of nerds, and say "Nanu Nanu" to all those waiting in line. I suggest we all do it.

Has anyone actually found somewhere in the NYC area to buy the aforementioned "dark side" M&Ms? I've been looking for several days.

Well, at least they're geeking it up for a good cause. And if you want to see Chewie *really* ruined, then get a copy of the god-awful Star Wars Christmas Special (which features Bea Arthur among others).

Well, articles about "Sith" claim that you shouldnt be fooled by the Chewbacca clip in trailers - that Chewbacca is barely in any scenes and doesnt talk much. Its probably better that way. There'd be a jihad against Lucas if he ruined Chewy.

YES! I remember those glasses very well. Still have my collection of figures. Used to do house chores and yard work and that would be my payment instead of an allowance. What a nerd.

I'm old enough to remember the promotional madness when the first three movies came out. I used to have burger king star wars drinking glasses....

I just hope a young Chewey isn't as cheesy as Jar-Jar. He can be cute; just not have a Jamaican accent.

I'm also really excited. We get to see a young Chewbacca and visit the Wookiee planet!

Sweet; can't wait. Witnessing Vader's coming into existence will erase so much of that pent up childhood anxiety. Maybe I can be at peace with myself and quietly transition to the dark side.

The stormtroopers kind of look like the cows in the "Cows Are Coming" ad.
