TornSoul Posted January 5, 2002 Share Posted January 5, 2002 I read this on Slashdot: "They're at it already! According to http://www.TheForce.net, Two Guys have already started lining up for Episode II (To be released May 16, 2002). Updates will be posted at http://www.SeattleStarWars.com and a their own website http://www.WaitingForStarWars.com will be up soon." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was born rich I would be sitting in Hawaii or the Bahamas while I paid some poor person like yourself(or myself) to sit in line for five months to see this movie. Or I'd just wait till it had been out for a week and go see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Simpson Posted January 5, 2002 Share Posted January 5, 2002 Geez... A little early wouldn't you say? No way I'm ever going to sleep outside the theater for Episode 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or I'd just wait till it had been out for a week and go see it. LOL thats some good thinking Those guys are crazy Upon arriving at the landmark Cinerama Theater, I was greeted by four members of the Seattle Star Wars Society. President John Guth was in attendance, and had just completed an interview with a local news station. After catching up with John, I set about asking the group a series of questions. The first question I asked was the most obvious one, "why are you lining up so early"? what I learned was that this event is part of a film project, as well as an action to increase awareness about the club and the numerous charity functions that they are invloved with. It was explained to me that should the group have started to line up in April for instance, then the art project would not have the time that was needed for it to be developed properly, also since they lined up 31 days prior for "The Phantom Menace", the group wanted to beat their old record. During the course of my visit, I learned that the group plans to have wireless internet access soon, so they can conduct their business and pass time while on line. John Guth also wanted to make mention of how pleasant and cooperative the Seattle Police Department have been, and wanted to praise them for their support and professional treatment of the line event. While there are those who will undoubtedly pass coments about members in the line having no life, being losers, and only out for attention, they are not harming anyone, and if they chose to pass their time in this manner, then it is their right as Americans to do so. When the issues of work and funding were raised, Guth explained that since he owns his own business, all he requires is web access to complete his work. Other members of the line said that they hold jobs, and will sit in line when they are not working, and will come and go as various needs arise, but are comitted to remaining in line. I will be covering the line on a weekly basis and will follow the group through the premiere of Episode II and the launch of their film project, so stayed tuned for future updates.

OnlyOneCanoli Posted January 5, 2002 Share Posted January 5, 2002 There's no way I'd camp out for this, unless somebody paid me. I'll just go a few days before it opens, get my tickets, and show up 15 minutes early on opening night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agen Posted January 5, 2002 Share Posted January 5, 2002 Yeh right... who'd camp out to see a movie that u can see easily two days later with no stress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnlyOneCanoli Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 I live in the swamps of South Florida, of course 15 is early enough. It was when TPM came out, anyway. I'll probably go 30 minutes early for good measure. That worked out fine for LOTR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digl Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 Here I went about 2 hours before to see TPM, and the line had started already, but we were within the first 50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_WAH Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 I just waited a week and there were few in line in front of me. (I arrived 5 minutes before the movie started) I guess Jar Jar scared everyone away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sounds Risky Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 I don't know when the tickets were bought (probably a week before), but we arrived like an hour early and were just fine. Got to sit in the middle in the back, THE perfect seat. Had a great time too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omne Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 I'm gonna do the same thing I did for EpI, just go to the movie theater a day before or so, buy my ticket, and go. No sense in waiting in the cold for many months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainRAVE Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 Yea, this was on the news today. Four people, obviously with nothing else better to do, have started to que outside a cinema waiting for Ep II....only thing was the cinema havent decided if their going to show the film yet..., LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 Yep, I agree with the concensus here...it's pretty daft queuing now for a film that isn't going to be released for months. I'll probably book tickets in advance, and try to go sometime during the first week of release. If I can't make it the first week, it won't bother me though.

Omne Posted January 8, 2002 Share Posted January 8, 2002 Apparently the guys are members of the Seattle Star Wars Fan Club, and have their cronies raising money to pay for them to sit on their butts and wait for the movie, which, according to the news, "may not even be shown in that theater."

wardz Posted January 8, 2002 Share Posted January 8, 2002 It cuts both ways RAVE, they could say that perhaps the time you spend here waiting for JKII is pointless. Think of that? wardz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
