However, we are hopefully living our lives and do not spend our entire existence for the next 3 or so months untill JKII comes out on these boards. Geeze man.

JR2000Z Posted January 12, 2002 Share Posted January 12, 2002 Let's not forget the people who were in line for weeks to see Ep1 then end up disliking it. It would be stupid to stay in line for months and then end up hating Ep2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashavah Posted January 12, 2002 Share Posted January 12, 2002 Episode 2 doesn't hold any excitement with me. Episode One bombed with my entire community, and I doubt a little sappy romance, Mandalorians and clones will change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wardz Posted January 12, 2002 Share Posted January 12, 2002 jesus dude how about you think before you reply for once hahaha, you would make your point so much more convincing if you weren't so insulting. And just a little FYI, I spend some time looking at all the other posts before I return to write a reply to any particular thread - to avoid any hotheaded decisions. Perhaps you should try it? wardz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ushgarak Posted January 13, 2002 Share Posted January 13, 2002 You guys are being very harsh. The two people concerned do a ton of charity work on behalf of the Seattle Star Wars Club. This the latest in a long string of charity-based public events they have staged. They are not doing it to get in first, or just to get their names in the paper. They are doing it tro raise awareness for charity. Of course, when people hear about people queing up in advance they immediately think 'nerd' and slag them off, without bothering to take full account of the facts. I urge you to think differently, gentlemen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthfergie Posted January 13, 2002 Share Posted January 13, 2002 Originally posted by Omne 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." That is pointless...If I was going to camp out for Eps. II, I would go to the official opening. I wouldn't go to some showing at a dinky local theatre. It just isn't worth it...

Ushgarak Posted January 13, 2002 Share Posted January 13, 2002 Well, you are wrong. It IS worth it, because they ARE getting the publicity they wanted. In just about every way their operation has been successful. If they go the distance, they will have broken the world record, which is all the publicity they will ever need.

Omne Posted January 13, 2002 Share Posted January 13, 2002 Interesting...I had no idea of the charity implications involved. The news never even mentioned that, just that the club was raising money to pay for the men involved, not charity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ushgarak Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 No problem. Actually, this story seems to be being mis-reported all over the place, it seems only the 'nerdy' bits of it get passed on and the true reasoning behind it al has gotten lost. Bad grapevine, I suppose. But it really is in a good cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
