Write your reply.

assistant: I would tend to think that most of us here could keep ourselves in
check.  It's good we have a moderator for certain things, but it should
be common sense not to start anything with anyone, especially if it
involves Trek.  If there is ever a message that says (or one like it),
"Star Wars sucks, Star Trek rules!" why not just ignore it?  It wastes
the few nanoseconds it takes to download the extra messages, it wastes
typing time where you or anyone else could be doing something else, and
it just looks childish.  I believe though there is a conference where
all that CAN go on.  You may want to look into that.  I'm sure someone
will post it if they read this message (I think it may just be the
science fiction conference).

Write your reply.

assistant: I kind of got a tripple feature.  Our local dollar theater (good
theater, THX sound in every room, not one of the normal rundown dollar
theaters) played them all for awhile, back to back in the same room but
instead of just a dollar, you had to pay three bucks.  But seeing as how
around here a normal matinee is $3.50, and I usually always goto night
movies ($6.50), three bucks for all three movies in a row wasn't bad.
(Not to mention I got refillable pepsi and popcorn, I was set for the
day). =)  But to answer your question, yes, at least one theater around
me played them back to back.

His last words, I believe, were:
"Evacuate? In our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their
chances!"
Unless he had another line after that which I've forgotten.
In any case, he is standing in the Death Star control room watching the
screen when it blows up - the view switches between the targeting
sequence and him watching the monitor before the Death Star suddenly
explodes.  I would assume he died then.

assistant: Yes, he did. I guess it's foolish to use a spoiler warning for talking
 about the actors, since everyone will know about them in time, and since
 LucasFilm has already announced them. Besides Ewan McGregor as young Ben,
 Liam Neeson will play a Jedi Knight, Natalie Portman is the young queen,
 and Jake Lloyd will be young Anakin. Also, LucasFilm hasn't announced this
 strange one yet, but I believe it's been confirmed that Harry Connick Jr.
 will also play a Jedi Knight. Weird, huh?
