    <i>Tuesday, January 1st, 2002

    Seattle Star Wars Society member's Jeff Tweiten & John Guth have become the first in the world to begin waiting for Star Wars Episode II - Attack of the Clones.  Jeff began his wait on January 1, 2002, and was soon joined by SSWS President John Guth.  They will wait at the Cinerama theatre for nearly four and a half months until the release of Episode II on May 16th.

    Why start waiting so early?  For one, John & Jeff are attempting to set a new world record for the longest wait for an event.  But this is also an art project.  Jeff explained a few days before beginning the wait:

    "Waiting for Star Wars is an art project designed to capture the evolution and journey of one person's wait for a single event (Star Wars Episode II). It will be captured by time-indexed photographs taken every hour as well as pictures and video of the people we interact with.

    This project also explores the issue of the pursuit of happiness. It asks how much will a person sacrifice for a temporary acquisition, and questions whether a person can be happy with just food and shelter in pursuit of that acquisition. It also asks, will society as a whole fear or accept people for not desiring the things they desire, or for desiring things they consider frivilous or ridiculous. Finally, as we move into the next millennium, I wonder if our fast-paced society has become unwilling to slow down and wait for the things that bring us the greatest joy. This wait will test my mettle as I attempt to do just that."


    John & Jeff also said, "Special thanks to the Seattle Police Department for making the city of Seattle safe enough to pull off a project of this type."</i>

    DUKE HATES STAR WARS!!! It is so unreallyistc,!

    DUKE WILL GIVE you all a example:

    In the FIRST MOVIE, Obi Wan is figthing DARK VADER in the DEATH STAR MOBILE, and VADER cuts him in halfs with his LIGHTSABUR!

    THEn, his JEDI robes fall on the ground, but in the next MOVIE, OBI WAN comes back and you know what ah means!

    Huh

    RIGHT

    HE SHOULD BE NAKED@!!! DUKE was so fustrated when OBI WAN SHOWED up weaeing more clothes??!?! HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN Naked Won Kenobi throuhgout the last two movies, his spirit shouylda not had no clothes!!

    HE LEFT his clothes in the DEATH STAR and it bot blowed up, so HIS CLOTHES WERE NO MORE.

    So the truth comes out. LHutz has Star Wars fantasies involving Obi Wan. I bet you want to check out his lightsaber and use the force to bend your will don't you Hutzy?!

    Somehow, I just knew someone would say that...:D

    Don't get me wrong: I do love Star Wars, but I still have a life....and a girlfriend.

    What kind of people wait for a crap movie like this. I kind of understood the fools who waited for part I they didnt know it would suck. they were blind to it. but this one not only has part I sucking up the screens, but the trailers for part II are soooo BAAAADDD I mean its just rediculus. and on top of the bad trailers and all Nsynk are in the movie. yeah this should be good.

    do you all really want to know why darth vader becomes a bada$$?? its because that chick called him Annie!! Annie is a redhead chick with freckles. not a neck pinching freak in black.

    as Axle Rose once sang about his dog
    (parasfrased to fit subject))
    I used to love it, but now ive got to kill it, but it 6 feet under the ground....

    I now hate what i once loved. george lucas will NOT be getting my $10 bucks!!

    these losers would be better served waiting for LOTR II, III

    peace

    That's funny...what a coincidence. I'm sitting in front of the AMC 30 on Dunvale typing on my wireless notebook. I'm first in line for Austin Powers 3. It comes out in July.


    Would someone bring me a thermos of hot coco?
