Anybody can find out when the movie was released in Singapore?
I remember watching it in Prince theatre in 1978, my first year in U. I remember it was my first year as I went alone as I do not know that many people yet. If it had shown in 1977, it would have been in my pre-U days and I would had gone with friends. I cannot recall the exact month or day.
Find, fix, finish

I'm IN for a Movie Marathon! :D Maybe as an in between entertainment, can also play things like "SW Christmas Special" or one of the great FanFilms etc etc

Anyway, I hope it's at the new Cathay as the place should be bigger rite and won't have Cineleisure Photography Policy? And does that place have a Ballroom where we can have our D&D? Heehee....maybe someone with the SW Cookbook and SW Party Books can throw in some SW Food?

And to make more interesting, a March in costume from Douby Ghaut to Cathay. So that means maybe we start from Fri Evening, followed by the Movie Marathon throughout Fri Night and Sat and then D&D on Sat Night? :D

I'm not too keen on having a movie marathon... We should be enjoying the company of fellow Star Wars fans and not simply sit beside one another in darkness... I would prefer a single screening of ANH following by dinner and some other activities...

Count me in...

...for the Star Wars movie thingy!

Whether its full blown SW movie marathon or just a screening of A New Hope in a theatre.

Howabout a double feature---Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope...back to back...something old, something new!

Bring your own lightsabers!!!

how about that?!

Let's gather suggestions first and I'll conduct a poll thereafter... In the meantime, we'll be having several publicity roadshows to increase the fanbase... Once that is done, we can do our sums wrt the cost of having large events...

If we have the ANH (Original or SE or DVD Version?) Screening, what's the min. no. of people needed to fill the theater?

And a stupid question, how to get the Movie Reel as if I remember correctly, the latest version on a reel will be the SE. Unless they can play the DVD. :?

i would say a movie marathon of Ep1 , 2 , clone wars vol 1 and 2, 3 , 4 , 5 ,6 . And yet another bazaar, and costumers marching about .

And a more centralised location.
After all these years, I still love Clones

DnD is a definitely a brilliant idea- Getz ....and probably if we can drive the payment to the similar of paying for a bbq session per head kind of pricing, it will also benefit those who are still schoolings....quantity is definitely is the winning key for sure...

movie marathon is a bit tricky here cos we might need to pay for the re-release of the tape for the movie and again we might be charge huge sum for this purpose...

really worth thinking about...DnD....

Woohoo. Sounds loads of fun. Now please don't let it clash with Prelims/Common test.
