No review here, although the "Cosmic Wars" sub-plot was lame (and was done WAY better on South Park). Besides, why would the writers create a Star Wars rip-off when Star Wars already exists in the Simpsons universe (see various episodes i.e. I Married Marge, Lisa's Rival, Mayored to the Mob)?

Theaters with two ticket windows would usually offer tickets to all the movies that are playing, not only one film.

Comments

When it comes to fans of sci-fi, comic books, or anime, a usual sign of fandom is attending a convention, with some people dressing up (or cosplaying) as a character that he/she like. However, for fans of Star Wars, Harry Potter, and Lord of the Rings, the fandom doesn't stop at conventions. For the opening nights of those movies (and the release of the latest Harry Potter book), a lot of fans will be at the theater/bookstore waiting to be the first people on their block to see the film or read the book, with a few people cosplaying as their favorite characters. For people seeing the movies, there's a bigger way of showing their fandom: some people actually camp out in front of the theaters (sometimes being there weeks before the film's release date) in order to be the first people in line for tickets to the film.

Surely someone will have the laser discs of the good editions, a video capture card, and reasonable skill with editing software, so I suspect corrected DVD images will be available for downloading on the internet not too long after the hacked up editions are released.
