The AFI Silver Theatre in Silver Spring MD has been showing the Star Wars films in honor of George getting the AFI Lifetime Acheivement award. They had the entire OT play on Saturday and Sunday and episodes 1 and 2 on Friday and today. They will also be playing the Indiana Jones trilogy and other Lucas films in the coming month.

The size of the crowd for Empire was very big and very impressive considering the recent DVD release. They showed the 1997 Special Edition version (scream and all) and the audience was laughing throughout the movie (especially at Yoda, R2D2 and Han). Nothing beats seeing the SW films on the big screen with a crowd.
