Rigoletto in Stockholm is the theater for watching Star Wars movies in Sweden. A few times, it has been the only one who showed a Star Wars movie on opening night. For a long time, it held the national record for screen size and number of seats.

In 2005, it was the only theatre that sold tickets to the opening night of Revenge of the Sith. My group waited in line (as #2 in line) for six days camping on the sidewalk next to the posters you can see on the left in the picture. The line stretched half a mile along the street to the next intersection. My group took organised the queueing system, we met a whole lot of fans, and had a lot of fun. Members of my group were interviewed by several newspapers and TV teams and also a book author that had followed us for almost a year. When we got our tickets we celebrated with champagne and cup cakes.

Sadly, the line experience was of course much, much better than the movie.

This image is of a Yoda doll that is traveling the world. He visited in January this year, and we just had to take a picture of the him with the theatre.
