Hey, great site. When I learned that the rumors were true, I knew someone had to be organizing some type of response to Lucas' ill-conceived plan. Those who are saying this won't work - well, maybe. But I've got an idea that might.

All fans should boycott the opening weekend of Revenge of the Sith.

Now, I'm not saying don't go see the movie, because, frankly, that won't happen. Even if the last two films pretty much proves Lucas is out of steam, we all want to see Anikan put on that helmet. So boycotting the movie entirely is out of the question.

But everyone is banking on the opening weekend being a record setter. 20th Century Fox, LucasArts, all the tie-in vendors, the movie houses. A lot of time and money will be spent to cash in on the opening 3-4 days of this film. What would happen if no one showed?

We won't break anybody, we won't put anybody into bankruptcy. But we will send one hell of a message that the fans are PISSED about the original films not being released. That will make our voices heard.

Think about it.
