I hope some of the rest of you out there got to see
the trilogy; it was great--exhausting, but great.

I wish I could have gotten to see it!!!  It seems to me that if
Lucas, or whoever, agreed to do this to help support public
broadcasting, that they would have done this at more movie
theaters than 10 across the nation.  They could have sold out 1000
theatres with that line-up.  

Oh well.  Maybe next time.

<--- Insert favorite "Insert ..." message here ---->
Here in Toronto, thr trilogy was shown in January at the Cinesphere, one of the
largest screens on the continent (2nd to Pyramid at Niagara Falls, I think).
It is actually an IMAX screen [too bad SW isn't IMAX].  It cost $15, all of
which went to Ethiopia [?not sure on this].  The trilogy will be shown again in
T.O, this time for only $10, at the Uptown theatre.  It starts within the next
few weeks.

Sorry, that happened March 28.  It was a benefit for the Canadian Childrens
Foundation.  Tickets sold out several days ahead, by the way.  The Uptown
is now showing Return of the Jedi.
