I camped out overnight! Met new people, shared stories, and it was like regular camping but in a parking lot and no fire.

The campout was a lot more fun than the movie.

    Another overnight camper here. We brought a long utility extension cord and got permission from the theater to use an external power outlet. We had laptops and set up a LAN. Keep in mind those days laptop screens (passive matrix LCD) couldn't do high motion FPS like games so we were limited to RTS games time Warcraft 2 and Command and Conquer.

    Did I mention there were traintracks and a road crossing right next to the theater so that every 3 hours or so a giant long freight train would go by, and wake everyone up?

    I had that exact same thoughts on the movie when finally seeing it as @wjrii@lemmy.world. We all talked about how cool the duel was and all pretended not to be disappointed by the senate scenes and JarJar existing.

    The campout was a lot more fun than the movie.

    My thoughts exactly.
