Richmond Times-Dispatch reports on a screening in Richmond:

"Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith" arrived at one minute after midnight and Richmond fans came out in force to mark the end of an era.

At Regal's Virginia Center Cinema 20, the lines formed around 4 p.m. To the left and right of the theater, yellow caution tape marked areas where those who had already bought tickets could stand. Or they could set up chairs, lay down on blankets or take a nap against the wall.

Or, in the case of Andrew Friedman, 17, and Erik Mazursky, 17, they could jump up and down. The two friends, both juniors from Deep Run High School, were first in line on the right side of the theater.

Friedman wore the brown Jedi robes of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Mazursky preferred the black garb (and single glove) of the soon-to-be-evil Anakin Skywalker. The pair wore their costumes to school and came straight to the theater.

Mazursky even added a scar, similar to the one sported by Anakin in the film. His mother's lipliner worked fine until it started to wear off, halfway through the school day. So he just borrowed some from a teacher.

"We've been waiting for this since fifth grade," Mazursky said. Like most fans lining up early, they bought tickets in advance and arrived early to get good seats.
