Star Wars, Japanese Style
"Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith" opened in Japan this past week. Japan, the No. 2 market in the world for the movie industry, is the last major market for "Sith" to open in. Movie fans camped outside theaters in Tokyo on Friday night to be first for the Saturday 8 a.m. screening. Outside a theater in Yurakucho, the line started forming early on Friday and grew to 300 by night. It's good to see that some things don't change when they cross the ocean, especially when it's silly, fun entertainment.
