Cinema staff threatened with light sabres…

Basic plot of this particular film sensation:  
-Opening Night of “Attack Of The Clones” in the UK.  
-Sold out cinema full of eager Star Wars enthusists.  
-Cinema shows reels **in the wrong order**.  
-Police summond to stop riot of very upset customers that followed.

I almost went to this very showing, change of plans saved me! Something similar happened at the last film I went to see as well (K-Pax). The cinema showed the first ten minutes with the zoom set incorrectly. I was beginning to wonder why the director had chosen to cut everyone’s head off.

Yeah, that means I still haven’t seen it yet. **No spoilers please!**
