To: Lucasfilm
With the worldwide release of Star Wars Ep. III The Return of the Sith approaching, there is a group of people who should not be left out. Our US Troops serving overseas in various branches of the military. Many may be in areas where it is impossible to see a movie, but there are just as many who are serving at bases with their own theater. Usually the movies shown at these theaters have been out for several months before they get it. I think that for a movie as monumental as the final Star Wars that special arrangements should be made by Lucasfilm to ensure that our troops get to see the movie as close to the same time as everyone else.

This subject is close to me because I recently learned that a dear friend of mine will be deployed just before the release. He is a big Star Wars fan and had planned to take leave and camp out with me for tickets in costume. However all of those plans for him are gone. He will be overseas serving at a military base when the film is released. It is possible that he might be back from his tour of service before the base could even get the movie. This would prevent him from even getting to see it on a large screen. I would love for him to get there and find out that he will be able to see the movie that he has looked forward to for years. To see a bit of the familiar while far from home is always a boost for moral. He has told me of several friends he has made in the Air Force who are also fans and will be deployed the same time.

I hope that you to feel that something should be done to allow our troops serving overseas to watch the next and final Star Wars movie. Please show your support for our troops.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

so yeah, sign the petition. whether or not you agree with this war, those troops deserve the same SW goodness. if WWE can set up whole damm wrestling show there, then GL can easily throw some cash at this and make them happy for at least 2hours and 20minutes.

i get the feeling lucas would do this anyway, but lets tug at his heart strings just to be safe 🙂

here's the link to the petition:

Ok ive signed, i totally agree with this, i hope youve not tricked me into enlisting again pvs 😮‍💨

I signed too, sounds like a good idea to me.

Thanks PVS!

Too true, they deserve something for being over there.

Hmmm......

We got movies pretty close to the release date when I was deployed. Wonder if they (deployed troops) are expecting problems with ROTS?

ROFL!

As a supporter of my former brethren in arms, i signed. We didnt get to see alot of movies when i was deployed. Mainly cause my chain of command were/are peices of shit. THANKS PVS!

And then the troops can see how similar the Patriot Act and Liberation of Iraq are to the Chancellor's Emergency powers and B.S. Clone War and how it all leads to the rise of an Empire...

I'm sorry, I'll shut up about that, sorry.

I'll sign, cuz I still want all star wars fans to get to see this movie no matter their background/profession/political beliefs... 😄
