Episode III Fans Take
Calls
Star Wars fans have already begun lining up in Hollywood, Calif., for Episode III, as they have for the last two prequel films, to raise money for charity—and this time they're taking calls. The fans, who began lining up at Grauman's Chinese Theater on April 1, are answering a public payphone at (323) 462-9609, the Episode III Liningup.net Web site reported.
"We've been doing theis for the last six years as a fund-raiser for the Starlight Starbright Children's Foundation," fan Sameer Bakhda, 29, told SCI FI Wire in an interview via the payphone at the theater. Bakhda, a native of Chicago, added: "It's one last time that we get to get together and stand on line in Hollywood, ... and hopefully one last chance for George Lucas to do something good."
The Liningup.net Web site said that it has raised more than $6.200 in pledges for the foundation, a children's charity. Bakhda said about 250 people had already gotten in line for Star Wars: Episode III—Revenge of the Sith, which doesn't open until May 19.
