Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Nerds

by Ross Catrow

So me, havoc and RMSzero adventured out into the wild blue south side of Richmond Virginia last night (and technically this morning) to see Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. This post is not a review of the movie, this post isn’t even about the movie. It is about the nerds. Specifically Star Wars nerds.

Sixteen pictures follow. Enjoy.

Outside the Theatre


There were a lot of people there. Commonwealth 20 sold out 8 theatres for the 12:01AM showing. There were lines on either side of the entrance.


Here you can see 3 dudes in Jedi robes, one dude in a bathrobe and one dude with a really bad Storm Trooper costume on.


Apparently this Sith Lord likes to keep in touch with his family. It was his mother’s birthday! Force Chokes for everyone!


How awesome is this guy? A fatty in a tight flight suit with two lightsabers *and* a bike helmet. Are you this awesome? I asked him “gimme some sorta sweet action shot” — and this is what I got.


This is a good picture to compare and contrast what a good Storm Trooper costume looks like, and what a crappy one looks like. See if you can spot the crappy one!


Intense.


Hey, who loves starwars? Is it this guy? I bet he does. His light saber cost over 100$ btw.


“I’m so stoked my parents brought me here and made me wear this costume. w00t.”
