Brits snag first marathon

Read it and weep

British Star Wars fans will be the first in the world to see all six films back-to-back, including the eagerly-awaited final installment, Episode III – Revenge of the Sith.

Lucasfilm and 20th Century Fox are to show the entire saga in London’s Leicester Square on May 16, a day after Episode III’s world premiere in an out-of-competition screening at the Cannes film festival, but a full three days before it goes on general release in the UK.

Bloody hell!
