Star Wars at the Portage Theater
Revenge of the Sith
The last of the prequels, Revenge of the Sith. It was not an easy thing to get the line together. Our theatre of choice for TPM and AotC, McClurg Court, was not closed. So we had to move to AMC River East. Where we were not allowed to camp out. Did this stop us? No, we just camped out in front of the old McClurg, and moved to AMC the night before the movie. It was a crazy time. Here are the pics:

Chicago Force says farewell to AOTC on IMAX
Five months after its huge debut, Attack of the Clones: The IMAX Experience is leaving Navy Pier IMAX. On Friday, April 4, Chicago Force will gather during its final weekend. We’ll meet at the box office at 8:30 P.M. for the 9:30 P.M. showing. If you’ve never seen AOTC in the IMAX format, you owe it to yourself to see it on their 60-foot-tall screen with 11,000 watts of sound. Look for the Chicago Force t-shirts. Afterward, we’ll head to Dick’s Last Resort to toast its departure.
Navy Pier IMAX is at 700 E. Grand St., Suite 115. Tickets can be bought at the box office or at www.imax.com/chicago. Since there is only one showing of Attack of the Clones that evening, we strongly encourage you to buy your ticket in advance. Dick’s Last Resort is at 435 E. Illinois. Check out www.dickslastresort.com for more info. We’ll be there at approximately 11:45 P.M. For the latest information on Chicago Force events, visit www.ChicagoForce.org.
