As April 1st turned over to April 2nd, it was a time for Star Wars fans to be excited. At midnight, the new toys for Revenge of the Sith would be released. And the fans would go wild. It all started at a Mexican eatery and ended at a Wal-mart. But countless Wal-mart’s, Target’s and Toys R Us’ were visited on the way. There are only a few pictures from this event as we were to busy buying toys otherwise.
