Alcohol and Star Wars Don't Mix Posted By Joshua on May 28, 2002
Paul sends us this after reading this news post about food and drink issues with the latest Star Wars film:
I saw your blurb in today's force.net (5/24) regarding the sit-down dinner theatre being unable to serve food or drinks during AOTC.
I thought you might be interested to know that it is not a Lucasfilm issue per se, though their legal handlers might have dealt with it. Back in March, I investigated the possibility of renting out a General Cinema Premium theatre (the kind with leather chairs, a full bar, restaurant, etc.) and was informed by them that 20th Century Fox has a general ban on their films being shown in such theatres. Their official reason - they don't want their films associated with alcohol.
