knut tells us about a truly awesome screening of AOTC in Norway:

Hi, I thought you would like to hear about a charity showing of AOTC in Norway last night.

While waiting outside the theater, we enjoyed watching the hardcore fans all dressed up, several Jedis and Darth Mauls having lightsaber-fights, one guy had made his own neat Jango Fett suit! Then suddenly a huge explosion, and on top of the entrance stood Darth Maul, staring evilly down at us. Then the familiar SW music kicked in, and out marched a horde of Stormtroopers, lining up for the grand entrance of four Imperial Guards, and even the Emperor himself! The crowd went absolutely wild :-).

Then we were allowed inside, and walked in between Stormtroopers on guard. As we came inside, the corridors were pitch dark, we heard only Vaders breathing, and Stormtroopers were lined up along the walls. Truly cool and scary!

While everybody (full house, approx. 1000 people) got seated, the band from the Episode IV Mos Eisley bar (?) played in front of the screen, with various aliens dancing and singing for us. What a great idea! The Stormtroopers came back, the Emperor and Darth Maul entered and sat down right in front, the alarm went off, troopers ran out, sounds of laserfights roared (wow, that was LOUD), in came a Jedi Knight, Darth Maul ran out to face him, and suddenly Maul's head came rolling onto the stage :-).

Oh, and then the movie started, and we went even wilder :-) Plenty of cheering and clapping during the film, but I leave it to others to comment on the film itself. Thanks to everybody who made this evening something special!

Definitely the most fan orientated screening we've heard about so far.
