"Star Wars" fans are expected to be out in force in London on Tuesday for the UK premiere of "Attack of the Clones."
Lead actors Natalie Portman and Ewan McGregor will not be attending because of work commitments, media reported.
But Hayden Christensen, Samuel L Jackson, Christopher Lee and director George Lucas are expected to attend the screening of "Star Wars-Episode II: Attack of the Clones" at London's Leicester Square.
Tickets for the opening night at the Odeon cinema sold out within hours when they went on sale last month, with some fans queuing overnight to get the best seats.
"Attack of the Clones" opens worldwide on May 16.
The premiere will also feature the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra playing selected John Williams' scores from the Star Wars films.
