Roland: What have I gotten myself into? Just try to act natural. It looks like just another wretched refugee camp, with its cramped confines, poor sanitation, food shortages, and the waiting - always the waiting... but it is in reality a "Star Wars" fan encampment, sprawling across a suburban multiplex parking lot. Who are these strange people with lives so empty that even after the movie of their obsessions opens, they refuse to disperse? Excuse me, sir - why would anyone camp out to see a movie already in wide release? Star Wars fan: Beats me. This is the line for Episode Two! Roland: Episode Two? But Episode Two hasn't even been written yet! Star Wars fan: We don't care! We're here for the long haul! Years, if necessary! Roland: Well, that would explain the home schooling. Star Wars fan: That's Jed-head training. To teach the young ones our ways.
