Calling all scruffy-looking nerf herders.
Can you feel a disturbance in The Force? If not, you’ll be sure to see it if you’re anywhere near Modesto’s State Theatre tomorrow evening, when it shows Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, better known to some of us old folks who saw it in the theater in 1977 as “the original ‘Star Wars’ movie.”
Tickets are $7. The show starts at 6 p.m., but you’ll want to get there at 5:30 p.m. (and in costume!) to check out fellow movie fans and meet, the State says, “Darth Vader and the amazing 501 Storm Troopers.” There will also be pizza on sale, so you don't have to worry about making dinner.
*copy editor twitch-twitch* (”Stormtroopers” is actually one word.)
If it’s been awhile since you’ve seen the movie, watch the original trailer:
Now, where did I put my gold bikini?

Go for the 501'st alone!
Real name; 501'st Legion.
But anyways, they are at almost every comic book convention around here, I remember seeing some of them at the Star Wars convention at MJC as well.
But they're great people, in addition to having some of the most ornate and detailed reproduction costumes, they do a lot of community service as well (how many fanboys do ya know who do that?)
Gah....maybe if the State Theatre had given a little more advance-notice, I could have gotten out to see this! But it sounds pretty last-minute, given that they only announced the showing today (both here, and on myspace & facebook)

I saw it at the Briggsmore after Lucas paid for an updated sound system. Currently it is Safeway, I don't recfall it playing at the State.
