Finally the magic hour is here Theater lights dim The 20th Century Fox logo flashes on the screen and the audience braces to make the jump to light speed Shouting and whooping erupts as the Lucasfilm Ltd logo appears "Shh!" the audience hisses as a simple phrase in blue letters introduces the opening episode of the out-of-this-world fairy tale The words could say "Once upon a time or "In the beginning but no Finally Star Wars is here again A long time ago in a galaxy far far away Star-TelegramKELLEY CRINN Yoda a a Manuel Monsante of Coppell addresses the media Tuesday night at Grapevine Mills ZE ence in Theater 16 Some faces have smiles of satisfaction as the crowd dissipates but many viewers say they're tired from the event maybe a little too tired to really enjoy the movie "I drank a lot of coffee before came" Dallas resident Bob Mador says on his way out of the theater Theater workers say they expect a line to begin forming soon for the 9 am show gt ilk PA- a 4 )o) enburg 47 and his wife Patrice 46 look out of place among the 200 mostly 20-somethings who are lined up for the 9 am show But the Lewisville couple are probably the only ones who can say they saw the original Star Wars on opening day in Chicago in 1977 "There really wasn't any hoopla then" Robert Goldenburg says "It was just another movie opening up" The only other person in line who attended that 1977 premiere is their son Matthew Goldenburg 21 But he was in the womb of his mother who was seven months pregnant at the time kkec- L'7 Pt 9-1 (711 40172C' a at CI490 rzt4orzt Fine Furnishings Jewelry Bronzes Vehicles Collectibles Antiques 205 Williamsburg Lane Fort Worth TX 76107 in the Historic Monticello Additions FW Mapsco 62W Exit 130 to University North continue to Bailey follow signs 10 am Sat May 22 1 pm Sun May 23 Preview 1 hour prior each day Beautiful 4065 sq ft home busk in 1942 4 brg 4 baths 2 living arms 2 dining areas enclosed gunroom 2 whip I mock fp garage has built-ins nostalgic charm Real estate will be auctioned at 2 pm Sal (Subject to owner confirmation) Te' 4:58 pm There are worse ways to spend a day Mike Carter says The computer programmer from north Dallas has already seen this ditty once at 12:01 am But he's back for more this time the 8:15 pm show "It's been fun" says Carter who was 7 when the original Star Wars came out He saw it 27 times Thank goodness for vacation days Carter says 8:30 pm Microsoft of Las Colinas decided not to fight the force The company bought more than 100 tickets for its employees The result? Many stayed through most of the work day before going to see the movie But employee Lee Allison 35 went over to the dark side anyway "I had some vacation time coming so I took the rest of the week off" Allison said "This is my second time to see it today" 2:20 am OK so everyone coming out of the theater is a huge fan by definition anyone who went to the 12:01 am show qualifies and there are no bad reviews here "Titanic move over George Lucas is in town" Zack Adelstein of Cleburne declares "It blew away my expectations" Denton resident Christian Hamberger says "I didn't think it was going to fit in with a 20-year gap in the technology between the movies but it meshed nicely" Colleyville resident Erin Fulton 17 says "I'm a girl and I'm young and I can say I liked it It's one of the best films I've ever seen" One of her friends fell asleep 20 minutes into the movie after waiting in line all day And some people think Chewbacca should be brought back to tear new character Jar Jar Binks' arms out of their sockets 6 am Game Works which is next to the theater has been open all night and is now quiet The high-tech game center had rocked for hours as Star Wars fans blew off steam after the 12:01 and 1 am shows Now the place is empty except for a small group playing air hockey and facing a long drive home Kim Hoffnagle 28 David Hartley 27 Michael Townsend 28 and Nektaria Glinou 26 say they drove for two days from New England to Grapevine to see the 12:01 premiere They couldn't get tickets in their hometown so they decided to take a fun-filled road trip "They don't have as many theaters that meet Lucas' specifications and the area is filled to the brink with people in their late 20s early 30s" Hoffnagle says Noon A twist of fate has Collin Maloney 10 pondering his good fortune Two hours earlier he was in his fourth-grade class in Keller with his head buried in a history book Then a loudspeaker announcement told him and his twin Cameron to report to the office They were surprised to see their mother Lori "She said we were going somewhere boring the dentist" Collin says Now they are standing in line with about 50 others waiting to see the 1:30 pm movie "I got really excited" he says VEHICLES: 1993 Lincoln Towncar 1990 Lincoln Town Car (Cartier Edition) Nice clean vehicles FURNITURE HIGHLIGHTS: Heavily carved mahogany Rococca bed (queen) queen Sin mohg canopy bed 10 piece mahogany formal dining table chairs 3 door beveled glass China marble top consoles plant stands mahogany matching sofa chair set antique hunt cabinet game table w4 chairs leather top mahogany partners desk bookcases chocolate tables green leather style sofa Settee Mahog 2 door China antique sideboards French drum tables mohog corner cabinets carved ornate wood gold guilded wall mirrors COLLECTIBLES BRONZES: 6 carved drug store wood indian fine proc tea sets lg crystal punch bowl set oil paintings famous framed prints scrimshaw grizzly bear lamp leaded Tiffany style table and floor lamps buffalo head mount Oriental Persian rugs wall clocks fine European cut crystal pen (some signed) lg regulator clock dresser sets perfume bottles crystal vases crystal compotes crystal candy dishes etc Bronzes: After Death re-cast lg Coming dint the Rye Bronco Buster Rattle Snake Norther Wooly Chaps End of the Trail by James Earl Fralzer Gold Coins Old US Coins (silver etc) Indian Pottery Kachina Dolls JEWELRY HIGHLIGHTS: ladies 14Kt ring with 30Ici marquise diamond His Hers Rolex President watches 18Kt Los14Kt brae wapprx 1 7cts bag cut died Los18Kt Brac wScts Bw4 cut diad (apprs at $14500) Los I4Kt brae w4cts dim!
