Once you start down the dark path....

Police in Springfield, Illinois say a man wearing a Darth Vader mask robbed a movie theater this weekend. He walked into a movie theater, shoved an employee out of the way, grabbed a bunch of cash and ran. Investigators say the robber fled into a nearby wooded area. Police have no suspects but are feverlishly looking through area phone books for "skywalker" listings. Police say the robber didn't display any weapon, not even a light saber. Ironically, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith was actually one of the films playing at the theater that day.

I think it would have been more ironic if Revenge of the Sith wasn't playing in the theatre that day. Is there a theatre in America that isn't showing that movie?
