Imagine if you were a Star Wars Fan and a LOTR fan and by some incredible coincidence both your favourite things got combined in one experience.
That’s exactly what happened to Peter: “I thought you might be interested in some of our photos from the opening day of Star Wars when Elijah and Sean came and sat behind us in line for the evening.

“Here’s a pic of Sean when he arrived. I’m the guy on the left. [More]
I was the first to see Sean and say hi and introduce myself to him and show him the way to Elijah. They were both so cool to everyone.

People wrote in suggesting other options for pre-ordering the FOTR DVD if you don’ t like shopping online. You can pre order the video or DVD of FOTR at Woolworths in the UK and in the US, “Blockbuster may take pre-orders eventually, but the Warehouse is taking pre-orders NOW (did it myself yesterday), and you get a $3 off coupon when you do.” Also in the US, Warehouse and Hollywood are taking pre-orders. Thanks to Matthew, Kerry and Rachel.
