See StarWars: Episode III a week before anyone else - for a price...
INSTEAD of standing for weeks in front of the wrong theater waiting for "Star Wars: Episode III ? Revenge of the Sith" (more on this later), maybe you should consider taking out a second mortgage and going to a benefit premiere seven days before the official opening.
The final entry in the George Lucas saga ? about Gen. Obi-Wan Kenobi's going to the land of Bibbity-Bobbity-Boo to take down Count Dooku, and Old King Cole's convincing Anakin Skywalker, the man who will become Darth Vader, to help turn Oz into the Galactic Empire, or something like that ? opens May 19.
But you can get "I saw it first" bragging rights by buying a ticket to a May 12 screening that benefits the Koret Family House.
The movie will play at Loewe's Metreon in San Francisco, one of the 10 U.S. cities showing it that night.
Proceeds go to the Koret charity, which provides temporary housing for families of children with cancer and other illnesses while they are being treated at UCSF Children's Hospital.
Here's the catch: General admission is $500 per person, not a terrible expenditure considering the tax-write-off factor.
But if you want to buy a sponsorship package, you have to plunk down between $2,500 (still not awful) to $100,000 (feeling faint now).
