Star Wars: Episode Whoops

Many of the Fencing With Archers minions, including us, made their way to movie houses and storyplaces to see the the newest installment of the Star Wars sixology. However, some of our fans from the great state of New Jersey (no we don't live there, but we have spent some time there in the past), had a problem understanding what they saw.

“Star Wars: Episode Three — Revenge of the Sith” got lost in translation for some fans at a movie theater in New Jersey.

It seems there was a reel mix up and, at some point in the film, Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi started to speak Japanese.

People at the Loews Cineplex at Monmouth Mall in Eatontown chanted, “Stop the movie, stop the movie” during Wednesday’s midnight premiere.

The lights came on and the manager told the audience that the movie would not continue.

Loews marketing senior vice president John McCauley tells the Asbury Park Press the audience was offered the choice of squeezing into other theaters, getting a pass for another showing or receiving a refund.

It’s not known how the Japanese version was spliced in.

We here at Fencing With Archers are convinced that the Japanese are not to blame for this mix-up, and if blame were to be placed on anyone, it should be placed on YOUR MOM!

SUCK IT!
