For the first time in memory, a major american film opened in the Czech Republic at the same time as in the United States. The film was Star Wars, Episode 2, attack of the clones which opened at shortly after midnight on the 16th of May, because of the time difference, even earlier than in the US. Paul Margulies was there to ask the question, "what makes someone want to be a Jedi Knight at a midnight movie?"
