STAR Wars fans with a very great deal of time on their hands who somehow have not seen all the movies quite enough will be thrilled to hear that Hoyts is celebrating Star Wars Day (May the 4th, say it out loud) with a two part movie marathon of all six movies.
May 3 will see the consecutive screening of the newer prequels which puts the more widely admired final three movies onto centre stage for the big day.
More details are available on the Hoyts website.
For a trip down memory lane here’s the original 1977 trailer to Episode IV, notably missing the digital remastering effects.

“If you’ve got two people working, paying a mortgage, raising two or three kids, they don’t have the time,” says Vanessa.
Vanessa says the lack of attention quieter places such as Higgins is receiving is starting to look a lot like favouritism.
