Really?
Because I was witness--twice-- to a brilliant and pleasing spectacle of pilgrimage. It was better than any quasi-homoerotic Heston epic. <sing>When Obi-Wan in Graumann's line... let my Jedi go!</sing>
I was driving past Hollywood and Vine on my way to pick up Tom when I spotted them. Blocks of them, wandering in the concrete desert. Aliens holding hands with Jedi! Hipsters and Siths marching together! And a little Storm Trooper shall lead them. I noticed that many who were sans-costume sported sporting shirts that said "liningup.org"-- the official charity sponsor of the line at the Chinese.
Too tickled at having seen the latter-day Israelites in their full robes and regalia, I spun back in that direction once I had Tom in the passenger seat, and we caught them just as they arrived at the Arclight, where they would await their midnight manna.
