Long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away, the most anticipated Star Wars movie started production. Star Wars, Revenge of the Sith, opened nationwide early Thursday morning, just after midnight.

Hundreds of fans waited in line Wednesday in Tulsa to watch the movie and 6 in the Morning reporter Omar Villafranca was at the Cinemark Theater at US highway 169 and 71st Street with reaction.

The theatre was packed with Star Wars fans waiting to see the 3rd episode of the saga and the last movie of the series. Hundreds of fans dressed up as characters as they always do when a new Star Wars movie comes out. There were plenty of Jediâ€™s in line, as well as some of the dark side characters.

There's been a lot of hype for Revenge of the Sith, and most of the fans we talked to say it's bitter sweet. Star Wars fan Paul Zelenski: â€œwhen Star Wars comes up, I'm prepared to cry like a little girl, because you know, its the last time we're going to see that in the theaters and it's going to be.â€

Most of the fans we talked to said they thought the movie was a little depressing but that they still liked it. Depressing because of the story is emotional and it's also the last star wars movie. But they say this movie fills in all the missing holes in the story line.
