EATONTOWN, N.J. (AP) - "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.http://9news.com/acm_news.aspx?OSGNAME=...D=b010ff41-ac1f-02c5-0009-00c014346932
