>many, but think that primarily:
LucasFilm is releasing it in over 3,000 THX approved theaters and their
equivalents (SDDS, etc.). The "official" reason is that THX has added a new
center channel speaker to their sound system, and they don't want the film
shown in sub-par theaters. Sells a lot of speakers too....
On a related note, theaters who reveived the SW trailer also received a note
which said that LucasFilm knows how many trailers were sent to each theater,
and if any are not returned those theaters will not be given the full
trailer (Jan-Feb '99), or possible even be allowed to show the movie!
