We'll have Bud Light open up for Octoberfest while we're at it.

I'd rather see the Sith crumple Cannes on their foreheads, personally.

The Hoity-Toity will no doubt be sleepin on the sidewalk waiting for opening day.

That would be worth seeing

Ahhhh, the Cannes film festival. You shall never find a more retched hive of scum and villiany

It would also be funny to make references to Kevin Smith films as they have made so much reference to Star Wars. Having Darth Jay and Darth Bob (Silent Palpatine) selling weed to Wookies before, during, or after the battle or show a convience store during the construction of the Death Star called the Death Stop manned by two screwed up Storm Troopers named Dante and Randal.

If it sucks, will Lucas have to face the Wrath of Cannes?

Everyone it seems bitches and moans about these movies...then they go see the next one. Reminds me of an ex-girlfriend who would cover her eyes if a porn was on, but would watch through her fingers

Guess now we know which movie's going to get the prestigious Palm d'Merde this year.

Dammit George! You were supposed to be making a movie, not a Cannes-Opener!

This is not the movie you want to see.

Move along.
