One metachlorian short of a Jedi…

One last, long campout for ‘the Star Wars guy’

Jeff Tweiten lives on a periwinkle blue, fold-out futon on the sidewalk in front of the Cinerama Theatre.

He is not homeless, but camping out for 139 days. Waiting.

For Godot, you wonder? An organ transplant? The end of the world?

Jeff Tweiten is already waiting in line outside the Cinerama in downtown Seattle for the next “Star Wars” film.

Tweiten is waiting for “Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith,” which opens May 19.

One correction: if you are camping out for 139 days waiting for the next Star Wars movie, you are unemployed, not a graphic artist.
