Is there a new Star Wars movie opening after midnight this evening? If you’re asking that question, you must have had your head in the sand for the past month. “Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith”, one of the most anticipated movies of the year, is expected to do well at the box office as well as do a number on office productivity. Tomorrow alone, the film’s opening is going to cost an estimated $627 million in lost productivity, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas. You may need the Force to get anything accomplished that relies on the help of a Star Wars fan.
