'Last Jedi' Screening Glitch Starts Near-Riot in Burbank ~ amazing movies

Star Wars: The Last Jedi L to R: Finn (John Boyega) battling Captain Phasma (Gwendoline Christie) Photo: Lucasfilm Ltd. Â© 2017 Lucasfilm Ltd. All Rights Reserved. After waiting months to finally see "Star Wars: The Last Jedi," fans were beyond pissed when the sound went out at an IMAX screening in Burbank, California. They stormed into the lobby, demanding that the theater restart the movie. They were not happy when told the theater wouldn't do that. Ultimately, the police had to be called in.

Fans captured some of the mayhem on their phones. Their language is, understandably, NSFW.

@KTLAMorningNews https://t.co/VZnSc8G3Hg This is a link of a YouTube video taken at AMC Burbank 16 for a screening of The Last Jedi, and a near riot occurred due to audio failure in the movie. The manager threatened everyone to leave, then they called Burbank PD.

Burbank 16- first 10 minutes of Jedi without dialog. They refused to restart the movie because it would throw off the schedule for the theater. Why not skip the 20 minutes of previews for the next screening then? Ruined it. Big let down. Almost started a riot. #yousuckamc

On a more humorous note, one fan tweeted that at least some of the cops received some "Star Wars" pointers from the angry crowd.

CBS reports that Burbank police were called to the theater at about 10:21 p.m. to disperse "an unruly crowd." None of the options the theater offered -- refunds, being moved to a non-IMAX screening, or to return Friday for another screening -- were what ticked-off moviegoers wanted to hear.

According to the Daily News, only the IMAX screening was experiencing technical difficulties.
