LOS ANGELES (AP) A lot of people are seeing "Star Wars: Episode 2 - Attack of the Clones" this Sunday and, when they do, they'll be raising money for charity. Instead of one big premiere like most movies, there are eleven different premieres on Sunday in eleven cities across the U.S. and Canada. Each premiere is a fund-raiser for a different children's charity.
