(Michael T. Santos)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Star Wars fans rejoiced upon the release of the newest fanboy movie, Rogue One: A Star Wars Movie on island. Some were more excited than others after winning free tickets for the movie\u2019s premiere, sponsored by Aloha Maid and Royal Mill last Thursday at Regal Theatres.<\/p>\n<p>Winners won four tickets each along with a $35 gift card for concession purposes just by purchasing six packs of Aloha Maid or four packs of Royal Mills Coffee. <\/p>\n<p>Guy Pudney, resident manager for Marpac Inc., said, \u201cThis is just a way for us to give back to our customers. It\u2019s also a way for us to team up with wonderful organizations like Regal Theatres to promote a hit movie so many people enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aloha Maid drinks were also given away for free at the premiere. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s just a way to promote our drinks as well as give the winners the chance to use the gift cards for food at the concession stand,\u201d Pudney said. <\/p>\n<p>Ivan Ilmov, president of the Rotary Club Saipan, said, \u201cMy daughter and I really love Star Wars. It\u2019s amazing to be able to be one of the first people to see it on island.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Anastastia Ilmov said, \u201cI really enjoyed the movie and what Aloha Maid did was very nice. I also thought the drinks they provided were so delicious.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s an amazing thing Aloha did for the community. The moment we got in, staff were offering us drinks and asking if we needed anything,\u201d Ivan Ilmov said.<\/p>\n<p>Mount Carmel School president Galvin Deleon Guerrero said, \u201cI think the promo was great! I actually saw a couple people who wanted the tickets but weren\u2019t Star Wars fans. I find that this event may just bring in more support to both the company of Aloha and the Star Wars franchise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Deleon Guerrero has been a fan of Star Wars since he was 6 years old and even dressed up as Obi-Wan Kenobi, a Jedi character from the franchise.<\/p>\n<p>The movie premiere marks the last promotional event for Aloha in 2016. More are in the works for the beginning of the following year.
