Read it here first

If you are a Star Wars fan -- even if you're not -- you might be interested in the latest Star Wars movie: "Episode III -- Revenege of the Sith." It won't open until May 19 (tickets are already for sale at some Ventura County theatres) but our Brett Johnson (bjohnson@VenturaCountyStar.com), one of our features writers, got an early viewing. His review will appear in tomorrow's Star. No hint on what he thinks. Well. Maybe a little one: He's checking out the office thesaurus for synonyms for "wow."

Also on Page One tomorrow we're planning coverage of the CIF meeting today where the governing board of high school athletics in California will debate adopting a new bylaw banning steroids. Sports writer Derry Eads (deads@VenturaCountyStar.com) is on the scene and will be reporting.

Then off the wire, there are a number of stories we're talking about for page one: The latest report out of Mexico that Mexicans living aborad sent $4 billion home in the first quarter of this year, a 20 percent increase over the same period a year ago; the annual report on babyi names, showing that Jacob and Emily have a lock in the No. 1 spot on that list; and more on Anna Ayala, the woman who reported finding the finger in the Wendy's chili.
