Two Minnesota brothers are making news because of what they plan to do with the theater they rented out for the premiere of the new Star Wars movie. When 17 year-old Alex Huot from Rosemount found out that the new movie would open the week before Christmas he came up with a great idea to help out his community.  With a little help from his big brother and their parents the high-school senior rented out the entire theater (97 seats) and created a facebook page to invite his friends to the first screening. Instead of charging admission though he's asking his friends to bring a toy or a cash donation to be used for toys to deliver to less fortunate kids this Christmas.
