According to Best Buy’s Geek Squad, a computer customer support group, many people skipped work and school to watch the first two prequels of Star Wars. Whether that’s true or not, as the May 19th release date approaches, the GeekSqaud is latching on to this last, great movie in the Star Wars franchise by providing a feature where students and employees can customize their own excuse notes to send to their teachers and bosses.
