Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith Returns to Theaters to Celebrate 20th Anniversary in April. Twenty years ago, “Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith” premiered, forever altering the galaxy far, far away. The film’s 20th anniversary reignites passionate discussions about its pivotal role in Anakin Skywalker’s tragic descent to Darth Vader. From the breathtaking lightsaber duels to the heart-wrenching Order 66, “Revenge of the Sith” delivered a dark and operatic conclusion to the prequel trilogy, leaving an indelible mark on cinematic history and solidifying its place as a cornerstone of the Star Wars saga.
Today, Lucasfilm announced the return of “Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith” to the big screen on April 25 to celebrate the film’s 20th anniversary. The film will run in U.S. theaters and select international territories for one week only and will be available in several formats, including, for the first time, 4DX. 4DX features high-tech motion chairs that sync with over 21 effects, all designed to complement the narrative of the film.
Renowned graphic artist Matt Ferguson created an exciting new poster for the re-release event.
“Revenge of the Sith” takes place years after the onset of the Clone Wars, when the noble Jedi Knights lead a massive clone army into a galaxy-wide battle against the Separatists. When the sinister Sith unveils a thousand-year-old plot to rule the galaxy, the Republic crumbles, and from its ashes rises the evil Galactic Empire. Jedi Hero Anakin Skywalker is seduced by the dark side of the Force to become the Emperor’s new apprentice – Darth Vader. The Jedi are decimated, as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jedi Master Yoda are forced into hiding.
The film stars Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman, Hayden Christensen, Ian McDiarmid, Frank Oz as Yoda, Jimmy Smits, Peter Mayhew, Ahmed Best, Oliver Ford Davies, Temuera Morrison, Anthony Daniels, Silas Carson, Kenny Baker with Samuel L. Jackson as Mace Windu and Christopher Lee as Count Dooku. George Lucas wrote and directed the film.
