“Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith” Set to Return to Theaters for 20th Anniversary This Spring

It's over, Anakin.

20 years ago this May, the final film in the Star Wars prequel trilogy– namely Episode III - Revenge of the Sith– hit theaters, bringing the saga of Anakin Skywalker to a close for the time being. And now, in honor of the movie’s two-decade anniversary, it will return to theaters this April.

What’s happening:

  • Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005) will be getting a one-week-only revival theatrical run this April in celebration of its 20th anniversary.
  • Several different formats will be available for these screenings, including 4DX for the very first time.
  • Acclaimed fan-favorite artist Matthew Ferguson has returned to create new poster art, just as he did for the recent Return of the Jedi 40th anniversary and Episode I - The Phantom Menace 25th anniversary revivals.

What they’re saying:

  • StarWars.com: “From the exhilarating battles over the planet of Coruscant to the fiery volcanic high grounds of Mustafar, relive this pivotal chapter in the Skywalker saga; the 4DX experience features high-tech motion chairs that sync with over 21 effects, all designed to complement the narrative of the film."
  • Artist Matthew Ferguson: “The space battle and Mustafar elements are all really complicated, with way more ships and explosions than on my other Star Wars posters. It's the movie where it all really unravels for Anakin."

Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith will return to theaters on Friday, April 25th.
