Lucasfilm has announced Episode III: Revenge of the Sith will get a theatrical re-release to celebrate its 20th anniversary!
As many expected (hoped), George Lucas’ iconic Prequel Trilogy finale, Revenge of the Sith, is getting a re-release in theaters for it’s 20th anniversary. Lucasfilm made the news official this morning by revealing a STUNNING new poster from Matt Ferguson (who’s done the other anniversary posters) and an April 25th release date. Even better, it’s been updated to allow for a 4DX experience!
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.
“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 unveil 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.
Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith returns to theaters on April 25, 2025.
