Look, I'll admit it—I was one of those old-school Star Wars fans who didn't immediately love the prequels. When Revenge of the Sith came out, I still had that "this isn't my Star Wars" feeling. But over the years, I've softened, and honestly? It's a great movie. Definitely the best of the prequels. And if you're going to watch it, there's no better way than on a giant screen, surrounded by fellow fans, reciting every meme-worthy line in unison.
Lucasfilm has announced that Revenge of the Sith is returning to theaters for one week only, starting April 25, in celebration of its 20th anniversary. And for the first time ever, it will be available in 4DX, meaning you can literally feel the Force (or at least some intense seat-rumbling action) as Anakin and Obi-Wan's duel plays out in front of you. The film will also screen in select international locations, though details on that are still incoming.
The timing of this announcement is also interesting, coming right after reports that Kathleen Kennedy is stepping down as president of Lucasfilm. But let's not get sidetracked—this is about Revenge of the Sith, the movie that gave us Order 66, the heartbreaking fall of Anakin Skywalker, and the most over-the-top, emotionally charged duel in Star Wars history.
No word yet on when tickets go on sale, so stay tuned and be ready to grab the high ground.
