This year marks the 20th anniversary of the release of “Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith’’ in cinemas and Disney has announed that the movie will be returning to the big screen on April 25th 2025 for a limited time, just in time for the May 4th celebrations.

“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.

The movie will be released in U.S. theatres and select international territories for one week only.  It 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.  

To go alongside the release, renowned graphic artist Matt Ferguson created an exciting new poster for the re-release event.

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.

You can watch “Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith’’ on Disney+ now, and hopefully, after the initial launch of the re-released version, they will upgrade the movie on Disney+ to feature higher quality versions.
