The Return of a Classic to the Big Screen
Lucasfilm has announced that Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith will return to select theaters worldwide for a limited one-week engagement starting April 25, 2025. This special event celebrates the 20th anniversary of one of the most pivotal entries in the Star Wars saga.
Originally released on May 19, 2005, Revenge of the Sith is the climactic conclusion to the prequel trilogy. Directed by George Lucas, it chronicles Anakin Skywalker’s descent into darkness and his transformation into Darth Vader. The fall of the Jedi Order and the rise of the Galactic Empire are captured in this action-packed, emotionally intense chapter that set the stage for the original trilogy.
What to Expect from the 2025 Re-Release
The anniversary re-release will offer exclusive 4DX screenings in participating theaters. This immersive format includes motion-enabled seating and synchronized environmental effects that bring Revenge of the Sith to life like never before.
In addition to the updated cinematic experience, new promotional materials are being released. Notably, artist Matt Ferguson has created a commemorative poster showcasing scenes like the battle on Mustafar between Anakin and Obi-Wan, and the iconic reveal of Darth Vader.
Tickets are available now via Fandango, and chains such as AMC, Cinemark, and Alamo Drafthouse are participating in the screenings. For the most current updates, visit the official StarWars.com.
Revisiting Revenge of the Sith’s Impact
Revenge of the Sith has long been considered one of the most emotional and defining entries in the franchise. It bridges the innocence of the Republic era with the oppressive dominance of the Empire. The tragic story of Anakin Skywalker remains a powerful metaphor for loss, manipulation, and the choices that shape destiny.
This re-release offers a chance for a new generation of fans to experience it theatrically, many for the first time. It’s also an opportunity for longtime followers to relive key moments on the big screen — from General Grievous’s duel to Order 66’s chilling execution.
