Title: Revenge Of The Sith - 20th Anniversary Re-release
Post by: Nicklab on April 27, 2025, 08:00 AM

I was surprised to see that this was not being discussed.  But seeing "Revenge Of The Sith" in the theaters again to celebrate the 20th anniversary of its release is something pretty remarkable.

I went to see it this past Friday night.  The presentation at the theater I went to on Friday night was amazing! Such great sound and the movie looked fantastic. I was pleasantly surprised to see so many enthusiastic and relatively young cosplayers in attendance - and they had the good judgement to NOT light up their lightsabers until they were outside of the theater. The Vader helmet popcorn bucket looked cool, but I couldn't justify it at $45. Still, the intro by Hayden Christensen was a very nice touch.  And evidently he and Samuel L. Jackson both turned up at one screening.

The unfortunate takeaways? Some fans really need to be more mindful of their hygiene. Please, guys - regular bathing, deodorant and doing your laundry aren't difficult life skills. ALSO? A movie theater is not your living room. I don't need to hear you recite the dialogue like it's Rocky Horror.

My oldest and I went last night and sat in the DBOX seats.  If you have that option, I highly recommend it!

Was this something before the screening?  My son and I went yesterday and the screening started 20 minutes late and there was nothing before the film, not even any of the advertising or previews.

We went last night - I couldn't resist.  Fun to see it in theaters again but not fun to be reinded that it's been 20 years!  Man we are all getting old...

At our showing it was after all the previews/crap at the beginning, right before the 20th Fox searchlights opening.  Agree that it's kind of cool that all the kids who grew up with ROTS are lifting Hayden up for the role as opposed to all the angry 30-year olds back in the day who hated Jake/Hayden so much for not being "the perfect Anakin".

It makes me very happy as a day one prequels apologist that these guys are finally getting their flowers.
