What better way to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Episode III than heading to the flicks and watching it on the big screen, and that’s exactly what we’ll be doing the week that Celebration Japan ends and Andor: A Star Wars Story kicks off. With poster art once again by Matt Ferguson, Revenge of the Sith will return to theaters in the US and selected international territories on 25th April, bringing the final chapter of the prequel trilogy back to the big screen just like The Phantom Menace did last year for its 25th anniversary.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the premiere of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, the final film in the prequel trilogy, Episode III will be re-released in theaters on April 25, 2025, running in select U.S. theaters and international territories for one week only. Screenings will be available in several formats, including, for the first time, 4DX. From the exhilarating battles over the planet of Coruscant to the fiery volcanic high grounds of Mustafar, relive this pivotal chapter in the Skywalker saga; the 4DX experience features high-tech motion chairs that sync with over 21 effects, all designed to complement the narrative of the film.
Once again, renowned graphic artist Matt Ferguson created new poster art for the re-release event, his most complicated work to date. Featuring the looming mask of Darth Vader enveloping Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) on his march to execute Order 66, the sprawling piece also includes Ferguson’s artistic illustration of the life-changing lightsaber duel between Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) and Anakin and the Coruscant skyline featuring warships over the burning Jedi Temple.
