Great news for anyone enjoying the historical rhymes between the Star Wars prequel trilogy and our current political moment: Episode III—Revenge Of The Sith is returning to theaters for one week this April. It’s the continuing story of our band of heroes, including Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Padmé Amidala, C-3PO, R2-D2, and Chewbacca for one scene in which Yoda reveals he’s known Chewbacca this whole time. Hear Supreme Chancellor Palpatine tell Anakin the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise and recoil in fear as he [pause to suppress tears] kills younglings [place hand over mouth in shock]. Yes, your favorite adventures from, let’s say, the seventh or eighth-best film in the series are here. It’s an epic of bureaucracy, ethnic cleansing, and using your new powers to save your wife from dying of a broken heart.
This may be the only chance the scruffy-looking nerf herders of the fanbase have to see Revenge Of The Sith in 4DX, featuring “high-tech motion chairs that sync with over 21 effects, all designed to complement the narrative of the film.” One doesn’t need the Force to predict how much those chairs will shake during Mon Calamari’s performance of “Squid Lake.”
