Return to Revenge of the Sith

After “Episode I” had followed “Episode VI” as an “anniversary theatrical re-release” (and scotched a certain residual suspicion the people at Disney would go only so far in acknowledging the Star Wars movies they’d bought as opposed to making themselves), I’d taken note of certain speculations as to what anniversary might be marked next. I’ll admit to once again pondering how two “divisible by five” marks would show up in the same year, even if I’d seen a comment or two about a “fortieth anniversary” re-release of The Empire Strikes Back back when it might only have been able to have been shown at the residue of drive-in theatres that had endured to that point. To be brief, I also have to admit that as we got closer to the next anniversary there were certain troubling thoughts of “the fall of the Republic” being too ominous an event to put on movie screens. However, a “twentieth anniversary” re-release wound up being announced for Revenge of the Sith, and I bought a ticket only to then recall certain dire predictions (not about the movie) from twenty years ago too.
