PT Revenge of the Sith Turns 20!

This May, Revenge of the Sith turns 20...yes you read that right, 20 (I've double and triple checked the math)! To celebrate, we will be doing some fun things in the PT forum over the next few months including trivia and a banner contest as we've done for past anniversaries. Stay tuned for more news on those coming soon! If there is interest we could set up a group watch of the movie in May as well. If anyone has any other ideas on how to celebrate here on the boards please let me know!

In the meantime, please use this thread to share any of your thoughts and memories related to ROTS. Did you see it in theaters? On opening night? Multiple times? What do you remember of the promotions/commercials around that time? Have your thoughts on the movie changed over the past 20 years?

 

One of the first things I really remember is going to see The Incredibles on opening night (I had planned to anyways) and getting to see the teaser trailer. I was both annoyed that a lot of it was scenes from previous movies and excited by what new footage we did get (Vader in the suit!).



I also remember being a little let down by the teaser poster but it was going to be hard to top the AOTC one.

 

War!

 

Oh I had forgotten about those! I feel like that first one was on TV a lot.

 

Anyone else remember paying a fee to starwars.com for behind the scenes footage?

I…did that. DarthBreezy and I were in London in the spring of 2004 when some of the footage dropped, and we ended up in an Internet cafe to log in and look at it.

I got pregnant later that year. Kiddo was due May 28th. My coworkers suggested that I use my pregnancy to line-jump on opening night. That didn’t happen; kiddo came a couple of weeks early. My uncle came to see me in the hospital and said, ‘You need to get out soon so you can go see that Star Wars movie.’

My husband and I went to see that Star Wars movie in August before it left theaters altogether.

 

I remember it being a thing but I didn't spend money to do it since I was a poor college student.
