At this point, pretty much every Star Wars fan remembers the latest Star Wars movie premiere, The Rise of Skywalker, in 2019. But the most meaningful Star Wars premiere is the first one they remember, whether it was an original movie, prequel, or sequel.
The first Star Wars premiere I remember actually came before I’d seen any Star Wars movies. In 2005, everyone was suddenly talking about Revenge of the Sith, some sort of once-in-a-generation sci-fi movie with a long legacy. I didn’t get to see it in theaters, as my parents deemed it “too violent” for my 7-year-old sensibilities. Thankfully, I — and fans just like me — will get another opportunity to witness the prequel trilogy’s epic conclusion in theaters, and just in time for the film’s 20th anniversary.
