This is still the movie I have seen in theaters more than any other. We were THAT hard-up for new content after the post-ROTJ fallow years. Shit, I thought THIS had some rewatch value to it.

These "returning to theaters for X anniversary" things are dumb af.

I own the fuckin movie. Why the fuck would I pay money, to sit in a theatre with a couple dozen other people, when I could just watch it at home and A) Not spend any unnecessary money and B) Not deal with other people who could potentially interrupt/disrupt my viewing experience!?

Edit: Enjoy your overpriced ticket with overpriced snacks. You're exactly why the media industry sucks ass.

That's a longer period of time than when the first movie released until Phantom Menace... dam I'm old.

Wait, again? Didn't they already try to put it back in theaters a few years ago, by releasing it in 3D?

(well they wanted to do the entire prelogy but abandonned when the first one failed I think)

probably the 20th anniversary? I guess we can expect this every 5 years..

Fun story I’ve told on Reddit previously. I got to sing in a John Williams tribute concert with my local symphony orchestra years ago. On the last day of our performance, I convinced the basses around me to sing “Corn on the cob, corn on the kebab” (though I like corncob much more).

I’m singing in a Star Wars specific concert this May. Might try the same shenanigans!
