Between the Family Guy take on it and Star Wars Detours (not that we ever got to see that), I think that's already been covered.

I hope they do it worldwide. It was the only Prequel I didn't watch in theaters.First poster for the 20th anniversary of ‘REVENGE OF THE SITH’The film will be re-released in theaters on April 25.
It reminds me of ZZ Top's "Rough Boy" video.

More thoughts Part 2 The Movies
The Force Awakens:
The opening scene where Finn gets a bloody hand print on his helmet, and Kylo freezes a Lazer bolt in mid air has more iconic moments than the entire prequel trilogy.
A fantastic film from start to finish.
Still the highest grossing film at the US domestic box office (although, I think it's still the most expensive movie ever made as well).
Rogue One:
I thought this film was a bit of a mess, but managed to pull it together in the third act.
The Bleakness of the ending was something I never expected from a Disney film.
Ben Mendelsohn gives one of the best performances in a Star Wars film to date, and I can't wait to see him back in the role for Season 2 of Andor.
The Last Jedi:
A great film that does an excellent job exploring the deconstruction of myth, legend and idols.
I liked the Force connection between Rey and Kylo, I think it's one of the more interesting additions to the lore.
I might be the only person that actually liked the Canto Bight scene, the idea that there are people profiting from the wars part of Star 'Wars' by selling weapons/ships to both sides seems like a worthwhile point to make.
There's another great messages in the film: 'That's how we're going to win. Not by fighting what we hate. But saving what we love' A point I think may have been missed by the Youtube grifters who made 4 hour long videos of all the things they didn't understand in the film.
Oh, did I mention how beautiful this film is. Just take the battle on Crait in the third act. Absolutely stunning.
Solo: A Star Wars Story:
What could have been? I'll always wonder what the film would have been like if Lord and Miller hadn't been replaced. That said, I thought Ron Howard did a good job.
It's a shame that he film didn't do better, (I'll never understand the studio releasing the film a few months after the backlash to Last Jedi, instead of waiting until Christmas as had been the release schedule up until this point.) hopefully we still get a movie or series with Donald Glover returning as Lando because that was some perfect casting.
Rise of Skywalker:
Another visual masterpiece. This film was set the impossible task of tying together everything that came before, while reworking things after the death of Carrie Fisher. It tries to pack as much Star Wars as it can into every frame of every shot, for better or worse.
I love how JJ used the Force Connection between Rey and Kylo introduced by Rian in the previous film.
I thought this movie really nailed the Space Opera genre.
Also this moment, seen here recreated in Lego...
*disclaimer - this is all my humble opinion.

I didn't agree with the mess part - just that it was messy like what they were trying to do. This conveys the idea of a ragtag group that shouldn't succeed pulling it out in the end better than in A New Hope, IMO. The Darth Vader scene was truly a horror movie in a capsule, especially when you realize that the door wasn't stuck- Vader was holding it closed while he slaughtered the rebels. And I will say it's the only film that out-bleaks The Empire Strikes back, and is my favorite Star Wars movie outside of that one because it takes promise of hope, turn that on its head with a horrific ending, but still even in that low point bring forward a message that hope is eternal in spite of circumstances.
