Now that the screenshots and story have been leaked here. It is noteworthy to point out that the film will be showcased for viewing at the Cannes Film Festival May 11-22.
Read the story here:
February 18, 2005 - Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith will open the 58th Cannes Film Festival. According to This Is London, a deal was recently struck after months of negotiations between Star Wars creator George Lucas and festival coordinators. Festival De Cannes takes place May 11th-22nd in the south of France.
The UK-based website is also reporting that Ewan McGregor may be in attendance. McGregor is preparing to star in Michael Grandage's new London stage version of Guys and Dolls at the Piccadilly Theatre.
If you're not on the Cannes guest list then you'll have to wait until May 19th (in most countries) to see Revenge of the Sith.
The final chapter of the Star Wars prequels takes place three years after the events of Attack of the Clones. The Clone Wars are nearly at an end as the Jedi Council dispatches Obi-Wan (McGregor) to bring General Grevious, the deadly leader of the Separatist droid army, to justice. Meanwhile, back on Coruscant, Chancellor Palpatine has grown in power. His sweeping political changes transform the war-weary Republic into the mighty Galactic Empire. To his closest ally, Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen), he reveals the true nature of power and the promised secrets of the Force in an attempt to lure him to the dark side.
I better get my sleep. I'll be up all night waiting for the first screening here in L.A.
