"Revenge of the Sith is a remarkable movie, and this extraordinary celebration reflects the fun and excitement that are the hallmarks of Star Wars," said the movie’s producer, Rick McCallum.

"The Star Wars movies have a strong connection to the United Kingdom, so it’s very fitting to hold this one-of-a-kind event here in London."
