I Watched Revenge of the Sith in Iraq—And Its Message Hit Harder Than Any Theater Experience

My first vivid memory of a movie is when I watched “Return of the Jedi” in the cinema at around four years old. To this day, whenever I hear the original ending music, which includes the “Yub Nub” Ewok song and the final fanfare, it triggers a strong sensory memory from that initial viewing. I recall the mixture of joy and sadness I felt – the joy of witnessing something extraordinary and the sadness because it was coming to an end. Despite some criticisms of the prequel trilogy shared by my peers, I never developed a dislike for those films. In fact, any new addition to “Star Wars” was cherished by that little boy, including the Original Trilogy Special Editions, which unfortunately removed the musical cue that marked my personal “Star Wars” history. Interestingly, I had only seen “Episode III” on a smaller screen. Watching George Lucas’s film about the Iraq War while being in Iraq myself was equally impactful.
