Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith turns twenty this year, and is celebrating by lighting the box office on fire.

Matt Ferguson’s poster has a very Sith-like red-and-black color palette. The centerpiece of this illustration is Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) as he embraces his destiny as Darth Vader. This is especially evident as the helmet of the Dark Lord of the Sith looms behind him. Another great detail showcased in this poster is Anakin’s fateful duel with his former master, Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) on the planet Mustafar. You can also see several starships in battle as the Clone Wars come to a close.
