The Cast of 'Revenge of the Sith' & Their Canine Companions
If you’re a “Star Wars” fan, you’re well aware “Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith” has been re-released in theaters for its 20th anniversary. You best believe I bought tickets this weekend to re-live Anakin Skywalker going to the dark side. Unfortunately, my dog didn’t come, even though Padmé Amidala is her number one style icon (she’s banned from theaters for undisclosed reasons).
Anyway, in celebration of two decades of ROTS, we're spotlighting some of the biggest dog lovers in the movie’s cast.
Without further ado, here are the cast of ROTS and their adorable dogs. In the words of Obi-wan, “Let the fun begin!”

Temuera Morrison expertly portrayed all the clone troopers, making Order 66 very hard to watch. The “Boba Fett” actor is a proud pup parent to a dog named Zeus.

Confession – growing up, I was afraid of Hayden Christensen because of his convincing portrayal of Anakin Skywalker aka Darth Vader. Thankfully, he seems like a very nice man, unlike his “Star Wars” counterpart. In fact, he is a major animal lover.
In a recent interview, he noted that he has “kept quite a few animals” on his farm, including a few dogs. He shared a humorous story about having two pregnant dogs, who ended up having 14 puppies in total at one time.
