“Revenge of the Sith” is the third prequel to the original “Star Wars” trilogy. It continues the chronicle of young Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen), who eventually turns to the dark side and becomes Darth Vader.

As an avid superhero fan, Seth Cohen, the main character of “The O.C.” played by Adam Brody, would likely relish the event.

“The O.C.” airs Thursdays (8 p.m. ET).
