Which wine to pair with "Revenge of the Sith"?

Anthony Daniels - the man inside the C-3PO suit - has some suggestions. Red wine. To be precise:

"I think it would be a rather heavy Merlot or Syrah -- though maybe Syrah would be too rounded. It's got very spiky moments, so maybe something with a bit more tannin -- a rather tannic red, I think. Slightly uncomfortable, this film, rather dark. Yes, so I think a rather heavy, tannic red. Mmm," Daniels says sagely.

Champagne while you're waiting in line, and for the beginning of the movie. But halfway through, "hit the red in a major way."

I dunno: since this movie is about the Fall of Anakin, perhaps one of the deadly Zins would be more appropriate.
