Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith Review Summary
Finally, in 2005 George Lucas brought the final film (actually episode three when put in chronological order by story line) of the six movie series. Revenge of The Sith is the episode giddily awaited by all Star Wars geeks because we finally get to see how Anakin Skywalker became the dastardly Darth Vader. The film opened to generally strong reviews as most reflected one of our reviewers feelings that, "Although Episode III has more than a few flaws, Sith is the Prequel Episode that comes closest to replicating the pacing and spirit of the Classic Trilogy." Along with an engaging storyline, "Revenge of the Sith boasts some of the best special effects sequences of the saga" and "was the large amount of memorable scenes. Memorable and emotional scenes that were actually worth watching". While most felt that, like the first two prequels to the classic Star Wars trilogy, Revenge of The Sith isn't as strong as the first three films, almost all agree it is the best of the later movies and a fitting end to the series.

On Wednesday, May 19, 2005, exactly six years after the premiere of The Phantom Menace and almost 28 years after the first screening of Star Wars (a.k.a. Star Wars - Episode IV: A New Hope), I was among the millions of fans going to the movies to watch the final installment of George Lucas' popular...

The Case
Okay, we're all familiar with the legendary, and sometimes infamous, Star Wars films. We've all seen the movies - and if you haven't, I demand you stop reading and go watch them NOW! - we've all heard the quotes, we've all used the phrase "May the Force be with you." Wait - doesn't everyone...

A perfect example of how not letting go of past fear and loss can cause a person to change for the worst. As in Anakin's fear gripped him and held him so that nothing could be done to save the ones he cared about the most.
He totally gave in to not having any feelings other than rage. It took control and as a result he spent half... review »

I was 10 when I first saw 'Star Wars', three times in two days - back in the day when you could sit through a movie more than once for the same price. I've been hooked ever since.
'Sith' doesn't have some of the same elements of the original III, IV, V - but it's a darker time and more of back history - lots we already know from 20 years of trivia, books, and Cons.
I find Vadar/Skywalker a tragic character in the Shakespeare tradition and though the acting and chemistry between Padme & Anakin is a little stiff it does connect the dots.
As a child fan, I saw the movie through a child's...

There's only one thing that troubled me with Star Wars VI, and that was when Luke asked Leih what she remembered about thier mother. Because she said that her mother was very beautiful, but sad. And their mother died in episode III. And in my opinion I thought that Darth Vader in the previous movies were a lot better in his fighting techniques. And Luke could have inherited more monuvers in the last episode. All in all, I thought that Luke did what his father could not do and save the republic. And I loved the way that Darth Vader turned on the emperor to save his son from death.
Many people had problems with the prequel trilogy. Maybe it was justified, maybe it wasn't. But this movie did a great job connecting the days of the Old Republic with the days of The Empire.
Who would have ever thought that Skywalker joined the Dark Side for love? But that is what happened. We finally got to see how the jedi were demolished. The connections were great, the strory-telling was wonderful, and the fights were ones for the ages.
Check out this film!!
