Star Wars at it's full potential

Rating: 10/10 (20 May 2005)

Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith brings the series to a justified close. From the opening star fighting scenes all the way up to the battle between Ani and Obi this movie just feels different than the other prequels.
I was a fan of both Episode 1 and Episode 2, but never really felt that these previous works maximized the potential that this epic saga had and displayed in the first trilogy. The moodiness and much darker tones of Episode 3 really turns that potential into kinetic cinema that can be remembered fondly.
While watching the scenes of Ani turning into Vader piece by piece were stunning as well as the sequence where most of the Jedi are killed. Lucas finally grips the audience with a mature masterpiece to be proud of. He invites the audience into the struggles of philosophy, the pain of heartbreak, and the glimmers of hope.
Not to give too much away, but the battle between the emperor and Yoda is just amazing and something that I as a fan of the series have been anxious to see for years. Cheers to Mr. Lucas for bringing it home right and showing everyone that he is a master at his craft.
