Rises the franchise to epic point

Rating: 8/10 (23 January 2006)

Knowing George Lucas as we all know him, is very odd (and with I mean, great) to see such a dark movie about the Star Wars saga. This final chapter is when the light goes, the brightness and positiveness flies away from that far away galaxy, and the fairy tale turns into a devil nightmare.
Anakin's final destination is one of the most poetic moments in this now epic Saga of movies, very well performed by Hayden Christiansen, closing that un-easy relationship with his mentor Obi Wan and his love, Padme. There is no part in this movie where the light is present.
The starting battle is all full or red, browns and blacks, not a single part of bright blue, green or white. Not very brainy dialogs, but when you are flying across huge spaceships with everything exploding around you, words are unnecessary.
Following Lucas narrative style, this movie is the final part of a poem, it rhythms with all the previous ones. Anakin Vs Dooku, being watched by Cancellor Palpatine, like what happened (or what's going to happen) between Darth Vader and Luke in Return of the Jedi).
To finish, is needful to say that George Lucas' work on this movie is very personal. There are visual effects all over the film, that's right, but action is always focused in the characters, their faces, their suffering and pain, knowing that the end is already there.
