Rating: 10/10 (14 January 2012)

George Lucas draws the Star Wars film series to a close with this dark sci-fi adventure which sets the stage for the events of the first film and brings the saga full circle.Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith is an epic space opera film written and directed by George Lucas. It is the sixth and final film released in the Star Wars saga and the third in terms of the series' internal chronology.
The film takes place three years after the onset of the Clone Wars. The Jedi Knights are spread out across the galaxy leading a massive clone army in the war against the Separatists.After a fierce battle in which Obi-Wan and Anakin join Republic forces to help free Chancellor Palpatine from the evil Count Dooku and his minions, Anakin is drawn into Palpatine's confidence. Palpatine has designs on expanding his rule, and with this in mind he plants seeds of doubt in Anakin's mind about the strength and wisdom of the Jedis. Anakin is already in a quandary about how to reveal to others the news of his secret marriage to Padmé Amidala now that she is pregnant, and visions which foretell her death in childbirth weigh heavy on his mind. As Anakin finds himself used by both the Jedis and the Republic for their own purposes -- particularly after Mace Windu expresses his distrust of the young Jedi - - he turns more and more to the Force for help, but begins to succumb to the temptations of its dark side. The Jedi Council dispatches Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi to eliminate the evil General Grievous, leader of the Separatist Army. Meanwhile, Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, separated from Kenobi, his former master, grows close to Palpatine, the Chancellor of the Galactic Republic and, unbeknown to the public, a Sith Lord. Their deepening friendship proves dangerous for the Jedi Order, the galaxy, and Anakin himself, who inevitably succumbs to the Dark Side of the Force and becomes Darth Vader.
A grave and vigorous popular entertainment, a picture that regains and sustains that Lucas had dreamed up a long time ago, in a movie industry that seems far, far away.They did really save the best for last.Many of the Star Wars series regulars returned for Revenge of the Sith, including Frank Oz as the voice of Yoda, Anthony Daniels as C-3PO, Kenny Baker as R2-D2, and Peter Mayhew as Chewbacca.Sith succeeds in providing a satisfying ending to the films as Anakin Skywalker begins his journey to the Dark Side.It was the best-looking Star Wars episode of all, if not the most exciting, most imaginative or most affecting.In summary,this sixth and final installment of George Lucas' epic space opera will please die-hard fanatics and non-believers alike -- largely due to awesome digital effects and the sheer power of the mythology wherein a relatively thoughtful story about a young man meant for greatness but corrupted by his own fear and confusion is told.
