The Star Wars Saga Ends Gracefully and Tragically With Revenge Of The Sith!!

Rating: 10/10 (11 July 2005)

Some Spoilers Ahead:
After six films, and nearly thirty years, the Star Wars saga, which is the most popular films in cinema history, ends once and for all, with it's tragic third episode, Revenge of the Sith.
I am happy to say that Revenge of the Sith is the prequel Star Wars fans have been waiting for!
For Star Wars, and for it's fans, the six episode saga has been a bumpy road, with the highest of highs, with the classic Star Wars, and the lowest of lows, with the first episode, The Phantom Menace, regarded by many as the worst Star Wars film, which chronicled the beginning of the saga by focusing on the younger Anakin Skywalker and Obi Wan Kenobi.
It was followed by 2002's Attack of the Clones, which was a big improvement, but followed by some moments of silly dialoge, and a very cheesy ending. However, once again, it was a big improvement over the awful Phantom Menace.
Thankfully, Star Wars Episode III, titled Revenge of the Sith, remedies many of the problems found in the first two episodes of the saga, and thankfully links perfectly with the classic trilogy started by Episode IV, A New Hope.
The three main characters of the Star Wars prequels, Anakin Skywalker, Padme Amidala, and Obi-Wan Kenobi show up for this tragic episode of the Star Wars saga. This time Anakin Skywalker is a full fledged jedi knight, and Obi-Wan Kenobi has been promoted as a member of the jedi council. Padme Amidala, now married to Anakin, is now pregnant with his children, and a full fledged member of the galactic senate.
The things that have changed the most from the previous episode is that the galaxy is in full battle of the clone wars between the separtist forces and the armies of the galactic empire.
The thing I liked most about Revenge of the Sith is that the tragic events that unfold in this film take center stage, and childish jokes and outbursts are put on the sidelines for a much darker and much more enjoyable final episode of the Star Wars saga.
For the first time in decades, I knew that I was watching Star Wars again, and I throughly enjoyed it, as well as seeing Darth Vader on the big screen for the first time in decades.
This is by far my favorite of the three Star Wars prequels, and I think that George Lucas has done a great job of wrapping things up in his fantastic science fiction saga!
Of course, as dark as events transpire in this episode, thankfully they are followed by the three films of the classic trilogy known and loved by millions of Star Wars fans around the world, which wraps things up completely in the saga!
An 8 on a scale of 1-10! Thanks for thirty years of great science fiction, George!
