Return of the Sith

Rating: 10/10 (22 May 2005)

He did it! After 2 prequels that left many fans underwhelmed, George Lucas ended the Star Wars series with a film that's fits very nicely with A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. It's that good. Nearly every fault that could be found with The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones has been addressed. Better acting (Hayden and Natalie actually seem like a couple in love, Ewan McGregor nails many of scenes with a dead on Guiness impersonation, and Ian McDiarmad is the perfect over the top villain), better pacing, more intense drama, a Jar Jar that is seen and not heard, genuinely funny comic relief by R2, and last but not least, the birth of Vader. It's as good a bridge to A New Hope as we could have hoped for.
