The merge is complete

Rating: 8/10 (20 May 2007)

Aaaand Cut! That's a wrap. The greatest trilogy in history has finally been connected to the prequels. All loose ends have been tied and plot holes filled. Of the three prequels, Revenge of the Sith has to be the best. Sadly, that is not saying much, because I was largely disappointed by the prequels. But, then again, how do you follow up three absolute cutting edge, revolutionary, and ground breaking movies without disappointing? Yeah, Lucas had a huge task in front of him.
Still, in this final installment, it all came together quite nicely. Sure we could have done without that big lizard type creature that Obi Wan was riding, but hasn't there been a forgettable creature in every one of the three prequels? I'm just glad I got to see everything I was waiting for: that being the Dark Side and how they claimed power, the end of the jedis, the birth and subsequent dispersement of Luke and Leia, the creation of the emperor, and of course, the creation of Darth Vader. The mere appearance of Darth Vader propels a movie to epic status.
Alas, the last movie has been run and now fan boys like myself have nothing more to look forward to. I guess it is back to re-watching the original three and re-acquainting myself with my favorite characters.
