STAR WARS
Episode III
Revenge of the Sith
It has been a dark time for Star
Wars fans. Energized by the Episode I
trailer, fans raced to the theaters, only
to be displeased beyond belief.
3 years later, Episode II was released, and
though it improved on the latest movie, it was
still a displeasure to many.
Yet now, the great GEORGE LUCAS has set out to redeem
his failures, and bring order to a universe that has
been in turmoil for many years....
All I can say is that it was good from the Fox/Lucasfilm drumroll to the final explosion of music for the end credits. Despite slight bad acting, some corny dialogue, and droids with voices that abruptly changed for the worse, and perhaps some other things that others might complain about, the movie had its definite ups. This is the one everyone wanted--this is the ultimate Star Wars movie. From the opening space battle to the climactic lightsaber duel, from the mush to the music, from the laughs to the tears, the movie accomplishes all that was expected. Foreshadowing, conclusions, and basic stage-setting, this movie will have fans running to watch the original movie one more time. This is Star Wars at its grandest--the space opera that takes your breath away. For over a thousand days the Star Wars prequels were the targets of jokes and slander in the movie industry. Before the third movie. Before the conclusion. An young director named George Lucas, who was a little-known director before he formed Star Wars, has helped create the greatest movie saga of all time. Lucas was seduced by the dark side of the movies, some said--but now, he has returned. He has returned for revenge. At last he has revealed his skills to the Republic. At last we have Revenge.
