Superb ending to a satisfying space adventure

Rating: 9/10 (27 May 2005)

A tremendously satisfying wrap-up to the Star Wars saga. Answered all the nagging questions about Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader and why he turned to the Dark Side of the Force. Anakin is the sympathetic villain. You wish you could change his fate but he has his destiny, as we all do. I am not a purist in regards to this series, so I was not nit-picky about whether this or that fact matched up exactly so. I watched it for the entertainment value and it was definitely a fun ride. John Williams' music was wonderful as always. I especially liked "Anakin vs. Obi-Wan" and the very sad "Anakin's Betrayal." My only disappointment was that George Lucas did not have someone else write the love scenes between Anakin and Padmé. It would have made Anakin's betrayal even more devastating had that relationship been more fully developed. May the Force be with us all!
