Revenge of Sith, Best of the Prequels by Far

Rating: 9/10 (18 March 2020)

Revenge of the Sith is the second best Star Wars movie, in my opinion, behind the Empire Strikes Back. The prequels have received a lot of heat by fans and critics, but this one has the best entertainment value of them all. The dialogue might make you cringe at times, but watching Anakin Skywalker's transformation into Darth Vader is a fascinating story to watch unfold. I found it convincing and even somewhat relatable. Would you be tempted by the dark side if you thought it was the only way to save the one you love? Ewan McGregor does a fantastic job portraying Obi Wan Kenobi. The "Battle of the Heroes" at the movie's conclusion ranks #1 on my list as far as light saber battles go. And of course, there's the brilliance of John Williams, who provides a soundtrack that will move you from beginning to end.
