Despite some holes, it still holds up

Rating: 8/10 (25 March 2020)

We had to endure the first two films of the prequel trilogy to get to Revenge of the Sith. Like two opening acts before a Rolling Stones concert, the undercard will never be as good. Sith does not disappoint.
Darth Vader is undoubtably the most interesting character in the Star Wars Universe. He's big, bad, dressed in black and has no moral compass that we can see. His heart has been blackened by the loss of his love and perceived betrayal of the Jedi. He is a villain worthy of his stature in pop culture.
In Sith, Anakin is finally given some depth by a Hayden Christensen. His conflict is evident as he goes back and forth between loyalty to Palpatine and the Jedi Order. His marriage to Padme becomes his undoing and he becomes obsessed in saving her. All of this, as we know, is in vain.
But let's nitpick. Why did Mace Windu you bring along the three worst Jedi in the history of the order to arrest Palpatine? It took him a grand total of 10 seconds to wipe out these supposedly well trained Jedi. Seriously I have no force powers at all and I think I could've held them off for at least 15 seconds. Then when Aniken tells when do that he suspects that Palpatine is a Sith Lord when do acts like he's surprised. They've talked about it. They should know. This is no surprise.
The light saber battle at the end of the film between Obi-Wan and Anakin/Vader is the best battle of its type in franchise. End of discussion. Set in the background that literally looks like hell the two former friends engaged in a frenzied Malay which ultimately ends in Anakon/Vader losing three of his remaining limbs. The birth of Luke and Leia and corresponding assembly of Darth Vader as we know him is some of George Lucas his best film making.
This is a brilliant film and fits well in to the franchise Canon.
