What a way to go out with a bang!

Rating: 10/10 (20 March 2006)

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away arguably the best trilogy of all time was made, Star Wars. As a trilogy it had it all, the characters (namely Vader and Han Solo), the plot ("I am your father") and the 'out of the box' mentality, Star Wars really did set the world alight. With the trilogy ended and fans hungry for more what next? Prequels, based on the film's best loved villain Darth Vader.
Now at the time this seemed a good idea, you'd have to have lived under a rock your entire life not to know about the release of the 1st star wars prequel, everyone was excited, the back story of the galaxy's most evil villain but optimism soon turned to disappointment as the original trilogy had made people hold star wars in such high regard that the phantom menace was quite frankly a flop. It was such a flop that people weren't really that excited about attack of the clones coming out due to it's lame predecessor and daft name, but it was better than phantom menace but still didn't live up to the original trilogy, but the best was yet to come.
Revenge of the Sith, bridging the gap between old and new did live up to the star wars name from the opening shot over coruscant (the best special FX ever) to the emotional ending it left most fans a lot happier. The film starts in spectacular fashion with Obi-Wan and Anakin racing to rescue the captive chancellor from the evil general grievous, and it starts as it means to go on with no fewer than 5 lightsaber battles between the fiercest of enemies and the best of friends that takes you through so many emotions, fear, anger, hate which ultimately lead you to the dark-side and is such Anakin's fate as he makes a great sacrifice to save his love Padme.
The film is so well constructed with outstanding performances from Mcgregor and Christensen that really make you feel the pain and anger that the characters are going through. I, personally, think this is not only the best of the prequels but the best of the lot and gives star wars the credit it deserves, the saga is complete and what a way to end it! Just ask Big Al. D-man.
