Very good end to the saga

Rating: 9/10 (20 May 2005)

I left Episode III without the feeling of lingering disappointment that was with me after I & II. The key to this Star Wars is that it is well-paced and we shift seamlessly back and forth from action to back story. The acting and writing are far superior to the first two with Hayden Christiansen doing an outstanding job as Anakin Skywalker then Darth Vader. The pulse of the film though belongs to Ewan McGregor who takes over the screen as Obi-Wan. The action of course is first rate and is plenty to go around. We see 5 light saber duels including the epic almost half hour long fight between Kenobi and Vader. This film answers all the questions and ties everything together beautifully making you want to pop in the original as soon as you get home, which I did and it is a totally different movie experience for me now. I felt like i was watching a New Hope for the first time.
