Lovely ending to my favourite film series of all time.

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2007)

Well, I watched the other 5 thousands of times before this one came out. The original trilogy was easily the best with The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones not living up to the standards of them. But the third and final film... was absolutely perfect.
As a Star Wars nerd, I prefer the old trilogy but Revenge of the Sith is my favourite of the lot. Some brilliant characters, superb effects, good story and fitting ending.
When the opening scrawl came up, I started to blubber. It was going to be the end. But by the end, I was crying even more. The music was as perfect as ever. The only thing in episodes 1 and 2 that was actually living up to Star Wars standards was the music. Hats off to John Williams. Without him, Star Wars simply wouldn't be Star Wars.
Anyway, back to the film. I thought the beginning was quite long but was still exciting and fun. Palpatine is as manipulative as ever when he orders Anakin to chop Dooku's head off. Ian McDiarmid's performance in this film is his best and also his biggest. I almost ended cheering the Sith on at the end. I still am not keen on the love scenes between Anakin and Padme. They acting is a bit less wooden than AOTC, but I like those scenes the least.
I'll skip to the good bits and not talk about Anakin's frustration with the council and his dreams yadayadayoda. Obi-Wan's fight with Grevious! What a character Grevious is. Brilliant design too. Welldone the people who designed him to make him not look like Vader. Then there's Mace Windu's fight with Sidious. Very energetic for two old folks. And then Anakin has to come along and spoil it all by chopping off Windu's hand by listening to the deformed Palpatine. Then Order 66 happens in which i got my Kleenex out again after seeing all the Jedi die with the sad music. But Yoda survives! Then he meets up with Obi-Wan and Palpatine forms the empire blahblahblah Yoda's fight with Sidious! Good effects in that scene as for a minute I thought that McDiarmid was doing his own stunts. Yoda loses (awww) then goes to Dagobah to go crazy yehyehyeh Obi-Wan's fight with Anakin! The big one. The fight i had been most looking forward to. And I wasn't disappointed! It was perfect. Magnificent. The special effects were stupendous. The planet Mustafar looked a lot like many peoples idea of hell if anyone else hasn't noticed. Then Obi-Wan wins (yey) Anakin gets burned (haha) Luke and Leia are born, Padme dies whilst Darth Vader rises, the Death Star gets built and Owen and Beru take Luke whilst Bail Organa and his wife take Leia.
(Sorry if this is a crap review. It's is only my second one you know) So in conclusion, congrats George Lucas. The best ending any Star Wars fan could ask for. Looking forward to future projects (hopefully Star Wars related projects) and thanks for the best film series of all time.
