The Best of the Star Wars Films!!!

Rating: 9/10 (24 May 2005)

The force is with Episode III, the final installment of the Star Wars saga. After the two prequels, Lucas has created a perfect bridge for a new hope( I couldn't resist watching A New Hope right after I got back from the cinema), and not only that - he gave us the best star wars film... Now this statement will make a LOT of people rage on while mentioning their favourite films from the original trilogy - well let's recap on that, shall we... Well I think we can all agree it's much better than the other prequels (it has a weak dialogue at times, and there still are one or two bad love scenes, but those are George's weaknesses, and they were there throughout the entire saga), and as for the original trilogy, well, we have the return of the Jedi, the film that ends the saga, and what a stupid ending. it seems as if Lucas didn't have something good to show us except the confrontation between Luke and Vader, so he recycled the death star and inserted a bunch of annoying teddy bears, that somehow, in the stupidest battle in cinema history, defeated the empire's best legions. jar jar binks is no match for those idiotic teddy bears. And give me a break - Leia is Luke's sister?! such an unnecessary decision, so many plot holes created... A New Hope Is a great movie, no doubt there, but despite its innovativeness, revenge of the sith climbs to a much greater emotional depth, plus if anything it makes A New Hope much more enjoyable, and increases the impact of the original trilogy. Our most serious competitor is Empire strikes back, The best of the original trilogy... too bad it has the silliest title in the saga. a lot of advantages - a new director, the terrible truth about the skywalker legacy, a Jedi master named Yoda, and a more mature tone to the entire film... but Yoda is a puppet on empire strikes back, and it fights with R2 over a biscuit, even though it is supposed to be a Jedi master, even though it has a major role on the film. But in revenge of the sith there is a digital Yoda, with an amazing variety of facial expressions, which allows him to act, and to fight - show the true power of a Jedi master. the scenes with Luke and Darth Vader are pretty good, and the revelation is without doubt an instant classic, (! ! ! !spoiler! ! ! !)the scene in revenge of the sith, where anakin burns and obi wan watches him, completely heart-broken("you were my brother anakin!!! I loved you..."), is to me by far the most emotional, intense, sad, despairational, and heart breaking scene in the whole star wars saga( no spoilers from now on ). Revenge of the Sith is by far the darkest episode, since it contains the most tragic and sad events in the history of the galaxy far far away. There is never a dull moment in this one - this has amazing visual effects, great action scenes, exhilarating lightsaber duels, wonderful tributes to the original trilogy, and beautiful shots. The original trilogy is obviously better than the prequels, but Revenge of the Sith is the best film of the Star Wars saga.
