A Flawed Masterpiece To End The George Lucas Star Wars Saga!!

Rating: 10/10 (31 December 2019)

After watching what was to me the most disappointing star wars film The Rise Of Skywalker. I went back to rewatch Revenge Of The Sith and this is where Star Wars ended for me and I feel George Lucas (The Creator of Star Wars) would agree.
This film is just brilliant in my eyes, Episode III ends the Prequel trilogy (I, II) perfectly while setting up the events of the original triology (IV, V, VI).
It's also the only star wars film of the 6 films to be a 12 (PG 13) rating. And it shows because this film is very dark and pulls the emotional punches it needed to. Since this trilogy is meant to be a tragedy and this film finally shows what everyone was waiting for in the other two movies the fall of anakin and how he became darth vader and I personally think it's done brilliantly and it you fully understand why he became such a bitter, angry and awful person when succumbed to the dark side. You really fell bad for him which is great considering that in the other two films Anakin wasnt a character many felt bad for or related to as much. Hayden Christian did a great job, ik many give him a hard time for the bad dialogue and his acting in Episode II but he honestly did a really good job despite some of the awful written dialogue and has some fantastic moments in this film and honestly I felt immersed by his performance all the way through despite some nit picks with the dialogue here and there...
And ofcourse Ewan McGregor as Obi Wan is just perfect, he in my eyes was who I thought of as obi wan and that says alot considering how phenomenal Alec Guinness is as Obi Wan. To me there both perfect for the role and made him one of my favourite characters growing up.
Now Ian Mcdiarmid is in my eyes the standout of this film and he just plays Palpatine (The Emperor) that we all know and love perfectly and better than ever. The way he manipulates Anakin and convinces him against the Jedi slowly and manipulates Anakin into believing turning to the dark side will help Padme, he does it so brilliantly and you feel the temptation he gives Anakin. Maybe the best scene in this film is the Oprea Scene, where Palpatine tells Anakin about Dark Plagues the wise, it's just an amazing scene which is important to the story and the temptation of the darks ide for anakin while also bringing more lore and depth to Palpatine and star wars as a whole. It's all so subtle but so brilliant. While he plays the subtle moments so brilliantly, he also plays the more dramatic and over the top moments amazingly. Once he turns Anakin to the dark side and he becomes Darth Vader after the previous events, we finally see The Emperor in his true iconic form. And he plays him with such energy in the final act and I could go on amd on but it's just fantastic and you can tell Ian had so much fun in this performance.
Natile Portman did a fantastic job too as Padme and you really felt for her character and sad for her tragic broken life and to see it fall apart around her... it's just heartbreaking.
Overal the story and the characters bring this film to climatic and dramatic end which will satisfy I believe most fans of star wars and science fiction. There are some flaws and nitpicks here and there and especially with some bad and cheesy dialogue. But it doesnt distract and ruin the great story this film tells and I'd say it could even have the best plot of any star wars film even though it can't quite beat the originals but in my opinion nothing really can in the star wars universe. But the film ends beautifully and tragically. And the lightsabre battle at the end is one of the best of the franchise if not the best. Perfectly choreographed. But George Lucas and the whole Team and Crew who made this film come to life did fantastically and this lived up to my expectations and succeeded them in many ways for what I wanted for the prequels when though the other two films are definitely disappointing and could have been alot better I still think Episode III is the film we have all been waiting for and it did it almost perfectly.
Star Wars ended here and nothing Disney can make can honestly beat the climatic and tragic end to George Lucas Star Wars Saga and this film was his Magnum Opis in many ways, it's a flawed masterpiece...
