George Lucas has done one third the Justice.

Rating: 9/10 (2 June 2005)

I liked Phantom Menace, it was pretty good cinema. I thought that Attack of the Clones was excellent. But they weren't right. They were both great movies, but they just weren't right.
The most profound thing that I can say, that doesn't spoil anything, is that, all the things that I didn't like aside, I was amazed and touched by Revenge of the Sith, and it was the only one of the prequels that made me want to get back in to the sequels really really bad. It really made me emotional about the whole Star Wars thing, and that's a lot to say, because Episodes I and II didn't even come close to that feeling. Episode III, for all it's shortcomings, feels like a part of Star Wars universe.
It felt like it fit. It just felt right.
The only problem is, I'm going to want to watch Episodes III, IV, V, and VI, but it really stinks that the first two just don't fit.
As before, I was very impressed with Revenge of the Sith, and aside from the last 10 minutes demystifying the whole original trilogy, I feel like George Lucas has done one third of the justice he planned to do with the prequel trilogy. He finally pulled a rabbit out of his hat, and the fat lady sang.
Bringing the feeling back last night was worth the wait, and a 10.
