Now that's more like it!

Rating: 7/10 (23 May 2020)

Not just the best prequel but one of the best Star Wars films period. The stakes are higher, the emotions deeper and the performances much more relatable and real. This one far outweighs its two predecessors in quite literally every way. The action elements are turned up to 90 and you can really feel the tension surrounding each of our characters. Not perfect by any means but way above average and a fantastic departure from the boredom and staleness of Episode I and Episode II. This film really makes it mark on the franchise and while watching it, you can't help but feel that this is the story Lucas wanted to tell all along. Extremely entertaining and absolutely devastating.
