Was hopeful Lucas would deliver... he did.

Rating: 10/10 (19 May 2005)

I have only ever been a modest star wars fan, liking the first three as the excellent movies they were, but not going so far as to get it tattooed on my upper arm. When the first two came out, I liked them as well (am I the only one?) but realized there was something different about their caliber: something that made them seem more "cool" but at the same time less mystifying.
Enter episode III, where almost every step of the way fills you with surprise and passion, that the party we're all cheering for will triumph. The connection a viewer feels to all characters in this movie is amazing; there will be mortifying moments, as well as there being triumphant ones. All of the action scenes in this movie were nothing short of breath-taking. Sure, it has the classy spaceship fight scenes and what not, but all light-sabre action scenes left me (and my comrades sitting on either side in the theater) whispering "dang!" or "sweet!" or "ok, THAT was pretty cool."
*Possible spoiler* All in all, an extremely satisfying end to an amazing saga, your faith should be restored. However, if you have any young children very emotionally attached to star wars characters from episode 1 and 2, you may want to find out what actually happens in this movie. As said, some parts could be pretty mortifying.
10/10, near perfectly done by all film-making and story-writing standards.
