Back and Better than ever the force is...

Rating: 10/10 (30 May 2005)

It's been a couple of weeks since I saw Revenge of the Sith at a midnight premiere in D.C. and I've been struggling to debate whether it was good enough to dethrone my all time Star Wars fav: Empire Strikes Back. And it does my friends, it does.
Revenge of the Sith is comprised of three essential components, all from the original trilogy: the fun of Star Wars; the darkness of The EmpireStrikes Back; and the sheer sense of closure of Return of the Jedi. All questions that have plagued fans for years are answered. The cast pulls off the ultimate ensemble performance, considering that they had a lot to make up for because of the disappointments that were The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones. Visuals are top notch, the lightsaber battles are the stuff of legends, and Hayden Christiensen redeems himself for his poor acting in EPII by becoming the ultimate bad ass we know to be Darth Vader.
My hats off to George Lucas, he knows how to cap off an awesome story. Just goes to show you that old dogs are still superior in film-making.
10/10-Anyone who says otherwise, there's something wrong with you...
