The birth of Vader,Luke & Lea in one hell of a classic sci-fi series.

Rating: 7/10 (20 May 2005)

What can I say but stunning really bridged the gap between the original 77's Episode IV A New Hope to the new Episodes I & II so well,and boy is this outing dark from killing Jedi young-lings to a limbless burning Vader you know this ones gonna roll and roll on into cinema history,sure many will claim the new episodes are lesser films and maybe even a loyal star wars fan like me could almost agree with 'em,even though I thought episode II was good solid family fun.But this one tops even the originals for pure subject alone,from now on I doubt anyone could watch epIV,epV or epVI without 1st watching epIII.
I really feel Lucas this times made the film the fans wanted to see,hopefully this time pleasing both new and older fans alike.And it will be so nice to re-watch the old wars after the end of this knowing more of the history of the characters.
Slight let down on this is a few unresolved battle scenes namely the wookie battle was so under used.Maybe a special edition DVD could thread more light on this side of story.But all in all I'd say "The force is strong in this one it is" I voted [10 out of 10] probably more to sway the morons who will surely give it 1 without even watching it.easily a 9.5 anyway,Lucas as saved the best till last,and anyone who doesn't agree can't enjoy the simple pleasures of good solid entertainment,and forgets they were probably 10-11 when watching the originals.
