Thank you, George Lucas, thank you!

Rating: 9/10 (22 April 2007)

Miraculously, most of the bad aspects of "Attack of the Clones" are gone. Except digital Yoda and horrid performances from Hayden Christensen, Natalie Portman, and even Ewan McGregor this time.
"Revenge of the Sith" bridges the gap between the prequels and the original trilogy in an admirable, entertaining way. There's no doubt about it-- this is the darkest film of the bunch, but it should be. Lucas appropriately selects the settings and times for the entire film. Coruscant is shown mainly only in the evenings and late at night. The planet Mustafar is a constant torrential rage of volcanic activity. And the Emperor's most chilling lines (the story of Darth Plagueis) are delivered as we hear a low droning in the scene's background. It's these small subtleties that make "Revenge" so sweet.
