Darkest story of the SW-series

Rating: 7/10 (3 June 2005)

I didn't expect too much from this, judging by the quality of it's (new) predecessors. Even though the movie had some very stupid ideas in the story (a coughing robot ... c'mon) and way too much special effects to compliment the story, I still found myself enjoying it.
It was by far the darkest of the series and not nearly as humoristic as episodes I and II. Sort of reminded me of the feeling of the old SW-movies and I think this was a good "end" for the series.
Casting was OK, nothing fancy from any of them. Too bad there weren't any new really memorable characters, but still I think it's better to have no memorable characters at all, than having the likes of Jar-Jar Binks who easily goes into my top #5 of all-time obnoxious and completely unnecessary characters in ANY movie I've seen.
All in all a decent movie worth the movie ticket.
