A disappointing end preceded by disappointing prequels.

Rating: 1/10 (20 July 2009)

I couldn't believe this movie. While the visual effects were very good and sometimes helped to add excitement - visually, at least - this was a horrible end to what could've been an amazing series. The first three made, parts 4,5, and 6, were quite good. Mostly because Lucas did not direct 5 and 6; which in my opinion were the best of the first three direction and storytelling wise. There was a key scene, which I won't spoil, that was one of the most important scenes of the entire series. That of Anakin Skywalker "turning to the Dark Side". Horrible. Laughable. Ridiculous excuse for a character turning evil. Parts 1 and 2, began the slow leak of air out of the Star Wars series. Part 3, sliced it completely open flattening the Star Wars legacy like a deflated tire.
EDIT: Now, in 2017, we have seen a resurgence in the Star Wars series. Thanks to J.J. Abrams, and other talented artists, the Star Wars name has been revived with new life and promise. Episode 7, despite being similar to Episode 4, was a need boost to bring a new generation into the SW fold. I have seen Episode 8, and not to give anything away, should prove to be an excellent addition to the SW legacy. Personally, I find it as good as Episode 4 if not better.
