Not saying much, but still the best in the first trilogy

Rating: 7/10 (18 September 2015)

Despite the pretty disappointing Episode 1. This third installment is my favorite in the first trilogy. This is the movie that most of the fans was waiting for. How the Jedi Anakin joins the Dark Side and becomes Darth Vader. Sure the romance elements is corny once again and the manipulation elements in the story could have been executed better. But this was a fun action packed thrill ride from start to finish. The whole plot is basically about politics once again, backstabbing and manipulation. Again the flow of it and development of the story could have been more in-depth, but it's passable. The special effects even got a major upgrade and really makes watching the galactic battles much more appealing. I really didn't like Hayden Christensen playing Anakin the future Darth Vader. His expression was just so wooden and his portrayal was just more annoying than intimidating. And his character was more of a prick than an actual badass villain. The main redeeming quality of this movie is of course the lightsaber fight between Obi-Wan and Anakin. Although the finishing didn't make much sense, like bunch of other parts in this Trilogy. However it still has the best lightsaber fight when it comes to Episode 1 through Episode 6. Not the most emotional or story driven but the most entertaining lightsaber fight when it comes to the execution. Although it ain't saying much this is the best Star Wars movie in the first Trilogy.
7.8/10
