The saga is complete

Rating: 8/10 (19 May 2005)

After years and years of waiting, we now know why. Why Anakin fell to the dark side, how the Jedi were destroyed, how the Skywalker twins were hidden- and how the empire was born.
All the loose ends were tied together nicely in Revenge Of The Sith, in what essentially becomes a story of one man's wrong decisions having dire consequences for himself, and all he cares for. There is a moment of truth where Anakin must decide his destiny- and he choses poorly. The effects were, as usual, stellar, and the duels were believable and emotional. The love story, though still leaves a bit to be desired, as they at times don't seem to flow.
This is quite possibly the second best film of the trilogy, behind only Empire. I was sad to see Qui-Gonn was omitted from what would have been a great tie in as well- the secret of becoming a Jedi spirit.
Anakin becomes evil in more ways than one. He does show his greed, his lust for power, and a disregard for what he sees as betrayal by those he once trusted. If not so rash, had he and Obi-Wan not been separated, he may have helped Anikin to see through the sith deception.
Lucas gives a great farewell to the saga in this episode, he has finally delivered. Episode III is Lucas' redemption.
Christensen has grown into Anakin, almost as McGregor has become Obi- Wan. Very good film.
