Sith redeems the series; I can resume liking Star Wars!

Rating: 9/10 (5 June 2005)

Thats more like it! No cute kids. No JarJar dialog. No 20 minutes ToysRUs scenes. In this movie they seemed to have remembered that story matters...gravity exists...and the audience isn't stupid.
I was fully prepared to be letdown and instead I left the theatric remembering why Star Wars was so important so many years ago.
Just like Star Trek fans have to pretend that Star Trek 5 never happened, I think Star Wars fans will come to think of the episodes 3-6 as the real series...with two crappy prequels.
The clear references to American politics were striking, without quoting any dialog there are obvious parallels between the Sith Lord and George W.
