Stupid lame ending spoils the whole movie

Rating: 1/10 (21 May 2005)

WARNING! THIS MESSAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!!! Why did George Lucas have to spoil an otherwise fairly good movie by putting such a lousy ending in it? This was supposed to be the darkest of all the Star Wars movies. It should have ended with the camera zooming in on Darth Vader's face so that it would finally take up the whole screen. The last sound should have been the sound of his breathing and the ominous music we are accustomed to hear when Darth Vader is around. That would truly have been shock and awe and a worthy ending to the 6 series saga.
Instead we are treated to this typical, lame American bulls**t happy ending with the family looking at the sunset or sunrise as a sign of new hope. I guess this movie was truly made for the average American who is too frail to handle a dark ending without having nightmares and getting psychological problems, poor thing.
Without the ridiculous ending I would have been inclined to give an 8 to this movie but unfortunately the ending drops my number to 1. I hope that when the DVD is published, it has an alternate dark ending so that the damage will be at least partially repaired.
