finally emphasis on the story and screenplay

Rating: 8/10 (22 May 2005)

finally a star wars film which concentrates on the story and not just on the special effects. before beginning the star wars original trilogy George Lucas had consulted with the master of mythology: Joseph Campbell and read his book titled "hero of a thousand faces" which follows the hero's journey through all the myths across every nation on earth. a common path which makes the hero look deep within himself to find answers in the world outside personified by all the heroes of every epic tale ever written. this one proves that lucas's talent at writing is still spot on. no wonder that the star wars trilogy first and now this final film are going to be the stuff of legends for years to come. Anakin's journey towards the dark side is filled with insights into his inner being instead of just a brainless outer fight with only special effects to keep us interested. this one makes us feel for him as his struggle is part of all our lives as we struggle to stick to the right part. making him a villain but one we can understand and respect. the awe effect instead of just a bad guy. way to go Lucas.
