George Lucas' Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (22 May 2005)

Revenge of the Sith is the best film George Lucas has ever directed and is the cornerstone of the Star Wars Saga. The most emotional and moving Star Wars film is anchored by the best acting of the series. Hayden Christensen fully embraces the darkside and makes his transformation from Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker into the evil Darth Vader believable. Ian McDiarmid steals every scene he's in as the devilish Sith Lord Darth Sidious. Frank Oz as the fully digital Yoda is so real you forget he comes from a computer. Strong support also comes from Natalie Portman as Padme Amidala, Sam Jackson as Mace Windu and Jimmy Smits as Bail Organa. However it is Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi who is the center of the film as well of the prequel trilogy. He has elevated the Jedi Master Kenobi, played by Sir Alec Guinness in the original trilogy, to become the heart and soul of the Saga.
A perfect film and a triumphant conclusion to the series.
10 out of 10
