After almost 30 years, I finally have met my Messiah.

Rating: 9/10 (19 May 2005)

I grew up with Yoda on my Lunchbox, Han Solo figure in my room with the blaster sounds, the Jabba the Hutt setup with the Rancor and Ewok village. Characters that I spent my whole life admiring and the ideology of the Force which inspires me spiritually throughout my life. I was born in 1977 and after all this time it all finally ended with such a bang and this time ROTS proved to be a very emotional movie. This movie redeemed George Lucas. It really did. I must admit, although I was disappointed in Episodes 1 and 2, I still watched both movies over 10 times already. I finally realized that they were nothing but a prelude to the story of Revenge of the Sith. Lucas needed 2 movies to set up his 3rd episode. The way he connects all the dots, and Lucas is a straight up genius, his writing and imagination is phenomenal. It all came together. I think AOTC did a great job with character development of Obi Wan and Anakin and the love story with him and Padme. I know realize why the Jedi code forbids any attatchments. Jedi must not fall in love with anyone, and after you watch ROTS, you will understand why.
The movie will not disappoint Star Wars fans. I think the dialogue was fantastic, the only thing cheesy was of course the beginning when Anakin and Padme exchange "I love you's" The acting gets better and better as the movie rolls along at a great pace. I thought Ian McDiermid was amazing. He was very disturbing in this film, more so than in Return of the Jedi. I thought Ewan McGregor had the second best performance. Very convincing, all the characters, even down to Luke Skywalker's aunt and uncle who look like younger versions of the actors we saw in a New Hope. To bring balance to the force, you don't have to be good. Even the dark side can bring balance, and chosen heroes are flawed, and some even evil like Darth Vader. 4 stars, the best since Empire Strikes back !
