The Grand Finale

Rating: 9/10 (31 May 2005)

The final episode of the Star Wars series. We hoped the best and feared the worst. Did the movie fill the empty hole made by EP 1 & 2? From my point of view: Definitely.
The movie starts with the classic "flying subtitles" where we learn what the movie is about. Obi-Wan and Anakin are in a mission where they have to save Chancellor Palpatine, who has been captured by the separist cyborg general; Grievious. The movie's beginning is a kind of "lame": R2 is a smart little machine, i'll give you that but, he's no actionhero! Christopher Lee is in the movie, but so little time that it could be a cameo..
Anakin has changed since the last movie. He is now ambitious, arrogant and insecure. After his rescue, Palpatine slowly begins to unfold his background to Anakin, trying to manipulate him to the Dark Side of the force, by the the visions of dying Pádme to his dreams.
As the movie goes on, we visit the Wookies homeplanet to battle the droids(a merely excuse to have Chewbacca in the film) One of the most touching parts of the movie were: "Order 66" When the clones, who blindly obey every command they are given, suddenly kill all the jedis. And Anakin killing the young jedis.. And when he finally becomes: Darth Vader. His first breath. What more do we need.
That's about it really. The most brutal and touching movie of it's series. Don't miss
