Star Wars Strikes Back (little spoilers)

Rating: 9/10 (20 May 2005)

It felt like a Star Wars movie. A little space combat, light saber duels, and of course, wookies. From the extermination of the Jedi to the first sights of X-Wing and TIE fighter like ships, Revenge of the Sith "tied" together the trilogies well and at times seemed to pay homage to the originals. I especially liked the combination of the different music from each of the other films. The only problem I had with it was it did seem to drag on a little in the middle, but otherwise the pacing was good, much better than Ep. I and II. It was a fun time, I didn't realize that it had lasted for two and a half hours. And the most memorable moment from the film is, of course, the first breath of the reborn Darth Vader. In short this is the best of the new trilogy and feels like an original in many ways.
The force is strong with this one.
