"So this is how freedom is lost, with thunderous applause.."

Rating: 9/10 (19 May 2005)

Making sense of what has been before, regaining the honor of the franchise, Lucas has.
If you close your eyes for a second, you will lose important details. The film is so rich and deep, you will have to watch it over and over, to get it all. Meanwhile Lucas is spinning the last threads hanging from Clones reaching towards A New Hope, and this is done in such a convincing way, that you cant wait to see A New Hope, with all this new knowledge, with this new and deep understanding of what Darth Vader is, and why he became what he did.
The third installment of the StarWars Saga, is almost as good as our beloved Empire, and far darker and meaner. This is where everything changes, Jedis will lose their grip on a struggling world, and dark forces will take over.. Much like our real life situations.. There is a wealth of implicit communication about our own reality. It rises with Darth Vader, to a new and powerful level of depth and detail.
I was surprised, and glad. The circle is now complete, and in the best way possible.
Enjoy!
