A worthwhile trip to a galaxy far, far away

Rating: 9/10 (8 June 2005)

FINALLY! Star Wars is once again the highlight of our generation, as it was the generation before. A few years ago, I saw George Lucas slowly letting himself depend on special effects, hoping to cover up on the weak storyline in Phantom Menance and Clones. I had hoped desperately that Sith would be better. The first 2 minutes into the movie, I knew that Sith would be no disappointment. (As all movies do, Sith had flaws. It was annoying to see R2-D2 with more gadgets than in the 1977 original....) This movie was sad, but that could not be avoided. As we all expected, Padme dies at the fault of Anakin. The movie overall was very, VERY well done, not the corny love story of Clones, and not the innocence of Phantom Menace. I still think that nothing (yet) tops the original trilogy, but I found myself matching Sith closely. I almost cried at the end- it was that good. See it again, says I!
