Revenge of George Lucas

Rating: 10/10 (19 May 2005)

I felt that this was the Star Wars movie that I've been waiting for since the prequels were announced. Anakin's descent into Darth Vader and his subsequent betrayal of Obi Wan, murder of Padme and immolation were heartbreaking to watch. Sure this movie had some bumpy dialog but no star wars movie is without it (in a New Hope...does anybody remember 'but I was gonna go to tashis to pick up some power converters) Visually this was dazzling, the lightsaber fights represented the high water mark of the Jedi and were flawlessly paced/executed. Sidious' plot to overthrow the Jedi which has been brewing since Phantom Menace proved itself to be worthy of the uber sith lord.
