This is the most intense Star Wars film ever and I thought it was better than Episodes 1 and 2. I did like Episodes 1 and 2 but I still thought the plots to Episodes 1 and 2 needed improvement but this one had a really stronger plot! It has been three years since the Clone Wars started and Jedi Knights Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) and Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) have fought hard and well to defend the planet in their honor and finishing the fight against Count Dooku (Christopher Lee) When the capital planet of Coruscant becomes under attack by the Separatist droid armies and Supreme Chancellor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) is kidnapped by the army leader, General Grievous (voiced by Matthew Wood), Anakin personal problems begin to develop, including his anger at the Jedi Council for not giving him the rank of Master, though he is on the council, and his plagued visions of his secret wife, Padme Amidala (Natalie Portman), dying in childbirth. All of the actions that Anakin was showing to Yoda (Frank Oz) and Mace Windu (Samuel L. Jackson) and some of the other members of the Jedi Knights that he might be up to something. While Obi-Wan Kenobi is sent to take down General Grievous, Anakin has joined the Dark side with the convince from the Supreme Chancellor that joining the Dark side would be the only way to save his wife from death and was then known as Darth Vader! The best scene was the one on that lava planet where we see the ultimate showdown, Anakin vs. Obi-Wan! The climax to this movie was really cool! This end of this episode sets up the events for Episode 4: A New Hope (the 1977 Star Wars film) where Darth Vader goes to war against his children Luke & Leia. This episode also ends with Darth Vader starting his evil empire, Luke & Leia separated, Padme dead, C-3PO (Anthony Daniels) and R2-D2 (Kenny Baker) hidden way and for the Jedi leaving Yoda and Obi-Wan the only ones left alive. Plus this Star Wars film marks the debut of Chewbacca During the production making of this Star Wars movie, there were rumors about George Lucas making a third trilogy that would continue where "Episode 6 - Return of the Jedi" picked up but later Lucas denied the rumor and said that this was the last Star Wars film. Can you even imagine if they did a third trilogy? I know I would have a hard time imaging that especially with all the replacements they would have to make. But everyone has to stop at the top of their game at some point. Thank you very much George Lucas for making this last Star Wars movie a great one!
BOTTOM LINE: THE END (for the Star Wars prequel trilogy) and TO BE CONTINUED................ (into Episodes 4, 5 & 6)
