Episode III: The Best One

Rating: 9/10 (29 March 2020)

For me and many other kids born past 2000, the prequels were my first exposure to the Star Wars franchise. For this reason, I have a lot of nostalgia for all of the prequels, but it's not like I didn't see the original trilogy. Believe me, I'm well aware that A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back are far better than Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones. Nostalgia isn't the issue here.
Revenge of the Sith is not without its flaws, it's a 9/10 for a reason, but George Lucas (and everybody involved in this production) really took it to the next level when making this film. I could harp on about Anakin vs Obi-Wan for ages, a battle that remains in all of our minds until the end of time, but that would be ignoring the merits of the rest of the film. Revenge of the Sith is not just the cool Mustafar fight. Everything that went into this film, from the amazing planets to the incredible performance by Ian McDiarmid is what makes Revenge of the Sith so great.
I realise I haven't said much about the film in this review, but basically, this is what Star Wars is to me.
