Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith
A response.


"Do you think he has any idea we're about to arrest him?"
"Not a clue."
After months of lurking about spoiler-filled boards, listening to people invent wacky theories about Palpatine being a clone and make jokes about Obi-Wan trying to scam Padme out of her apartment or Anakin stinking up Palpatine's place in a failed attempt to prepare cod for dinner, Revenge of the Sith finally arrives in theaters, much to the displeasure of those people who think Star Wars was better before they got rid of the vasoline blob underneath Luke's landspeeder. For those of us who actually like the prequel trilogy and don't really care if Lucas screws up mythological archetypes or not,
Revenge of the Sith is a lot of fun, and dovetails nicely into the original trilogy.


"I really like this apartment. I wonder if they'd
consider signing the lease over to me..."
It is definitely the darkest movie of the entire saga and has the least worst acting of the prequels, and feels more like the original trilogy than the others. But if at anything, it feels a bit rushed, especially near the end. I would have liked it better if this movie were split up over Episodes II and III, and Attack of the Clones combined with The Phantom Menace into Episode I. Not a perfect movie by any means, but still a good way for the Star Wars movies to end - or at least meet in the middle, as it were.
