Picking up the action from Episode II, Attack of the Clones as well as the animated Clone Wars series, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) and his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen), pursue General Grievous into space after the droid kidnapped Supreme Chancellor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid). The Star Wars Family Tree (click for larger image) It's just the latest maneuver in the ongoing Clone Wars between the Republic and the Separatist forces led by former Jedi turned Sith Lord Count Dooku (Christopher Lee). On another front, Master Yoda (voiced by Frank Oz) leads the Republic's clone troops against a droid attack on the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk. All this is in the first half of Episode III, which feels a lot like Episodes I and II. That means spectacular scenery, dazzling dogfights in space, a new fearsome villain (the CGI-created Grievous can't match up to either Darth Maul or the original Darth Vader, though), lightsaber duels, groan-worthy romantic dialogue, goofy humor (but at least it's left to the droids instead of Jar-Jar Binks), and hordes of faceless clone troopers fighting hordes of faceless battle droids. But then it all changes. Star Wars Time Line (click for larger image) After setting up characters and situations for the first two and a half movies, Episode III finally comes to life. The Sith Lord in hiding unleashes his long-simmering plot to take over the Republic, and an integral part of that plan is to turn Anakin away from the Jedi and toward the Dark Side of the Force. Unless you've been living under a rock the last 10 years, you know that Anakin will transform into the dreaded Darth Vader and face an ultimate showdown with his mentor, but that doesn't matter. In fact, a great part of the fun is knowing where things will wind up but finding out how they'll get there. The end of this prequel trilogy also should inspire fans to want to see the original movies again, but this time not out of frustration at the new ones. Rather, because Episode III is a beginning as well as an end, it will trigger fond memories as it ties up threads to the originals in tidy little ways. But best of all, it seems like for the first time we actually care about what happens and who it happens to. Episode III is easily the best of the new trilogy--OK, so that's not saying much, but it might even jockey for third place among the six Star Wars films. It's also the first one to be rated PG-13 for the intense battles and darker plot. It was probably impossible to live up to the decades' worth of pent-up hype George Lucas faced for the Star Wars prequel trilogy (and he tried to lower it with the first two movies), but Episode III makes us once again glad to be 'a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.' --David Horiuchi The Complete Star Wars Saga Episodes 4-6 Trilogy (widescreen) Episode I: The Phantom Menace Episde II: Attack of the Clones Star Wars: Clone Wars Vol. 1 Star Wars: Clone Wars Vol. 2 The Star Wars Store Stills from Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (click for larger images) Anakin turning to the dark side When Wookiees attack Yoda, Jedi master Mr. and Mrs. Vader Saber training with Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen The cast Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - "You were sent to destroy the Sith, not join them!" So the time has come that I review "Revenge of the Sith." As those who have read my reviews for Episodes I and II will know, I do not have much sympathy for the people who continue to claim that these three films have wrecked their lives forever. What life is this that you ever had, Universal 1-Star reviewer, if a few movies you didn't like devestated you THAT much? "George Lucas raped my childhood". Get real... or at least get therapy. Alright, so George Lucas is a much more creative--and, in all likelyhood, much more intelligent--person than these one-star reviwers who somehow seem to think that they could do what he's done better than he's done, but even HE was facing a tall order in delivering "Star Wars-- Episode III: Revenge of the Sith" to viewers successfuly. Not only was he looking at a fanbase in which many had completely lost faith in him after the previous two films, but he was also releasing a climactic story that brought with it close to thirty years of hype and expectation. (Of course his job was theoretically made somewhat easier in that all the fans who were THAT disatsified with the first two prequels should have learned to lower their expecations by the time the third one came along. In practice, however, some things simply never change.) Nonetheless, against the odds of ever satisfying these people, some of whom literally wanted him in court for the supposed rape of their childhood memories, George Lucas resolved to finish his great life's work... and "Revenge ...

It is action packed and has great visual effects but the script and acting but Vader wans't the best. Oh well, the ending was cool... Rating: - loved this movie loved this movie from start to finish.nothing about this movie i did not like and no part of the movie i did not like great movie and so was the first movie but i do not know what happened to the second ond that one was completely off the chart dead. Rating: - Payback, and about time Okay, here we go: you waited patiently for Episode I and felt let down. Episode II was an outright betrayal. There's something left here in this franchise, right? There is a heartbeat here. If you can hear it through the clutter of Jedi Counsel del iberations, Mace Windoo doing his haughty strutting thing, and ignore the Chase of General Emphysema On a Lizard thing, you can watch and enjoy this movie. Hey. I'm here to help. We all wanted to see Yoda and Obi Wan do that fighter pilot thing, and here we finally do. The filmmakers owed us, big time, for the wretched Yoda performance of Episode II ("Dawson's Creek in Space"), which looked like it had been choreographed by the same guys who did "Xena: Warrior Princess" and shot by a team of CG artists instead of photographers. Hence, the camera work and fight choreography are vastly improved over Episode II. The plot is still loopy and ridiculous. (In a cut scene, we see that Padme took part in a high school Model UN to prepare her for her role as elected Queen. Yes. Really.) Never mind that. We want to see how Anakin became Darth, and that's saved for the Last Battle. Aside from the fact that Padme tells Anakin "I don't know you anymore," (WHAT?!), the battle is epic, sweeping, well choreographed, scored, and cut, it pays off big at the end and you get to see Anakin fully transformed into the bloodless and wrathful Darth. (Although he does yell "Noooooooo", which subtracts somewhat.) Lucas tried to wrap ... Read More Rating: - The fans have it wrong! The other reviews are longer to read than the movie itself! The fact is, all six films are wonderful! If Lucas had filmed in order part one, two, three, four, etc. We as an audience wouldn't have cared by part five and the better fims would have been lost forever, selling nothing! But since Lucas filmed 4,5,6, and then returned to 1,2,and 3, focusing more on special effects, he kept his fans far more interested and sold millions, possibly billions! Lucas is a genius! I loved the Phantom Menace! It is a cool name and wonderful movie. Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith just got better and better! You love these movies! Go on admit it! You can keep complaining but you're not fooling anyone!
