Arguably the best of the new trilogy. At first I thought it was so-so but seeing it a few times more made me think that it did what it needed to finish what had been started. Revenge of the Sith was a bit rushed. Anakin’s fall to the dark side was at first instantaneous but after review its all justified. We see the friendships of the main characters at their strongest and at their worst in this film. Probably one of the most emotional scenes in all of Star Wars was the Order 66 massacre, certainly made me feel more than excitement for once. Also, evil triumphs again but they are the first steps to its demise.
The film had loads of inconsistencies too. Losing the will to live was so cheesey, I couldn’t believe it! What was the point of Chewbacca's cameo except being a transport for Yoda, I personally think he should have taken out an extra clone or two when they was turning on Yoda, at least he would have had some point for being there besides his race.
Emotional, hard, fast, gritty. The fight between Obi-Wan and Anakin is simply a masterpiece. Everything about it is full of feeling. By the time of this battle, they are opposites in many ways. With Anakin’s thundering offence and Obi-Wan’s brick wall defence, every stroke is an effort to stop the other and so they essentially have a stalemate until Anakin’s overconfidence (a common trait in the Star Wars films which leads to someone’s death or failing) takes control and he loses all. This fight is also inter-cut with scenes of the clash of the titan’s battle between Yoda and Palpatine. Both masters in their own art, the whole sequence makes the revenge of the Sith so much more pressing. Everything is waging on these two fights but as you all know good can’t triumph this time but they strike some crippling blows before they disappear.
Thank You.
