Behold the power of the dark side!

After battles on sunny grassfields, a child blasting half a space fleet to pieces, and an annoying battle scene with a bunch of flies in a stadium, Lucas taps the dark side to tell a story about good vs. evil that is far more intrecate and intense than any of the other movies, the originals included. Hail to the Sith! It's not only because the ongoing conflict of the galaxy is now portrayed in a magnificent display of CGI, but every scene is motivated by a reasonable political motivation or personal emotion. This film lives. It has life, death, but most of all it has moral ambiguity. As the story unfolds, you can relate to each character and understand the reason behind their actions and emotions. You continuosly watch these people acting in a belief that they are doing the "right" thing in the name of love, passion, and justice. You can sense their pains, misary, and fear. It clearly shows how people justify their actions based on what they believe is true, and how the result of their actions become further proof to support their existing believes. The idea that there is definitive "right" or "wrong" that, if respected, would shield us from disaster is clearly proved wrong with this movie, and it reminds you that "right" and "wrong" is in the eye of the beholder. Lucas is also doing a great job with answering any last questions we had regarding who, how and why with episodes 4, 5, and 6. After two and a half hours of action scenes, political mind games, and hoping for a tiny break in these characters' lives, you are left with a sense of loss and a need for going home and quickly watch the original triolgy to clense yourself and create balance in "the force." This was a fantastic finale to a saga that has enslaved several generations with its plot and charisma. My heart is screaming for more Star Wars, but my head tells me that we should be thankful and accept that this grand story has now finally been told. Anything following this is merely a refusal to accept that even great things come to an end, and it took "the power of the dark side of the force" to put a worthy capper on one of the greatest cultural contributions of our time. "The Force is strong with this one!"
