One word: amazing

The this installment in the series truly is above episode one and two. The plot is so intriguing and interesting. The rising action of the first hour and half creates a magnificant last fourt-five minutes. Though this is a great movie, it is a little repetitive. A droid and a main character dies, simply like the last 5 movies. The problem with a prequel is that one already knows what will happen. Anakin does, don't worry, turn to the dark side. Chancellor Palpatine is revealed to be Darth Sidious. The Jedi are annihilated. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda go into exile on different planets. The democratic Republic is devoured by the Empire. Instead of answers, what we gain from watching Revenge of the Sith is details. Chancellor Palpatine is revealed to be Darth Sidious. The Jedi are annihilated. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda go into exile on different planets. The democratic Republic is devoured by the Empire. Instead of answers, what we gain from watching Revenge of the Sith is details. Revenge of the Sith contains several masterfully edited sequences. Near the end of the film, the two big battles - Anakin against Obi-Wan and the Emperor against Yoda - are brilliantly intercut. The saga is complete. An estimated 4.8 million, including myself, called in sick to watch this last movie by George Lucas. The movie itself will most likely get a few Academy nods, especially for Best Director.
