The Jedi are becoming increasingly concerned with all that is going on in the Republic. As more power is given to Chancellor Palpatine, the Jedi grow more suspicious and assign Anakin to spy on him for them. Secretly married to Padme, Anakin is now having terrible premonitions that show Padme dying during childbirth. Frightened to lose her, Anakin becomes friendlier with the Chancellor, who knows the ways of the Dark Side of the Force.
Ooh exciting! Here it is! All Star Wars fans know the significance of this film… the birth of one of the greatest villains in cinema history!
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…
War! The Republic is crumbling under attacks by the ruthless Sith Lord, Count Dooku. There are heroes on both sides. Evil is everywhere. In a stunning move, the fiendish droid leader General Grievous has swept into the Republic capital and kidnapped Chancellor Palpatine, leader of the Galactic Senate. As the Separatist droid army attempts to flee the besieged capital with their valuable hostage, two Jedi Knights lead a desperate mission to rescue the captive Chancellor…
Here we are people. We’re at the meat of the saga. This is what the first three films have been leading up to…
I have to say that they were finally staring to get the comedy right in this film. In Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones, all the comedy seemed really trying, but here it was genuinely funny, particularly the banter between Anakin and Obi-Wan. That’s what made the originals so great! There was banter! We’ve finally cracked it!
I have to say too that Hayden Christensen was much better in this film than the previous one. Well done!
What I love most about this movie is that there are more wonderful creatures that we are introduced to (WE GET TO MEET CHEWBACCA AND THE WOOKIES!) and it is also the most emotionally powerful movie. You might think I say this in relation to Anakin and Padme’s romance, but no. I say it in relation to a certain scene where Yoda can feel the pain and suffering of his Jedi Knights. That scene gets me every time!
Starring Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman, Hayden Christensen, Ian McDiarmid, Samuel L. Jackson, Frank Oz, Jimmy Smits, Christopher Lee, Anthony Daniels, Temuera Morrison, and Bruce Spence, Star Wars Episode III – Revenge of the Sith is the final instalment in the Star Wars saga and is another triumph filled with just as much romance, action, epic battles, fantastic creatures, and comedy as its predecessors.
No matter which way you slice it, there is no beating Star Wars!
