Profile of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

The mood of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith is bleak, stylized, and exciting. The plot centers around lovers reunited, space wars, and a rise to the top. It is a sci-fi, action, and adventure movie. Stylistically, it is a saga and has a Hollywood tone. In approach, it is fantastical and serious. It happens in the future. The musical score of it is orchestral. The movie is known for being a blockbuster, an award winner, and critically acclaimed. It is especially suggested for teens. Note that it includes mild violent content.

Summary of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

The Force is with us in EPISODE III: REVENGE OF THE SITH, the final chapter of the six-part STAR WARS series, which began a long time ago (1977) in a galaxy far, far away... and is now complete in its cyclical perfection. This visually awe-striking kaleidoscope of interplanetary imagination features the unmatched digital animation and special effects of George Lucas's Industrial Light and Magic. With pink and orange skies casting a golden sheen over magnificent landscapes through which space ships dart and light sabers flash, the spectacle of the film, while hypnotizing, is but a complement to the intense, crucial plot.

Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) remains the Jedi apprentice of master Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor). Battling dark forces that threaten the Republic, the duo quickly eliminates enemy Count Dooku (Christopher Lee), and Anakin proves--as he states more than once--that his powers have doubled. An intimidating warrior with superior knowledge of the Force, Anakin becomes the pet of Chancellor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid), who is connected to the dark side. Meanwhile, Padme (Natalie Portman), the senator and former queen who is secretly married to Anakin, is pregnant, and Anakin is tortured by dreams of her dying in childbirth. With Obi-Wan on Utapau battling cyborg General Grievous (Matthew Wood), and Yoda (Frank Oz) joining the Wookiees of Kashyyyk, the sage warnings of the Jedi council (Samuel L. Jackson, Jimmy Smits) go unheard by Anakin. His moodiness and glowering are a clear precursor to his inevitable, terrifying metamorphosis into Darth Vader, the dark leader of the evil Empire who haunts the remainder of the series. John Williams's famous orchestral score with its thunderous marching themes adds more continuity, with refrains reminding viewers of STAR WARS EPISODE IV: A NEW HOPE, in which Padme's children Luke and Leia take charge.

Critics Reviews

Chicago Tribune
All the "Star Wars" movies will continue to entertain us for many years to come. They were grand fun, and this last one's a corker.
The New York Times
This is by far the best film in the more recent trilogy, and also the best of the four episodes Mr. Lucas has directed. That's right (and my inner 11-year-old shudders as I type this): it's better than "Star Wars."

Users Reviews

I'm very surprised. This movie is everything I and II should have been. Some might say that after seeing this one the first two prequels are better, but I think it renders them obsolete. The entire prequel story should be this episode and nothing...
It's over. Six movies and 28 years later the saga is finished. In a way, it's a sad feeling. No longer will I await a mid-May opening date. No longer will I see the summer movie calendar situate itself around one movie. No longer will I eagerly...
Likely to see
Not for me
