Synopsis
Years after the onset of the Clone Wars, the noble Jedi Knights lead a massive clone army into a galaxy-wide battle against the Separatists. When the sinister Sith unveil a thousand-year-old plot to rule the galaxy, the Republic crumbles and from its ashes rises the evil Galactic Empire. Jedi hero Anakin Skywalker is seduced by the dark side of the Force to become the Emperor's new apprentice -- Darth Vader. The Jedi are decimated, as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jedi Master Yoda are forced into hiding. The only hope for the galaxy are Anakin's own offspring -- the twin children born in secrecy who will grow up to become heroes.
Review
With much improvement done in the writing department, Anakin's major transition into Darth Vader comes full circle as the third episode takes this dark turn of event to culminate what seems to be a tragic downfall of a Jedi knight. As the trajectory of the story is far more clearer than its predecessors, episode three ends on a high note with the best third-act setting and lightsabre fight ever done. Apart from that, the acting has definitely improved ever since the horrendous second chapter. Overall, 'Revenge of the Sith' makes a fine, confident concluding chapter to the prequel series.
Rating
4/5 Stars
