Putting more energy, emotion and imagination on-screen than he has in 25 years, George Lucas completes his Star Wars double trilogy with visual triumph and mythic tragedy.

| Apr 22, 2025

Wrapping up the Star Wars mythology in a more taut, coherent and human fashion than before it's also characterized by an undercurrent of poignancy as we bid farewell to a far-out pop culture landmark.

Revenge of the Sith is an anemic script pumped up on so many cinematic steroids, it's lost all sense of dramatic finesse.

Sith feels lighter, yet more substantial and tragic at the same time.

III is the darkest of the Star Wars episodes, and the strongest of the second trilogy.

Sith may be the tale about one man's downfall, but it's a downfall that bizarrely never feels tragic or disheartening.

Revenge of the Sith may be the strongest in the series since the original -- certainly it's the darkest and coolest since The Empire Strikes Back.

Ewan McGregor is just right, as always, as humble Obi-Wan Kenobi.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 17, 2025

From design to execution, the creative Force is strong in this one.

| Original Score: B+ | Apr 17, 2025

[Lucas] built a perfect beast but left out the heart.

George Lucas accomplishes what he set out to do.

| Original Score: C+ | Apr 16, 2025

After all these year -- all the hopes, fears, disappointments, predictions and surprises of five indelible chapters -- no movie could fulfill every expectation for the final Star Wars, but Revenge of the Sith is a gift no true fan can reject.

It's all come home for a finale that moves way up in aesthetic class,
