Review of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005) by Lyra S — 06 Jan 2019

Highly poignant and brilliant in its plot, this movie is one of the best Star Wars movies to date, though there is still room for improvement. The dialogue is less wooden than its previous counterparts, though still unrealistic for the most part, though highly memeable.

I was highly disappointed with the depiction of Padme, a strong female heroine who was reduced to barefoot and pregnant in this movie with a rushed death that, in retrospect, was brilliant, but was not at all explained.

It also frustrates me how she had to die for Anakin to have his character change. On a positive note, the portrays of Palpatine/Sidious by Ian McDiarmid, and Obi-Wan by Ewan McGregor were excellent. Additionally, the last fight between two of the main characters was undeniably the best fight in the Star Wars saga: beautifully choreographed, portraying how even the closest of friends can turn from brothers to enemies.
