Review of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005) by Hunter H — 06 Nov 2015

In 'Revenge of the Sith', Hayden Christensen's weird, stalker-like vibe works better than his attempt at romance last time out, as Anakin Skywalker inevitably falls to the Dark Side. A menacing supporting performance by Ian McDiarmid's Palpatine helps sell this, as does Ewan McGregor/Obi-Wan's reaction of disappointment and betrayal at his protege's turn.

Some attempts to directly connect this trilogy to 'Star Wars' come off like fan service and create more questions than they answer. So... it took them, like, the better part of 20 years to build the original Death Star then, and Tarkin and Darth Vader were just up there hanging out on it the whole time? -- stuff like that.

I'd have preferred more things hinted at, rather than trying to tie everything together with a neat little bow. Still, 'Sith' makes for a mostly-satisfying conclusion to the prequel trilogy.
