Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith
2005 · George Lucas · 140 min · Sci-Fi
Revenge of the Sith is the prequel trilogy's strongest entry by a wide margin, delivering the tragic fall of Anakin Skywalker with genuine emotional power and the franchise's most impressive lightsaber choreography. Clunky dialogue and an uneven first act keep it from true greatness, but Ian McDiarmid's Palpatine and the devastating final thirty minutes make this the darkest and most dramatically satisfying prequel.
