Anakin Skywalker makes the complete transformation to the dark side in George Lucas’ galactic epic STAR WARS EPISODE 3: REVENGE OF THE SITH. As the star wars heats up, growing resentment begins to build over who maintains control over the republic, the Senate or the Jedi Counsel. After rescuing Supreme Chancellor Palpatine from the clutches of Count Dooku and the clones, Palpatine forcefully requests that Anakin be placed on the Jedi counsel. This creates complications for Anakin, who must inevitably decide which side to choose.
REVENGE OF THE SITH marks an appropriate finish for the first three STAR WARS, maintaining a stoic approach, but delivering a terrific introduction into the events of Episode Four, the original STAR WARS. REVENGE OF THE SITH still lacks some of the fun and excitement of Episodes Four through Six, mainly because the characters lack the personality and connection that a Darth Vader or Hans Solo brought to the mix. Yet, despite its dry personalities, Episode Three delivers the necessary tension and drama, especially in the film’s final reel. Not only is there a great deal of connectivity between Episode Three’s finish, and the following three episodes, but a certain amount of compassion can be gained by knowing what lies ahead for Anakin, Obi-Wan and the two twins, Leia and Luke. REVENGE OF THE SITH does not capture the full spirit of the following episodes, but it does provide many interesting and compelling answers to the STAR WARS saga.
