Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith

Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith is a 2005 American space opera directed by George Lucas. It is the sixth film in the Star Wars film series, the final installment in the Star Wars prequel trilogy, and third chronological chapter of the nine-part "Skywalker Saga". It premiered on May 15, 2005, at the Cannes Film Festival, then released worldwide on May 19, 2005.

Plot
In the year 19 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin), it has been three years since the Clone Wars began in 22 BBY. Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker rescue Chancellor Palpatine from General Grievous, the commander of the droid armies, but Grievous escapes. Suspicions are raised within the Jedi Council concerning Palpatine, with whom Anakin has formed a bond. Asked to spy on the chancellor, and full of bitterness toward the Jedi Council, Anakin is convinced to turn the Dark Side by Darth Sidious, Palpatine's true identity.

Why It Has UNLIMITED....POWER!

 * 1) It is a huge improvement over The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones and is usually seen as the best film of the prequel trilogy. While the prequel trilogy overall generally receives flak from superfans, this film ended this trilogy on a high note (in terms of quality).
 * 2) It sets up the original trilogy very well as it shows how Anakin became Vader, how the Republic became the Empire, the near-genocide of the Jedi, and so on.
 * 3) This is one, if not the darkest Star Wars film ever as it shows and implies many horrific instances including Order 66, the implication that Anakin killed Jedi younglings, and the scene of Anakin burning on Mustafar.
 * 4) Unlike the first two prequels, Jar Jar Binks is largely ignored in this film. He has no dialogue and only makes one cameo appearance.
 * 5) The characters are more likable and sympathetic than in the first two prequels, especially Anakin, as he is no longer whiny and spoiled as in Attack of the Clones and is a lot more mature.
 * 6) It does a great job at explaining how Anakin fell to the Dark Side by explaining it in a "deal with the devil" kind of way by having Anakin pledge his loyalty to Sidious out of fear of losing Padmé after he had dreamt of her death.
 * 7) The CGI and special effects are a big step up from the first two prequels.
 * 8) The famous scene where Darth Sidious issues "Order 66" and manipulates the clone army into turning on the Jedi Order is both utterly horrifying and emotional at the same time.
 * 9) The opening scene just goes above and beyond, from the space battle over Coruscant to the droid attacks to the lightsaber duels.
 * 10) General Grievous and Darth Sidious are awesome villains, and both villains are crucial to the plot.
 * 11) Brilliant cinematography. It's pretty clear that George Lucas had mastered digital cinematography with this film, with everything looking sharp and clear.
 * 12) Amazing soundtrack composed by John Williams with this one being a mix of bombasticness, wonder, misery, and dread which perfectly incapsulates the tone of the film.
 * 13) The climactic battle between Obi-Wan and Anakin/Darth Vader on Mustafar is epic, and with the spectacular choreography and dialogue to enhance the intensity of the battle.
 * 14) There's also an epic battle between Yoda and Darth Sidious in the Senate Chamber at the same time that is really fun to watch.
 * 15) While the acting still has its flaws, it's noticeably better than in the first two prequels.
 * 16) * Hayden Christensen's performance as Anakin Skywalker in this film has improved tremendously compared to in Attack of the Clones, especially after he becomes Darth Vader.
 * 17) This film has the most quotable lines of any Star Wars film with many going on to become memes of their own. This includes: "Do it." "A fine addition to my collection", "Hello there", "General Kenobi", "Your move.", "I was trained in your Jedi arts, by Count Dooku", "Oh, I don't think so", "So uncivilized", "He has control of the Senate and the courts, he's too dangerous to be left alive!", "This is going to be easy", "General Grievous. You're shorter than I expected", "Not to worry, we are still flying half a ship", "Wait a minute, how did this happen, we're smarter than this", "Ah, yes, the negotiator", "Jedi scum", "Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plaguei's The Wise?", "You are on this council, but we do not grant you the rank of master", "POWER! UNLIMITED... POWER!", "If you're not with me, then you're my enemy", "It's over, Anakin! I have the high ground!", " You underestimate my power!", "You were the Chosen One!", "I HATE YOU!!!", and Darth Vader's infamous "Nooooooo!"
 * 18) The scene where Anakin dons the iconic Darth Vader suit after being horribly wounded was AWESOME!
 * 19) The ending is incredibly heartbreaking and emotional.
 * 20) *The last scene that shows baby Luke Skywalker being adopted by Owen and Beru Lars is beautiful.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The romantic talk between Anakin and Padmé feels forced and kind of sappy. However, it was intentional this time. It turns out, the original plan was to have Padmé fall out of loving Anakin to the point to where she was going to kill Anakin on Mustafar after it was revealed he had turned to the Dark Side, but this was scrapped.
 * 2) Ewan McGregor's infamous line delivery: "I have seen a security hologram of him, killing younglings." As he said this line, he covered his mouth as if he was about to laugh at the line due to how ridiculous it sounded.
 * 3) Grievous seems a little underwhelming compared to his appearance in Star Wars: Clone Wars, with him being more cowardly (thus, later they explained that he's severely wounded by Mace Windu before the battle had begun.)
 * 4) False advertising: Despite being billed in the main cast, Christopher Lee only has one scene in the film, which is the scene where his character, Count Dooku, is killed by Anakin when Palpatine orders him to do so, by saying "Kill him… Kill him now… Do it!".
 * 5) Some critics and fans felt it was more or less on par with the previous two prequels.
 * 6) The voice of B1 Battle Droids and B2 Super Battle Droids has changed into an annoying high-pitched voice that doesn't help either from the previous prequels. Not to mention is just they made them (mainly B1s) become a comic relief, which is very unnecessary that happens in the 2008 version of Clone Wars. (Depending on the View.)

Trivia

 * There exists a bootleg version of the movie called Star War: The Third Gathers - Backstroke of the West, in which all the dialogue is rendered near-incomprehensible after being poorly machine-translated from Chinese, which spawned a handful of memes.
 * Originally, Liam Neeson was to return as a force ghost of Qui-Gon Jinn from the first prequel film. But he wasn't available as he was in the middle of filming Batman Begins.
 * This is the first Star Wars movie to receive a PG-13 rating by the MPAA, as all movies in the series up until this point were rated PG.
 * This was the last Star Wars movie to be distributed by Fox before Lucasfilm was acquired by Disney in 2012, and Disney would distribute every Star Wars movie from then on, starting with 2015's The Force Awakens. Disney would also go on to acquire Fox in 2019.
 * A few people interpreted some of the dialogue as jabs at the administration of then-president George W. Bush. This mostly comes from the scene when Anakin says "If you're not with me, then you're my enemy" (almost exactly matches word-for-word with a statement that Bush made shortly after 9/11), however George Lucas claimed they were actually meant to reference Adolf Hitler's rise to power.
