I live in a little town in Ohio, with a very small movie
theatre. We seldom have to wait in line for anything. But, tonight
it seemed like the whole town had come out to view the new Star
Wars adventure, and no one was irritated about waiting over an hour
to gain entrance. Excitement filled the air as I entered the darken
theatre for the premier of Star Wars Revenge of the Sith.
At first, I was afraid I would not find a seat in the overcrowded
theatre. Until I heard a husky voice rasp The Force is with you!
To my delight, Darth Vadar motioned to three empty seats. In front
of us, a Jedi Knight returned from the concession stand with a box
of popcorn. I knew I was in for an adventurous evening!

As my eyes became adjusted to the low-lit room, I looked around the
theatre to get a feeling of the demographics of the audience. I was
not surprised to see the theatre filled with fans of all ages, from
babies to grandparents, and every age in between. This was, after
all, the final episode of the famed Star Wars series and the crowd
cheered when the lights totally dimmed and the movie's theme song
thundered out. As I began to watch the movie it brought back
memories of the other previous episodes. This one tied into the
others flawlessly, and morphed into the last of the series
perfectly.

I was constantly on the edge of my seat in anticipation of what
would happen next. The special effects, computer graphics, and
sound effects were amazing. They pulled me right into the action
and kept me riveted to the screen during the whole movie.

It was very exciting to finally see General Grievous, who had only
been mentioned before, but never shown. It was also fun to enter
Chewbacca's world and see some of his fellow Wookies. With the
introduction of additional new characters and their worlds, this
chapter to the Star Wars adventure brought all the previous plots
to conclusion. The storyline was very well written, which made the
story easy to follow, and within the bounds of Star Wars, the plot
was very believable.

This episode was much darker compared to its predecessors,
but, that was to be expected considering the plot line. I
personally did not feel that the content could not be viewed by
younger children, and would not hesitate to take my grandchildren
to see it. Although it is not rated PG, in reality, Star Wars
Revenge of the Sith's violence was no stronger than most of
what is viewed on modern prime-time television.

Although, Star Wars Revenge of the Sith is a Sci Fi action
adventure featuring outstanding FX, the movie is still very much
character driven. The acting was exceptional, with wonderful dialog
that moved the storyline forward.

As well as expanding on the main characters, and introducing new
ones, towards the end of the film, some of the old familiars like
Jar Jar Binks were re-introduced, but they only played minor roles.
I don't want to give away too much of the plot. If you haven't seen
the other episodes you will still enjoy this chapter in the
adventure. If, however, you are a true Star Wars fanatic, as I am,
and have viewed all the previous movies in the series, you will
really enjoy Star Wars Revenge of the Sith. [I would
highly recommend that you rent the other five movies to get the
full enjoyment of Star Wars Revenge of the Sith.]

I was filled with mixed emotions as I left the theater, feeling
both uplifted and yet letdown. Star Wars Revenge of the
Sith was very uplifting, it was everything that I had
envisioned and more. Yet, as I left the theater, I couldnt help
but think, wow, this is the last one. If you are an avid Star
Wars fan, and have read all the Star Wars books, you know that
there is so much to this story that has not been told on the
big-sreen. George Lucas took the best of the stories and breathed
life into them, in a way only he could.

With todays advancement in special effects, I feel that this has
been one of the all time best Star Wars movies of the series. I can
only hope that future viewers of Star Wars Revenge of the
Sith will get as much enjoyment out of the movie as I did. I am
forever grateful to George Lucas for bringing this amazing
adventure into my life.
