Revenge of the Sith**
aka: Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
US 2005. Twentieth Century Fox/Lucasfilm. 139m. ws
The end of the Clone War leads to galactic civil war, and Anakin Skywalker submits to the Dark Side of the Force in order to save his pregnant wife from dying in childbirth.
The culmination of the Star Wars saga, and while reputed to be the darkest of the series (though both The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi had their share of greater jolts) with a welter of action, plot and special effects, it still lacks the original's sense of engaging characters. Some of the older actors help to maintain some gravitas, and Lucas saves the best set pieces for last such as the Jedi massacre and climactic tussle between good and evil.
Written and Directed by: George Lucas.
Producer: Rick McCallum.
Starring: Hayden Christensen, Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman, Ian McDiarmid, Frank Oz, Anthony Daniels, Kenny Baker, Jimmy Smits, Samuel L. Jackson, Christopher Lee, Peter Mayhew, James Earl Jones (voice).
Photography: David Tattersall (and David Franco, Ron Fricke, Giles Nuttgens).
Music: John Williams.
Editing: Roger Barton, Ben Burtt.
Visual Effects Supervision: John Knoll, Roger Guyett.
Animation Director: Rob Coleman.
+ Tom Stoppard is said to have contributed to the script, and the climactic lightsabre duel was "directed" in part by Steven Spielberg.

REVENGE OF THE SITH. Action Yoda!
