Watched Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith last night.

First off it is a great movie going experience. Both visual and aural aspects of the film blend very well together, I strongly suggest watching it in a THX certified theater. Of course John Williams and the London Symphony Orchestra was able to masterfully make music impart some of the story and the feelings of the characters (a mini review of the Soundtrack is here). The movie is 140 minutes (2 hours and 20 minutes). As for the story I've read the novelization so I know it (a mini review of the Novel is here), but of course it is a different thing to watch it.

The Story - As everyone knows this final Star Wars film of the Prequel Trilogy (PT) will tell the tale of how Anakin Skywalker, a young Jedi Knight and hero of the Republic falls to the Dark Side of the Force and rises as Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith one of the most evil villians the Galaxy has ever known. It also documents the formation of the first Galactic Empire under Palpatine. It also shows us a glimpse about some of the heroes in the Original Trilogy (OT). Luke Skywalker farm boy from Tatooine and Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan.

Among all the PT films I like this the most. Not because it is the last film but because it completes a big chunk of the Star Wars saga. Darth Vader is my favorite character (Han Solo is a close second) I remember a few years back when very little was known of Anakin Skywalker... and even the Expanded Universe (EU) was a bit lacking (not wanting to set precedence I guess). It brings everything together very well and you get a deeper understanding of the man behind the mask.
