Review: 'Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith' improves on last outing but still lacks closure


Star Wars: Episode III   Revenge of the Sith   PG 13          
            Third in the prequel trilogy, Sith actually tries to explain why Obi Wan and Anakin are going to be at odds eventually, while politics and more subterfuge comes to the fore, and Palpatane is finally revealed to be the bad guy. (Which everyone knows). But Annie is apparently a very inept Jedi, and he thinks Palpatane is great and wants to be evil, because he had bad dreams about pregnant Amidala dying. Then he goes totally insane. Meanwhile, Obi Wan fights with the clones, but then the clones turn on everyone. Then Annie turns on everyone. "What?" He goes to the hellish planet, because it's like in the fan fics (and books from the 80s) that said it happened, and that is where Amidala, Obi Wan, and Annie find their fates. Heh. Okay, the fights were better this time around. The dialogue, however, was totally ridiculous. Not buying that the formation of Vader leads to him being told Padme is dead, which he should know, given that in his anger he cacked her, to have him scream badly, "Nooooo!" Uhu. Oh, and "wipe the droid's memory" doesn't work. What about Obi Wan's memory? What about everyone else's? Uhu.
