Star Wars III: The Revenge of the Sith

SPOILER WARNING!!! THIS POST IS WRITTEN UNDER THE ASSUMPTION THAT YOU HAVE SEEN STAR WARS III, OR HAVE AT LEAST SEEN THE OTHER STAR WARS AND PIECED TOGETHER WHAT HAPPENS. IF THE ABOVE DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU, STOP READING!!! LIKE, RIGHT NOW! SSSTTTOOOPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I really liked Star Wars III. It wins the award for the first movie that ever made me cry. I know that’s a little weird… It’s kind of like really Katie? You made it through “Bridge to Terribithia” and “Romeo and Juliet,” but put in Star Wars and you bawl like a baby?? Yeah, the love story part was badly written. Almost every conversation between Anakin and Padme had terrible dialogue. But still… I don’t know. When Anakin turned to the dark side, I cried a little. When Padme found out, I cried. When Obi-Wan was talking to Anakin while he was being burned in the lava, I cried a lot. When Padme died, I cried a lot.

Even though the love story was badly written, the rest of it had awesome writing. You could really see Anakin’s side, and why he joined the dark side. He thought he was saving Padme. The Chancellor used his anger, his hate, and his pride to deceive him. It worked. By the time Anakin figured out that he wasn’t saving Padme, it was too late. His loyalties were with The Sith Lord.

Now, there were some pretty intense scenes. In a fight with Anakin, Count Dooku looses his arm, and The Chancellor tells Anakin to kill the Count, even though it’s not the Jedi way. He does. Anakin also has some nightmares about Padme while she’s in labor, and they’re kind of scary. Then the scene where Anakin turns to the dark side is pretty intense. He helped The Sith Lord to kill Master Windoo, and right afterwards he goes into a room and kills really young apprentices. Tiny children, who were being trained to be Jedi. Also, the last two scenes are really intense. Anakin gets thrown into a pit of lava, after he looses an arm. It shows them performing surgery to get him in that suit. Padme has her babies, and then dies.

Now, before I finish, I have to poke a little fun. First of all, has it ever occurred to anyone that basically everyone in this movie loses their arm at some point?? And now, I have to quote a facebook flair. “A guy can only be called ‘Ani’ so many times before he flips.”
