Was I Pre-Ordained To Love Sith Or Did I Really Love It?

 [confessions of a (thirtysomething) drama queen :: Main Page] When he says, "The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities, some considered to be 'unnatural'" it absolutely gives me chills. He has been one of the bright (or should I say "dark") spots of the newer trilogy and I'm glad that Sith gave him an opportunity to really shine. My favorite scenes are between Palpatine and Anakin in this movie rather than between Anakin and Obi-Wan. That's why I thought that the newer trilogy should have started a little later in Anakin's life so we could get a better feeling about Anakin's relationship with his mentors.

Some slightly related from Technorati and Google.

[Zonkerama] Thoughts on Sith: As Lucas’ mastery of special effects has grown over the years, he’s lost any real knack for character development or storytelling. (Anakin’s conversion to the Dark Side doesn’t really count: That was already a done deal after he wrapped up the first trilogy.) The Sith apprentices or accomplices in the films were throwaway stooges, basically. Darth Maul had promise, but no character development. Count Dooku (what a horrible name…) aka “Darth Tyranus,” had real promise, but failed to deliver once again: Christopher Lee was so under-used and so poorly used it’s not funny.

[Flynn Files] Revenge of the Sith: But it's unworthy of the Star Wars trilogy. The dreadful first half of Revenge of the Sith is made up for by a climactic finish that ties together the storyline of episodes one through three while setting up the events of episodes four through six. The film is still uneven. While the grown ups (Palpatine, Obi-Wan) played their roles to perfection, the kids (Padme, Anakin) stumble through awkward dialogue.

 [NevOn] Star Wars is simply a great story: I thought the final part of the film, following Anakin's conversion into Darth Vader, set a pretty seamless transition to Episode IV, the original Star Wars film released in 1977. How the newly-born Luke and Leia were separated to protect them from their father, Darth Vader on the bridge of a star destroyer, the crew below in uniforms that were those in the later (original) films, the partly-built Death Star visible through a window - all elements that bridge the gap between this last of the new trilogy with the first of the original trilogy.

[FilmChat] I was born in a pile of Sith: In Episode II, Dooku tells the Jedi that he is waging his Separatist rebellion because the Sith have gained control of the Senate. By the beginning of Episode III, the Jedi have figured out that the Sith are actually running the Separatist movement itself, through Dooku. Have they figured out that the Sith are running both sides of this show? Or have they given up looking for the Sith lord running the Republic because they assume the Sith are entirely with the Separatists?

 [Kurafire.net] Review: Star Wars episode III: Revenge of the Sith - The KuraFire ...: Last wednesday was the day for me: Star Wars episode III: Revenge of the Sith was released in theaters. As an immense fan of the Star Wars universe, I was looking forward to it a great deal, despite having mixed feelings about Episodes I and II. Episode III was different, however.

[Stormwyrm.blogspot.com] The Storm Wyrm's Blog 竜の嵐: Revenge of the Sith: The worst thing about this is that these romantic dialogues between Padme and Anakin are a vital part of what should be driving the story to its tragic conclusion. To see them written and acted in such a lackluster fashion removes a good part of the impact that Anakin's eventual fall could have had. Fans of the original trilogy would recognize in the final battle between Count Dooku and Anakin Skywalker a parallel to the final battle between Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker at the end of

[Blog.dailysnap.com] DailySnap Blog: Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005): There are so many ironies (if you can call them that) as well. I guess the grandest is that Anakin is the chosen one - the individual who will bring balance to the force. Even though he ends up becoming Darth Vader (if you didn't know that by now, stop talking to me far now on in), it's still true (through Luke). It was interesting to see why Anakin joins the dark side.

[Themovieblog.com] Kevin Smith Reviews Revenge of the Sith: If you dont even know the name of the film " made in the seventies" then why are you here in the first place!?!?! it is called STAR WARS-numbnuts- and it is because of that film(unfortunately not that film alone- that honor goes to 2001:a space odyssey) that made the sci-fi genre what it is today. Secondly- her name was Princess Leia- SHOW HER SOME RESPECT DUDE! After all she can kick your sorry punk ass into oblivion any day of the week.Thirdly- Kevin Smith isnt from the suburbs- he is purely a city boy- and he has a job- he makes movies- its too bad u have to sit in an internet cafe' with your bad english and lack of proper grammar and rant on here as if you actually purport to know something about the Star Wars series of movies.

[Spankgranny.com] spankgranny.com » Blog Archive » Revenge of the Sith review: In the context of the prequel trilogy, “Episode III” will likely be the favorite of most “Star Wars” fans. Of all three, “Revenge of the Sith” displays the most even treatment and places the most importance on the developing story at hand, although truthfully these features are practically a given considering it’s the last entry to the series (and God knows Lucas had to get something right on his third try). This isn’t to say that “Episode III” doesn’t have its share of outlandish effects and weak character development, but as far as its contribution to the “Star Wars” universe, it ties up the tale rather nicely, if predictably.
